Taking pride of place and following its popular debut earlier in the year at Frankfurt ProLight and Sound, Philips Showline will be promoting the SL NITRO 510 LED strobe.
Sister company Philips Vari-Lite will be demo'ing the recently released Indy software for the VLX Wash luminaire, which enables individual control of the fixture's seven 120-watt RGBW LED engines. This facilitates a multitude of stunning looks and original chases to be programmed on the face of the luminaire, further enhancing the creative possibilities of the industry leading LED fixture. Other Vari-Lite luminaires include the new VL3015LT Spot luminaire which provides an unprecedented 42,000 lumens of output with an unmatched 10:1 zoom optics system and industry standard luminaires such as VL3500 Wash, VL3000 Spot, VL2500 Spot and VL2500 Wash.
Also on stand is the new PLCyc2 and PLprofile4 LED profile from Selecon. The PLCyc2 offers twin single source RGBW LED chips, which facilitate truly inventive colour mixing for stunning cyc and wash lighting effects. The new PLprofile4 LED luminaire further expands the PL lighting range and combines the same LED source technology with precision optical design. Four high-power, RGBW LED chips deliver high-brightness colour options with exact beam control and pattern projections. Other Selecon luminaires include Acclaim and Rama Fresnels, Acclaim Axial Zoom Spot, SPX ellipsoidals, and more.
Finally Philips Strand Lighting will be exhibiting the versatile 250ML moving light control console - an evolution of the popular Strand series 200 console. It features four encoders and an LCD display screen for quick and easy automated lighting and LED control making it ideal for smaller productions with a hybrid of lighting instruments. In addition, a Light Palette VL16 console will be alongside the 250ML further demonstrating the complete capabilities of the Strand line of lighting control consoles.
"The 250ML is already proving itself to be an ideal lighting control solution for schools and colleges, multi purpose venues and smaller theatres," comments Grant Bales Smith, senior sales manager for Philips Entertainment EMEA. "We have had a great response from customers and end users throughout the year at shows including: Frankfurt, PLASA Focus, Showtech and the ABTT show and we're excited to have the console for visitors to experience at Mediatech."
Philips Vari-Lite and DWR are also partnering to display a museum of lighting technology at MediaTech. Classic Vari-Lite fixtures and controllers such as the VL2C, VL4, VL5 and more will be on display along with a timeline of Vari-Lite's continued innovative and industry leading products.
