Made with aluminium alloy and advanced LED technology, the versatile nature of the Saber allows it to fit into any design. The Saber is made with a 10.4mm video strip with two rows of SMD 3in1 LEDs attached. It is available in three sizes, 1000mm, 500mm and 250mm in length. The total fixture is lightweight and less than 1" (2.5cm) wide with a depth of just under 3" (7.6cm) without clamps.
The 1000mm section weighs only 2.65lb (1.2kg), with a three-sided mounting track that allows for various mounting options. Saber was designed to mount seamlessly end-to-end but can also be stacked and maintain its 10mm pixel pitch. The optional round diffuser provides a classic tube effect, while the square diffuser is yet another option that looks great stacked and surface mounted, the company says. Current mounting options include Bracket with Half Coupler, Joiner Bracket & Joiner Bracket with Half Coupler. Other mounting options are available for both production and architectural applications.
Furthermore, Upstaging has partnered with the UK's Brompton Technology to implement the user-friendly Tessera GUI processor that is customisable and easy to use. The Tessera processor is able to configure a unique Saber display. This information gets stored on a memory card in the Control Box which remembers the information even after the unit is turned off. Upstaging has the Saber in stock now for rental applications.
