Elation To Show New Products at PLASA Focus: Orlando

Elation will be showing following new products that address hot lighting and video trends at its PLASA Focus Booth #520 May 15-16 at Wyndham Orlando Resort, in Orlando, Florida.

The EZ6 LED Video Panel is a high-resolution 22.7" x 22.7" indoor video display panel, powered by premium tri-color 3528 SMD LEDs, that delivers a 6mm pixel pitch, 1,800-nit brightness, and 960 Hz refresh rate, allowing it to produce sharp, clear high-definition graphics, text, logos, and images. Yet it is also very affordably priced, light weight, and easy to assemble, making it the ideal choice for nightclubs, concert venues, live stages, and exhibit halls, the company says.

As the smallest and fastest LED moving head ever created by Elation, the Rayzor 7 delivers unsurpassed brightness for its size (11lb., 9.25" x 5.5" x 12.5"), a razor-sharp seven -degree beam angle, smooth Quad-Color RGBW color-mixing, and new high-speed 3-phase motor technology that makes its eye-popping beams fly around the room. Powered by 7 x 15W OSRAM four-in-one (red, green, blue, white) LEDs, the Rayzor 7 also offers the bonus of four-zone chase effects for added visual excitement. For applications that require greater output, Elation has introduced a more powerful version, the Rayzor 12, with 12 x 15W four-in-one RGBW LEDs that can produce up to 5,840 lux at 5M (16'). The Rayzor 12 also features the compact size, lightning-quick movements, sharp seven-degree beam, smooth Quad-Color mixing, and zonal chase effects that characterize the series, along with new features such as a rainbow effect.

The original Platinum Beam 5R ACL beam moving head was one of the most popular and widely acclaimed effects in Elation's history -- now the company is building on its success with the next-generation Platinum Beam 5R Extreme. Like its predecessor, the new Extreme is an intense concentrated searchlight-like narrow-beam (three-degree) effect that utilizes the Philips MSD Platinum 5R lamp, allowing for much greater energy-efficiency and a more compact, lightweight design compared to discharge fixtures of equivalent output. But the Platinum Beam 5R Extreme moves at even faster speeds than the original and achieves new levels of brightness and output, thanks to the use of three-phase motors and an improved optical design. It also offers some exciting new features, including a remote focus and a wireless DMX option.

Elation is also giving lighting pros an easier way to design and visualize their lightshows. The company has entered into an agreement with Sweden-based Capture Visualisation AB to distribute Capture lighting design and documentation software in the US. Available for both Windows and Mac OS X, Capture software is world-renowned for being easy to use and having a minimal learning curve while giving lighting professionals the ability to work in real-time with all elements of their design, the company says. Featuring a built-in library of more than 6,000 fixtures from all major lighting manufacturers, Capture is available in three affordable versions based on users' needs, and no annual subscription fees are required.
