Chauvet Professional Shows Off Fixtures at the NAMM Show

Chauvet Professional WELL 2.0

Chauvet, a manufacturer of professional lighting, will display an assortment of fixtures in booth 5574, at the NAMM Show 2013, running January 24-27 in Anaheim, California. Highlighted in the show are Chauvet Professional Nexus 4x4 eye-candy LED wash light, Legend 230SR Beam moving yoke, Ovation series of theatrical luminaires, MVP Ta8 Curve modular video panel, Q-Wash 436Z-LED zooming LED wash light, battery-operated WELL 2.0 luminaire, and more.

Chauvet Professional Nexus 4x4 is both a bold eye-candy and a tour-ready wash light that uses RGB COB LED technology, combined with a soft reflector, delivering a bright performance, according to the company. From audience blinder effects, vibrant pixel-mapped eye-candy effects, to large-scale stage washers, Nexus 4x4 offers rendering from off-axis viewing angles, and even field from the 16 x 20W cells per panel. The fixture is Art-Net, Kling-Net, and DMX ready, with on-board power and data linking that can be used as an Art-Net to DMX converter. Nexus 4x4 utilizes integrated mounting hardware, which makes for an easy setup whether it's one or an array of 100 fixtures.

Chauvet Professional Legend 230SR Beam is a compact, lightweight, intensely bright moving head beam, built for touring, live events, television sets or clubs. Legend 230SR Beam has a tight 2.25-degree beam angle and houses a 230W Osram Sirius lamp, which makes this fixture strikingly bright at 96,000 lux at 15m. The incorporated glass optics and eight-facet rotating prism with zoom capabilities and motorized focus contribute to hard-edged beams and aerial effects accentuated by haze or fog. Operating at variable speeds, the trapezoidal 14-position (plus open) color wheel allows for better split colors and seamless transitions. Also featuring variable speeds, the gobo wheel has 17 gobos (plus open) for inspiring effects.

Chauvet Professional Ovation F-165WW and Ovation E-190WW luminaires are designed specifically for theater and stage. Powered by 16 x 10W LEDs, Chauvet Professional Ovation F-165WW -- the line's Fresnel-style fixture -- delivers over 1,500 lux at five meters (13 degrees) without a significant temperature-related drop off. The fixture has an easily adjustable motorized zoom and works well with barn doors to aid in glare reduction and beam shaping. Knobs for local control of both dimming and zoom enable fast focus calls with or without a board-op. Its innovative LED source produces smooth, even washes from nine- to 52-degrees with a color temperature of 3,100 K and a beautiful soft field. Selectable dimming curves make it compatible with older, traditional theater Fresnel lights. Powered by 19 x 10W LEDs, Chauvet Professional Ovation E-190WW -- styled after the ellipsoidal spot fixtures -- delivers over 2,000 lux at five meters (using the 26-degrees lens tube). Ovation E-190WW has standard beam shaping shutters, separate gobo and effect slots, and lens barrels that are interchangeable with other ERS fixtures. It will be shipping with the option of 19-, 26-, 36-, or 50-degree high-resolution lenses. Ovation E-190WW has a color temperature of 3,100K, a beautiful flat field, a 16-bit dimming curve, allowing for smooth fades at the lowest levels.

Chauvet Professional MVP Ta8 Curve is a modular video panel loaded with tri-color SMD LEDs at a tight 8.33mm pixel pitch. Due to the integrated hardware, these panels can be built straight, or in convex and concave curves with a 36-degree range of curvature (plus/minus 18 degrees), without losing pixel pitch. The blackface SMD LEDs offer a great contrast, while the tight binning of LEDs ensures consistent color rendering across panels. Rated IP54, MVP Ta8 Curve is suitable for temporary outdoor applications. Solid construction makes these ideal for touring and long-term installation. Installation and connectivity are easy, using Neutrik powerCON and etherCON connectors.

Chauvet Professional WELL 2.0 makes battery-operated uplighting even easier with 12 three-watt tri-colored LEDs controllable in two independent focusing zones and calibrated to ensure consistency among fixtures, including with the Chauvet Professional COLORado line. WELL 2.0 runs on a built-in 12V battery, which lasts for more than 12 consecutive hours at full output, or over 20 hours in a single color. This wireless wash light has color temperature presets from 3,200K to 10,000K and features a split LED array to direct beams of light at different angles. For control, standard DMX ports are available, as well as a pre-installed Wireless Solution W-DMX receiver with a small and robust antenna for better reception. The unit's reflective casing helps it blend in any environment where a discreet installation is key the company says. The road case offers built-in charging for up to six units.

Joining the Q-Series line of moving heads, Chauvet Professional Q-Wash 436Z-LED is a zooming LED wash powered by 36 x 10W quad-colored RGBW LEDs. A versatile zoom of 17- to 39-degrees makes this unit appropriate for a wide variety of applications. Five sections of LED control and built-in color macros deliver stunning eye-candy effects and flicker-free dimming allows for on-camera use.
