Robe to Show ROBIN Pointe, Other Products at PLASA Focus: Orlando

Robe Robin Cyclone effects moving head

Lighting manufacturer Robe Lighting introduces a palette of four creative new products at PLASA Focus: Orlando, running May 15-16 at the Wyndham Orlando Resort in Florida. Topping the list is the Pointe along with three more fixtures from Robe's multi award-winning Robin product line. The ROBIN Pointe is a new dynamic beam, spot, and wash fixture -- a small, super-bright and very fast signature unit with an intense and sharp parallel beam along with a host of features making it a truly unique and versatile lightsource.

Features include a 5- to 20-degree zoom with full focus control, variable frost, two separate prism effects, a rotating and static gobo wheel, and built-in color wheel.

The lightsource is a 280W Osram discharge lamp making the Pointe a dynamic fixture for creating excitement on a large and small scale while also embracing Robe's 'smaller, lighter, brighter' and more eco-friendly philosophy.

Special characteristics include speed and an impressive list of additional creative elements such as the zoom, linear and circular rotating prisms, as well as rotating and static gobo wheels.

A custom developed homogenizer works with the rotating gobos to spread the light evenly and achieve optimum projection quality. A variable frost effect instantly transforms the output into that of an efficient wash light.

Robe gets to the Pointe in delivering lighting designers a robustly built, reliable fixture weighing just 34lb.

The Robin MiniMe is an effects lighting luminaire with the addition of full video output. This small, neat, fast moving fixture is LED driven with a 20,000 hour lifetime source.

Colors, gobos, and beam shapes are all digitally generated by the on-board micro media server. Custom artwork, still photographs, and video can also be uploaded for projection, while live video can be streamed through the HDMI input.

The Robin Cyclone is an innovative effects moving head product that has an integrated fan in the center of the head surrounded by a ring of 24 x high powered RGBW multichip LEDs. There is a zoom of 8- to 63-degrees on the LEDs and a strong central airflow that can be combined with fog and haze to assist with creating the best quality atmospheric effects.

The vari-speed fan can be independently DMX controlled -- starting from a very low RPM and is a perfect complement to fog and hazers in any live environment, from clubs to concerts, needing fine-tuned fog / haze flows, from a mere wisp of smoke to full-on immersive low cloud coverage.

Each LED is individually controlled and can be pixel-mapped for the creation of eye-catching color, rainbow, and strobe effects. The Cyclone works for lighting and cooling performers from a neat footlights position and can also produce dramatic "hair-blowing" and "smoke-through-the-fan" effects.

The Robin CycFX is a one meter linear strip that can be tilted 270-degrees featuring an array of high-powered RGBW LEDs for smooth color mixing, with a zoom option that opens the spread out from 8- to 53-degrees. The ultra-fast, motorized tilt movement allows the creation of spectacular wave effects along a line of fixtures.

Individual control of each LED makes the fixture map-able, and enables multiple CycFXs to be built in to a variety of matrix designs. The unit is supplied with many built-in pixel effects and pre-programmed sequences.

Pre-selected color macros also help to make it easy to set up and integrate into any lightshow. Integrated tungsten whites are set at 2,700K and 3,200K and the CycFX comes complete with Robe's popular tungsten emulation, including theatrical grade dimming and red-shift effect.

Wireless control is an option.
