Robe Launches ROBIN DLS Profile and DLF Wash

	ROBIN DLS Profile

Robe has launched two new units specifically aimed at the television and theatre markets, the ROBIN DLS Profile and the ROBIN DLF Wash. These products are said to be the result of extensive research and development aimed at perfecting the white light requirements of these markets.

The DL range of luminaires use the Robe RGBW LED module, and the DLS adds a system of four fast, smooth, framing shutters within the optical path design of the proven DLX Spot format. There is individual control of each shutter blade position and angle together with rotation of the complete framing module. As well as providing a sharp precise or soft frame for the projected image, the system produces a new series of effects through preprogrammed shutter blade shape and movement sequences. The multiple shadows normally associated with an LED source have been eliminated.

The Robe RGBW LED light source reproduces both rich and pastel colors at output levels normally associated with 1200W discharge fixtures as well as pure whites at preselected 2700K, 3200K, 4200K, 5600K, and 8000K color temperatures. The tungsten emulation function allows the fixture to be integrated into lighting schemes with existing traditional lanterns.

The ROBIN DLF Wash is based on the same RGBW LED module. With a smooth output via the front fresnel lens, the fixture has been optimized for those wanting an even light output with no shadows (RGB breakups and shadows are not present even when on closely positioned trussing or other objects).

Mechanical features include a newly designed linear motorized zoom of 5.5 degrees to 60 degrees and a diffusion filter for extension of the zoom up to 75 degrees. The fixture uses a beam shaping module for creating different shapes, which also simulate barn door effects. The module consists of four individually controllable blades and is rotatable by plus or minus 90 degrees.

Advanced software features include RGBW or CMY color mixing, a set of calibrated whites, CTO, tungsten lamp emulation (amber shift), and more.
