CHAUVET Professional Introduces New Products at LDI
The Chauvet Professional and Ovation booths at LDI introduced a collection of new fixtures with unique
performance features that would be adapted in theatres, concert tours and other applications around
the world.
Ovation E-260WW IP
In the Ovation line, there was Ovation E-260WW IP which is the first IP65 rated LED ellipsoidal. The
new indoor/ outdoor fixture, which has the same familiar form factor as standard ERS style fixtures,
joins the Ovation E-260WW, which was introduced earlier this year. The two Ovation LED ellipsoidals
have an output that surpasses that of a 750-watt HPL ellipsoidal (6,910 lux at 5M with a 26° lens).
New batten fixtures
Chauvet Professional also showcased the first batten fixtures ever in the company’s Ovation line. The new
Ovation B-565FC and B-2805FC are the first batten style fixtures that utilize the extended colour rendering
capacity of the RGBA-Lime colour mixing system. Offering RDM, Art-Net and sACN, in addition to standard
DMX control, the Ovation battens feature a colour blending filter for close-up colour mixing.
Like Ovation, the Chauvet Professional COLORado line is also being expanded to include more indoor/outdoor
fixtures. LDI witnessed the introduction of IP65 rated fixtures in the COLORado Solo series. Convection
cooled, the COLORado Solo fixtures run silently and feature selectable colour temperature as well as variable
PWM. It is well-suited for broadcast, theatrical and recital applications.
COLORado 1 Solo
Among the Solo series fixtures that were showcased at LDI were, COLORado 1 Solo, that has a single fully
homogenized 60-watt Osram RGBW LED source delivering over 5000 lux at 5M in full-spot mode; the
COLORado 2 Solo which has three 40-watt Osram RGBW LEDs that produce over 9700 lux at 5M in full-spot mode; and the COLORado 3 Solo, which combines the power of three 60-watt Osram RGBW LEDs to generate over 15,000 lux at 5M in full-spot mode. All of these fixtures have IP65 rated power and data connectors.
LED video walls
The company showcased the 4.8mm pixel pitch VIP F4 LED panel. Suitable for production, touring or
permanent applications, the panels have cable-free magnetic LED modules and a removable control/PSU
box allowing them to be serviced from the front or rear. The panels can easily be removed from the front
using an MT-03 tool, making it practical to install them flat on a wall. At the same time, the ruggedly
designed panels also come with road cases for touring. VIP F4 panels feature high contrast blackbody LEDs
and run on Novastar protocol, with the VIP Drive 43Nova.
