The new Maverick MK Pyxis is on debut in Las Vegas
USA - From a wash-beam effect with a ring of nine LEDs and continuous 360° pan/tilt movement, to an indoor/outdoor video panel with magnetic LED modules, Chauvet Professional will be showcasing a wide array of solutions for lighting professionals at this year’s LDI show.
Certain to attract instant attention at the company’s LDI booth (1415) is the new Maverick MK Pyxis, featuring a design that includes an outer ring of RGBW LEDs, a powerful zooming centre pixel, 360° continuous pan and tilt movement and a host of other performance features.
At the centre of the Pyxis is a single homogenous 60W RGBW LED with a fixed 3° beam angle. Surrounding this pixel is an outer ring made up of nine 15W RGBW LEDS with a 7° to 45° zoom angle. A built-in virtual gobo wheel with background colors can be used to make the outer ring appear as if it’s spinning. With a combined center pixel and outer ring illuminance of 27,560 lux at 5 meters, the fixture has the output needed for arena applications.
Also blazing a new path for the Maverick series is the new Maverick MK2 Profile, the first profile light in the Maverick series. A 440W LED fixture with a high (90+) CRI, the newest member of the Maverick series has been designed to perform a wide variety of functions in theatrical, house of worship, touring, and event applications.
Featuring a four-blade framing shutter system with rotation and dual axis movement for each shutter, the Maverick MK2 Profile allows users to shape and size beams with great precision. The fixture’s iris, 3-facet motorized rotating prism, and motorized frost provide added beam control, and it 16-bit dimming of master dimmer results in smooth control of fades.
Joining the Maverick Pyxis and Profile at LDI is the Maverick MK3 Wash, a high-output RGBW moving yoke fixture powered by 27 40W Osram LEDS.
