Elation Professional's Platinum Spot 5R Pro is an upgraded version of the Platinum Spot 5R DMX moving head. Both fixtures use Philips MSD Platinum 5R lamp technology to produce brightness comparable to a 575-watt fixture with only half the energy draw and a lengthy 2,000-hour lamp life. But the equally-compact-and-bright Platinum Spot 5R DMX adds an expanded array of professional features and effects, making it well-suited for theaters, stage shows, concerts, productions, churches, nightclubs and other entertainment venues. Among the new features on the Platinum Spot 5R Pro are a 16-bit CMY color-mixing system and a Variable Zoom (4 to 1) with 11° to 42° beam angle. Additionally, the "Pro" model is equipped with a built-in EWDMX Wireless DMX Receiver, capable of receiving DMX signals wirelessly from up to 3,000 feet away, sent via an Elation EWDMXT wireless DMX transmitter (sold separately).
In addition to its CMY color mixing system, Zoom and Wireless DMX receiver, the Platinum Spot 5R Pro has all the design tools and features found on the original, such as 8 dichroic colors, 22 gobos (8 rotating/indexing, 14 static), and a 3-facet rotating prism. The Platinum Spot 5R Pro also has a Variable Frost Filter, which allows it to function as a hybrid spot/wash fixture; a motorized iris, motorized focus, variable speed shutter/strobe and 0-100% mechanical dimmer. Along with its Wireless DMX receiver, the Platinum Spot 5R Pro includes 3-pin and 5-pin DMX connections.
Capable of operating in three different DMX channel modes, the standard being 23 channels, the Platinum Spot 5R Pro has a 540° (630° optional) pan and 265° tilt, and it is also well-suited to applications requiring quicker movement than traditional moving heads on pan and tilt, as well as on color/gobo changes.
At a 16-foot distance, the Platinum Spot 5R Pro has an output of 6,350 LUX/ 590 foot-candles, while consuming only 305 watts of electricity at maximum use. The Platinum Spot 5R Pro measures 14.6 by 14.5 by 18.4 inches (371mm by 368mm by 467mm), and weighs 42 lbs./19 kg. cETLus certification is currently pending and expected to be issued in March 2011.
The MSRP of the Platinum Spot 5R Pro is $4,199.95.
