Astera QuikBeam Wins ISE Best of Show Award Astera's new QuikBeam luminaire, launched at last week's Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) expo staged at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain, also won a Best of Show Award at the show. This was within the TVBEurope category, which recognizes standout, innovative broadcast-grade AV products and solutions that were on the show floor in Barcelona. The awards are judged by a panel of industry experts and editorial teams. Each submission is reviewed based on the product's feature set, ease of use, innovation, and uniqueness within the market. Usable in any lighting scenario, the company says, QuikBeam is a Fresnel lensed fixture with 13- to 60-degree zoom, complete with swappable batteries, practical plug-and-play functionality and the features and CRI / TLCI of Astera's Titan LED engine. New smart features introduced by the Astera R&D team include QuikBrick, a replaceable/swappable battery system, which saves wait time for fixtures to charge. Power over Ethernet connectivity over EtherCON enables streamlined installations with combined power and data over a single cable, running up to 328' for remote prepping and sACN / Art-Net control for shows and events. The versatile zoom with an extra narrow beam, HotBeam, delivers clean, highly defined beams, which are ideal for precise uplighting, accenting or the highlighting of features and set pieces, the company says. Astera's chief sales officer Sebastian Buckle says that winning the award was "a fantastic start for this new fixture that underlines the passion and ingenuity of our R&D team and everyone who has contributed to the design of this product, which is highly practical, versatile, and invaluable to have to hand."
