Claypaky heads to the theatre

The Axcor Profile 600 Teatro is a newer version of the Axcor Profile 600 ST and features an updated cooling system with mechanisms that are said to significantly reduce the unit’s acoustical footprint (from 38dB to approximately 34dB ambient). This fixture has been designed for venues where noise is a concern and offers a flat, uniform beam with no visible hotspots. With same physical features, size and effects as its Axcor 600 siblings, the fixture has a zoom range of 5.3–47.2°, CMY colour mixing, linear CTO, a five-colour wheel, a rotating gobo wheel with seven gobos, a rotating four-facet prism, an interchangeable animation wheel, a motorised framing system on four focal planes, a variable frost filter, a high-precision iris, an electronic linear dimmer and an electronic strobe. It is available in two different CRI versions: the Axcor Profile 600 Teatro has a CRI of 70 and an output of 28,000 lumens at 6,500K and the Axcor Profile 600 HC Teatro has a CRI of around 90 with an output of 21,000 lumens at 5,600K.

HY B-Eye K25 Teatro

Claypaky’s second addition is the HY B-EYE K25 Teatro, which is a special version of the HY B-EYE K25. Like the Axcor Profile 600 Teatro, the newer version is designed for venues that need silent operation without sacrificing bright colours. The HY B-EYE K25 Teatro has same optical, electronic and mechanical features as the HY B-EYE K25 but changes have been made to the overall design to reduce the acoustical footprint. This luminaire has the same 37 40W Osram Ostar RGBW LEDs, a zoom range of 4–60°, a uniform light spread and a rotating front lens with an enhanced electronic engine for dynamic beam pattern design. Individual control of each single LED is said to produce kaleidoscopic projections and eye-catching effects. The Kling-Net protocol reportedly enhances creativity and simplifies the management and synchronisation of LED light parameters and functions.

MIDI-B

Lastly, the MIDI-B is Claypaky’s new LED-based moving head luminaire with 19 Osram 40W RGBW LEDs. With a zoom range of 4–50°, the fixture has been developed for a wide variety of applications. The narrowest angle is ideal for aerial effects as the beam produced is ultra-dense and concentrated. At its widest zoom, the MIDI-B turns into a uniform wash light and can replace the heavier and bulkier fixtures. The 19 LEDs are arranged in three independently controllable rings, which can be used for bright back lighting effects. Other features include colour macros, a 2,500–8,000K colour temperature control range, a 16-bit dimmer with four curves, a 25 flashes per second electronic strobe and Ethernet access.
