The German company continues to play a very active role in the show, and in addition to showcasing its expanding portfolio, it will also be helping to decorate the main PLASA entrance with fully rigged 'flower stands'.
On the stand, however, pride of place will be given to the new Volkslicht Spot.
Treading in the footsteps of the impression Spot One, the Volkslicht Spot features a powerful 230W RGB LED light engine, and the same optical principles allowing it to project a full spectrum from deep saturates to light pastel shades, with smooth cross fades or instantaneous colour bumps.
The Volkslicht Spot offers a full feature set, including a wheel of seven rotating gobos, 11 fixed gobos, a rotating prism, 16 bit pan and tilt, motorized focus and a fixed beam angle of 13 degrees. Its compact size and lightweight design, however, will be sure to impress and show visitors how it is now possible to achieve stunning quality and output levels within a small package.
Receiving its UK premiere will be the impression X4. Incorporating 19 quad colour LED chips to create a high output unit. The X4 features a 7:1 zoom ratio from 7 to 50 degrees with consistent colour mixing at all beam angles, as users have come to expect from the impression range of fixtures. Its unique feature allows users to program each individual LED on the fly and create dynamic, patterns, static looks and chases as and when they choose to do so.
Also on display will be the impression Spot One, which has firmly established itself at the cutting edge of LED profile technology, along with its wash partner, the impression Wash One.
Meanwhile, G-LEC, originators of the semi-transparent video panel and popular Solaris system, will be showcasing the latest additions to their GVP video processor. Available in three versions, including a PC version, the GVP has been turning heads since it was first shown, due to its intuitive 'What You See Is What You Get' placement, which offers easy to use individual panel scaling and rotation control.
All visitors are invited onto the stand throughout the show for a special 'impression' beer.
