Elation Professional announces release of the new Smarty Hybrid, a compact yet full-featured CMY color-mixing Spot/Beam/Wash hybrid moving head with innovative “Flex” lamp technology.
Elation worked with Philips engineers to improve its Platinum lamp technology resulting in, "a new long-life Philips Platinum Flex 200 ‘smartly’ designed discharge lamp/ballast package produces high output for a compact fixture, with a lamp life of 6,000 hours," according to the company press release.
The Platinum Flex 200 lamp is dimmable via the internal ballast, which dims the lamp electronically and offers a Hibernation Mode designed to reduce power to the lamp when not in use, for lower power consumption. Lower internal heat can extend the life of the lamp and internal components of the fixture, according to the company release.
The Smarty Hybrid has flexible use as a spot, beam, or wash light. Designed for the wide variety of professional stage applications, the fixture’s Platinum Flex 200 lamp can emit up to 14,000 lumens while consuming a maximum of 480W.
Outfitted with a motorized zoom with auto-focus, beam angle range differs in beam and spot mode with gobo projection focus realized from 2.0° - 20° under Beam mode and 3.0° to 25° in Spot mode. No hotspot is visible in Spot mode. The Smarty Hybrid also includes a frost filter for a flat field wash effect.
The Smarty Hyrbrid’s full-featured design includes multiple color and graphics options. It offers a full CMY color mixing system plus linear CTO color correction with an extra 13 dichroic colors including UV and CTB color correction for greater color choice and color correction options. A variety of useful graphics are housed in two gobo wheels, one with eight rotating, interchangeable glass gobos and the other with 12 static-stamped metal gobos.
A host of effects and beam manipulations are possible via eight- and 16-facet independent rotating prisms and a motorized focus can be engaged for further effect. The Smarty Hybrid also houses a high-speed shutter for fast strobe effects (1-18fps) with smooth, full-range dimming possible all the way down to zero. Multiple CMY color, gobo, and prism macros have been included for programming ease.
The Smarty Hybrid is controllable via two DMX modes (20 / 34 channels) and supports RDM (Remote Device Management), Art-NET, and sACN protocol. The fixture can also receive wireless DMX via the integrated Elation E-FLY system. The fixture includes a six-button touch control panel with a full-color 180° reversible LCD menu display with battery backup for easier navigation through DMX and manual settings. Other features include five-pin DMX In/Out and PowerCON True one In/Out connections along with Art-Net and sACN support via RJ45 EtherCON In/Out connections. The fixture also houses a universal switch-mode power supply for use anywhere in the world.
