Chauvet Colorbank LED Wash System
Chauvet’s Colorbank LED is the first LED-fitted striplight fixture in the Color Bank™ line of wash lights. Unlike its three-halogen predecessors, this wash light is fitted with 304 long-life diodes housed in four pods with RGB mixing. It is DMX-512 programmable and the diodes offer the advantage of low power consumption and low heat emission. Multiple units can be daisychained and you can trigger built-in color change programs as well as chase and fade functions via DMX and in master/slave mode. All functions,
including full RGB mixing, can be also performed on stand-alone. Units are simply attached with a bracket that is included.

Lamina Ceramics Titan LED Light Engine
Lamina Ceramics recently launched the Titan 3000K, 25-watt warm white LED light engine. They are also available in RGB and “daylight” white models. At greater than 1,200 lumens, the Titan daylight white model is competitive with compact fluorescent bulbs—although Titan’s 60-degree projection angle eliminates the need for the reflectors required in fluorescent applications. Titan white, at 4700K, is ideal for architectural and office lighting applications, task lamps, machine vision and high-powered flashlights. The 800 lumen output Titan RGB LED light engine produces any of 16 million saturated and blended colors (including white with variable color temperature) from a single point source.

Matthews Studio Equipment Colornett Fabrics
Matthews Studio Equipment’s new Colornett group of fabrics, available in both gold and silver, create shifts in color temperature and diffuse light as it passes through the fabric. A single gold Colornett will lower the color temperature of the source by 400 degrees and a double will lower it by 600
degrees, while a single silver Colornett will raise the color temperature by 200 degrees and a double will raise it by 350 degrees. Light loss is .4 stops for a single and .8 stops for a double. Available in standard overhead sizes as well as custom sizes up to 30’x100’.

Martin MAC 700 Wash
The new MAC 700 Wash from Martin is the companion wash light to the MAC 700 Profile. The wash is a 700-watt Fresnel with a shortarc lamp, electronic ballast, CMY color mixing, variable CTC, 8 position color wheel, variable zoom from 12.5° to 66°, continuous and indexable beam shaper, and dimmer. It is housed in the same modular design as the MAC 700 Profile, with multi-connectors and spring-loaded release mechanisms that allow removal and insertion of modules without tools. A multi-position tilt lock keeps the head from moving during transportation and a low-speed cooling system reduces noise.

Metropolis TC30-75 Beamer
The TC30-75 “Beamer” 75-watt RGB LED projector from Metropolis AV is a solid-state full color fixture. It comes with standard spreads of 6, 15, 25 and 25 x 6 degrees (letterbox). A large heat sink on the projection head allows passive non-fan cooling of the LEDs. Another heat-reducing factor is that the driver is located in a separate unit. The driver unit connects to the LED projector via an RJ45 plug, and can drive through more than 30 meters of structured Cat5 cable. The unit is capable of DMX512 control and it has a usable life of between 50,000 and 75,000 hours.

Neutrik Sealed Ethercon
Neutrik now offers an assembly kit for its D-Series EtherCon connectors to achieve a waterproof IP54 connection. The assembly kit is suitable for all Neutrik EtherCon D-Series chassis connectors (NE8FD). An IP54 protection is achieved by replacing the front plate and pushing the lever with the kit components. The NE8MC-1 had been modified several months ago with a
sealing gasket and weatherproof Collinox plating. It is the ideal mate in combination with the SE8FD kit. Neutrik manufactures an array of XLR connectors and receptacles, jacks and plugs, speaker connectors and accessories.
