1. Elation KL Fresnel 8 FC
Designed for TV and film, theatre, tradeshows or any general AV application requiring high output soft light with precise colour reproduction and adjustable colour temperature, the KL Fresnel 8 FC excels at producing the soft field light that designers desire in order to masterfully highlight performers or scenery on stage. Offering a wide array of rich saturated colours, subtle pastels and dynamic white light, it is an ideal key and fill light source for situations requiring outstanding performance and colour quality. The KL Fresnel 8 FC produces the finest quality of light with dynamic colour temperature adjustment and full colour control. It houses a highly efficient 500W RGBMA LED engine calibrated at 6,500 Kelvin and emits a beautifully diffused wash of light. It produces over 18,000 field lumens with a motorised zoom range of 10° to 50° for easy adjustment of beam size. For illumination that is more precise with less light spill, adjustable and removable eight-leaf barn doors allow for customised shaping of the beam. Optimised for the specific requirements of broadcast, the KL Fresnel 8 FC can adjust for light that shifts away from pure white towards green or magenta through a green-magenta shift adjustment and a virtual gel library. DMX controllable with full RDM support, it offers intuitive manual control for standalone operation when desired for instant control of zoom, intensity, colour temperature, green shift and other important settings. The KL Fresnel 8 FC is portable yet rugged and can be mounted on a stand or suspended using any standard clamp or the included Junior pin adapter. It is fully self-contained without the need for an external power supply and offers locking power pass through for easy linking of multiple units.

2. Martin Audio TORUS
TORUS is a constant curvature array, designed to fill that gap perfectly, combining optimised coverage, SPL profile and cost efficiency. Typically, constant curvature arrays have adjustable horizontal dispersion but their performance can vary considerably in terms of tonality and effectiveness of coverage when different dispersions are selected. Equally, many lack sufficient sensitivity in the mid-band frequency, critically important for voice projection and clarity. They also can suffer from comb filtering. TORUS fundamentally addresses these areas and more. Each TORUS cabinet is designed for a flexible horizontal dispersion pattern and this can be manually adjusted between 90°, 60° or 75° (Asymmetrical) via the unique Dynamic Horn Flare. The Dynamic Horn Flare is moved by a rotating mechanism accessible from the front grille so is easy and intuitive, while leaving the grille design to be both smart and fully protective of the drivers within. TORUS also features a phase plug mounted in front of the 12-inch neodymium driver to increase mid-band sensitivity. Along with three 1.4-inch HF Polymer dome neodymium compression drivers, the sonic performance is not compromised even when driven at higher SPL. TORUS is the first product to take advantage of DISPLAY 3 and can therefore be modelled in 3D and optimised accordingly, allowing different box resolutions as well as automatically optimising filtering to deliver consistent and defined coverage.

3. Panasonic ET-SUK10 for PT-RQ35K
With Esports rapidly becoming one of the world’s most popular spectator sports, one of the challenges for the industry is to ensure that audiences in studios and stadiums see every detail of the gameplay on the large screens at the same time as the players. Any lag or juddery visuals can ruin the immersive experience. Panasonic’s latest High Frame Rate (HFR) upgrade kit (ET-SUK10) for the Panasonic PT-RQ35K projector addresses these issues bringing stadium and studio spectators closer to the action than ever before. The HFR upgrade delivers higher quality images with rapid and smooth movement and less image lag by enabling the 30,500 lumen, three-chip DLP laser projector to accept and output 240Hz HD signals using just one cable. The improvements delivered by the upgrade are significant. As well as enhanced images, latency can be reduced to just 5ms – compared to 82ms using predecessor Panasonic projectors, ensuring fans experience the thrill of the action in virtual real-time. “This groundbreaking visual enhancement creates a fantastic live experience, enabling the audience to see and react to the action as it happens,” said Hartmut Kulessa, European Marketing Manager at Panasonic Business. “It’s another important addition to our complete glass-to-glass production solution for the industry - from capture right through to distribution workflow.”

5. Prolights EclDisplay
Prolights has released its EclDisplay series, an LED spotlight that sets new standards in lighting technology for galleries, retail, hotels, exhibitions and any high-profile installations. The fixtures in the EclDisplay range come in a stylish housing, with multiple control options, sources, colours, lenses and accessories, with over 7,000 possible fixture configurations, using the same core technology, while meeting different aesthetic or technical requirements. The EclDisplay units are available in three control configurations: DAT, UN and CC. The DAT version comes with a built-in PSU, with manual knob-dimming, RDM, DMX and DALI control on-board. The UN version includes all the above and adds phase-cut dimming for retrofitting in existing systems. The CC (Constant Current) version works with external drivers, allowing installers to complete the light fittings with any track mounted, rack or boxed drivers, accepting any wired or wireless control (DALI, Casambi, 0-10, on-off). The EclDisplay is engineered with a 25W, high CRI LED engine. There are five different source options available: fixed white sources in 2,700K, 3,000K, 4,000K, 5,600K, as well as a 40W RGB+WW source, capable of delivering a wide tuneable white range, as well as beautiful pastels and saturated colours. Prolights has developed optics that unlock the fixtures’ full potential, increasing efficiency and light output. There are three lenses available: a zoomable 20º - 40º profile lens with four lockable blades, allowing to precisely frame any projection area with crisp or soft-edge accents, or to project images and textures through the indexable gobo holder. In addition, the zoom wash optics is available in 15º - 30º and 25º - 50º variants, making able to spread the light and obtain a wall-washing effect. The EclDisplay fixtures can be track-mounted, hanged or ceiling recessed through the optional ceiling kit. There is also a wide range of accessories available for the finer details, including a honeycomb louvre, snoot, four-leaf barndoors, filter-frames and indexable gobo-holders.
