Color Split

Twice the Possibilities from a Single LED Fixture
The new Chroma-Q™ Color Split is a compact, high output LED fixture providing designers with twice the possibilities.

Bold single colour or dramatic split colour effects
Based around the Color Block's modular, multi-purpose design, the Color Split features larger dual side-by-side RGBA cells. This ingenious configuration provides designers with the flexibility to light with a bold single colour or project a wide range of dramatic split colour effects from a single LED fixture - making it ideal as a truss toner for illuminating the uprights and crossbraces.


 

Smooth colour wash from top to bottom of a surface
The Color Split's advanced split beam technology also provides a very even, soft beam output, similar to a Fresnel fixture, for a smooth colour wash from top to bottom of a surface without hotspots. A wide-angle lens in one cell evenly washes the lower portion of a wall or drape while a narrow lens in the second cell projects the beam higher. The fixture is also very bright and has a smooth, linear dimming curve.

Amber mixing for warmer colours & superior colour rendition
In addition to the standard RGB and latest HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity) control modes found in the Color Block, the Color Split also features unique 3 channel RGB (Magic Amber) and 4 channel RGBI (Magic Amber) modes which automatically and seamlessly blend the Amber alongside the RGB LEDs. By adding Amber to the colour-mixing process, a better range of warmer colours can be achieved, resulting in an enhanced colour gamut and therefore superior colour rendition index (up to 82%).

High brightness for demanding lighting environments
With a 620 lumen output, the Color Split is also extremely bright, making it ideal for even the most demanding lighting environments and applications.

Built in power supply & standalone mode
For maximum versatility, the Color Split features a built-in power supply and choice of control modes - the fixture can be operated in a standalone mode featuring 99 selectable effects or connected to DMX and controlled using additional equipment.

Wide variety of effects lighting applications
As well as making a highly effective wall washer and truss toner, the Color Split's modular, interlocking design and versatile yoke mounting makes it ideal for providing a wide variety of other effects lighting applications as well in the touring, rental, TV, theatre, tradeshow and indoor architectural sectors.

Broad choice of effects & fixing options
Units can be floor, truss or wall mounted and used individually or easily connected together to provide battens, blinders, footlights, side fills, cyclorama floods, discreet set piece lighting and interior architectural lighting applications - all from just a single fixture.

Dual side-by-side RGBA LED cells - bold single colour or dramatic split colour effects
Advanced split beam technology - smooth colour wash from top to bottom of a surface
Magic Amber control modes - warmer colours range & superior colour rendition
Built-in power supply - no additional costs
Choice of standalone or DMX control - for maximum versatility

Color Web

Shape your designs with unlimited flexibility
The revolutionary Chroma-Q™ Color Web provides unlimited flexibility and new creative possibilities for designers when it comes to displaying low resolution visual effects.

Configure to suit your design
Featuring a unique modular design, the pliable 1m / 3'3" square panels are now available in a choice of two resolutions.

The original Color Web 250 panel provides 16 individually addressable colour mixing LED cells with a pitch of 250mm /10".

The new Color Web 125 panel provides 64 individually addressable colour mixing LED cells with a pitch of 125mm / 5", providing double the resolution per square metre.

Panels clip together on all four sides and can even be joined over distances using separately available interlinking cables, enabling the display area to be quickly and easily re-configured to fit almost any stage height, length or custom shape.

Overlap & light through designs
As only 20% (Color Web 250) - 40% (Color Web 125) of the panel surface area is taken up by the lightweight, pliable webbing material, the Color Web offers unparalleled transparency for double hanging or multi-layering at distances.

It can also be lit through for maximum integration with set and other lighting elements.

Maximum creativity for minimal cost
The Color Web's low cost and infinitely expandable display size makes it an ideal choice of equipment for providing visual effects across a wide range of entertainment events, regardless of budget and venue size.

The new Color Web 125 offers increased flexibility and improved results for displaying more detailed video content, whereas at a quarter of the price, the Color Web 250 is the ideal solution for smaller budgets.

When considering the ratio of visual impact vs. equipment and trucking costs, the Color Web is arguably one of the most cost-effective visual effects solutions currently on the market.

For maximum flexibility the Color Web can be programmed using any DMX control device, with each cell using 3 DMX channels (RGB). It is ideally suited to integration with any DMX outputting media server to unlock its full creative potential.

Color Block

The Chroma-Q™ Color Block's™ modular design and comprehensive range of fixing options allows users to easily create a complete LED system using stock of just one generic fixture type - including battens, blinders and various mounting configurations using the built in fixing.

Each block features four sets of 3 high output RGB LEDs which produce an intense, powerful light and vibrant colours across the spectrum.

Designed to be intelligent both inside and out, the modular blocks incorporate the latest HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity) control as well as RGB, and Variable Effects Engine software which gives the lighting designer full control over colour and effects combinations.

The product's lightweight yet robust, heavy gauge aluminium extruded construction houses a discreet cable management system and additional protection is built around the LED lenses for a truly road proof fixture.

The Color Block's modular 'building blocks' design has proved extremely popular with both rental companies and end users, who have adopted the fixture to create fully bespoke LED lighting solutions for a wide range of touring, TV, theatre, tradeshow and indoor architectural applications.

Create effects lighting including battens, blinders, footlights, side fills, cyclorama floods, truss toners, discreet set piece lighting and interior architectural lighting applications - all from stock of just one fixture!

The Color Block range includes a wide choice of separately available fixing accessories for wall, floor, truss, stand and vertical hanging units, nine different color options, and UV and white LED versions for specialist applications.
