Slovenian National TV invests in Robe
- Details
It is their first Robe purchase – although they regularly use Robe Pointes, LEDWash 600s, LEDBeam 100 moving lights on cross hire for specific shows - and the units were delivered by MK Light Sound, Robe’s Slovenian distributor.
The decision to purchase was made by Bojan Lenart, head of lighting and Bojan Repić, chief technologist for the broadcaster, together with others on their lighting team.
“There was absolutely no other product out there like this which has the side mounting control capabilities,” commented Bojan Lenart, explaining that the mission started as a hunt for follow spots with the option to control some parameters via a lighting console if necessary but that could also be used as a standard follow spot.
The BMFL LightMaster is an accessory kit comprising externally mounted programmable follow spot handles, a control panel and two individual faders.
RTV initially looked at conventional follow spots, however the big deciding factor was that the BMFL Blade is a multifunctional luminaire, so if they want to use the fixtures for something else – like key lighting or as part of a moving light rig – they also have the option to integrate it into the stage or studio lighting system.
The BMFL Follow Spots have been in action on a variety of programmes, including their Eurovision selection series and a large New Year’s Eve event in Maribor Arena.
