Utilizing an exclusive 470W short-arc lightsource, Robe’s diligently crafted MegaPointe optics produce bright parallel beams, incredible gobo projections, together with super-quick movement, smooth CMY colour mixing and a multitude of effects available for splitting and shaping the light in Spot, Beam or Wash modes.
The zoom ranges from 1.8 to 21 degrees in Beam mode – tight, powerful and punchy!
It goes from 3 to 42 degrees in Spot mode with crystal clear high-clarity output through a 150mm diameter front lens, with a stunning total lumen output of 20,375 and an impressive CRI of over 80.
Inventive in-air projections can be created using the new Effects Engine, preloaded with 12 dynamic beam and flower effects. These can be further finessed using the beam shaper which can emulate framing shutter effects and create rectangular shapes as well as being rotatable and indexable.
Utilizing the ‘light’ and ‘medium’ frost filters with any combination of colours from the CMY mixing system produces a beautiful, smooth, even wash coverage.
There is a static 14-slot plus open gobo wheel fitted with glass gobos for precision surface projections and exciting in-air impressions, and a second wheel contains 9 rotating, indexable and replaceable gobos.
These can be combined with a variable speed, bi-directional animation wheel which can be used in conjunction with any of the gobos … or on its own to enhance or produce exceptionally subtle and detailed effects and projections.
A remote adjustable hot-spot control can further influence the appearance of the lightsource, and there is yet more versatility with a series of pre-programmable ‘random’ strobe and pulse effects.
BMFLTM LightMaster Side / Rear is an accessory for BMFLTM Follow spots and BMFLTM Spot fixtures adapted to run in follow spot mode … when using the externally mounted programmable follow spot handles.
