The list is headed by the ALC4 modular LED Cyclorama light, previewed at IBC 2009, which has already been specified in large numbers for the current Jean Michel Jarre European tour as well several major television studios. The first Cyclorama fixture of its kind, the ALC4 is capable of providing over 1m shades of colour, including pure yellow and soft ambers, for extra ease of use the ALC4 provides seven user-selectable white light presets from 2700K to Daylight 6500K.
The Warp Daylight Follow Spot, a versatile Follow Spot version of the standard Warp Daylight fixture, has been developed in response to market demand by ADB Germany.
Also showing is the full production version of ADB's new flagship dimmer, EurodimTwin Tech, which allows users to combine sine wave, thyristor and fluorescent-compatible thyristor modules of different ratings within a single standardized cabinet. The new DimSwitch module is a dual capability thyristor module which can act both as a switch for normally non-dimmable resistive, inductive and capacitive loads or as a normal dimmer. DimSwitch reduces installation costs because fewer cables and outlets are required. The new ADB Dimmer Manager software detects the rating and type of the installed modules and reports to the operator the status of each module and channel, safeguarding against incorrect module combinations.
The Warp range of cool-beam zoom profile spotlights is expanded with the new optional choice of two optical systems for the Warp Daylight fixture to suit the application.
Warp Daylight fixtures are now available with a choice of two specific optical systems, in special rental versions and also as motorised remote controlled profile spotlights. The Peak Performance optical system offers maximised lumen output, with an ellipsoidal reflector optimised for high light output. The fixture gives an extra 'punch' of light, very useful for display and highlighting of scenic elements and actors.
Finally, the newly expanded Mikapack 15 and 30 entry-level dimmer range is designed to enhance programming functionality and flexibility for customers looking for simple yet reliable equipment built to the highest quality standards. Mikapack is a range of six channel or 12 channel 3 kW all-digital dimmer packs combining the performances and the reliability of a professional dimmer at a very competitive price.
