Featuring a large, newly designed effects section, CMY colour mixing and a 10°- 40° linear zoom, the luminaire is also the quietest of the range.
Features include a metal iodide 1200W lamp, and an effects section providing a graphic system comprising 20 gobos and an animation disc; two rotating gobo wheels, each with six bi-directional, indexable and easily interchangeable decorative glass and dichroic gobos, selectable 'Gobo shake' function; morphing effect; one wheel with eight fixed and easily interchangeable gobos and variable rotation.
There also two bi-directional rotating prisms, three frost filters, stop / strobe effect and a high speed mechanical Iris.
Also new is the Alpha Spot 700, a 700W effects projector with a 15° - 40° linear zoom; CMY colour mixing and a graphics system with 14 gobos and an animation disc.
It also offers some original features including a wheel with seven colours that can be easily replaced with the same number of gobos, a fixed gobo wheel with interchangeable gobos and a new dynamic animation disc that's interchangeable with other Animation or Graphic Discs.
The Alpha Wash TH is a wash light based on the Alpha Wash 575W, extending the latter's feature set with two extra features: a patended and motorized 'Top Hat' for full control of the light beam and an indexable ovalizer.
Clay Paky says it has made it 'easy to play with colour' using this luminaire, courtesy of the CMY colour mixing, colour wheel, linear CTO, linear frost, dimmer and stop/strobe effect. Optically the fixture combines a 575W metal iodide lamp, 4°-50°zoom, lightweight housing, quiet operation and a 200mm diameter fresnel lens.
The Alpha Wash HALO, meanwhile, is a new incandescent washlight with a 1,000 W (3,200 K) halogen lamp, ultra-bright, with extremely quiet operation, specifically intended for use in TV and theatre as well as commercial and architectural applications.
Finally, the CP Colour 400 SH (Separate Head) is a new 400W CMY colour changer, with the power supply unit removed from the lighting body. The lighting body can be placed up to a distance of 300 metres (984 feet) from the power supply unit since connected with a single power cable. This system allows to optimize the available space by hiding the power supply box inside false ceilings, or behind the scenes in theatres.
Users can also mount and clamp the lighting body to its own power supply in a compact configuration using an optional fast clamping kit. The projector's new electronics, with an external menu, is located near the lighting body.
