Italy - At SIB 2006, Rimini - the international reference point for technology, audio, video and lighting for shows and new entertainment - the company showed the new iSpot Extreme. The Coemar stand will also hosted heats of 2006 Bologna Music Festival, a European contest for emerging artists from all over Italy and various other European countries, presented by Guido Mandreoli and Federica Calabrò. Participants fought it out note by note, beneath Coemar's light show and in front of a jury made up of expert musicians, record label executives and members of the national radio and TV broadcast industry. TV coverage by Milan's Cinevideostudio.

The iSpot Extreme is Coemar's ultimate moving yoke projector and was expressly designed for 2006 Winter Olympics' opening ceremony in the Stadium of Turin, where both the iSpot Extreme and other Coemar luminaries played at their best.

It provides the most luminous output in its category, say the company, making the most of Philips new generation, high efficiency, variable power, compact 800-1400W lamps. Its zoom range (7° to 26°) allows to concentrate the light, providing a powerful output even when distances are prohibitive.

Innovative and versatile, the iSpot Extreme is equipped with two gobo wheels (6 rotating gobos each), two rotating optical glass prisms, frost effect, infinite colours from full proportional CMY, 5 fixed colours + white on colour wheel for the creation of "color 3D", 5 different colour temperature CTO filter on wheel. Advanced engineering and exclusive features make iSpot the ideal solution either to draw images and effects or as a wash for a brilliant color light diffusion, say the company.
