ARRI develops Orbiter, the new ultra-bright LED luminaire with interchangeable optics

Orbiter, ARRI's new LED luminaire, aims to change the way the industry views digital lighting with ultra-bright, tunable and directional light.

ARRI presents in this IBC 2019 Orbiter, a new luminaria LED which is set to change the way the industry views digital lighting. Ultra bright, tunable and directional, Orbiter is a technologically advanced luminaire designed for maximum versatility. Your new six color light engine It offers a wide color gamut and excellent color reproduction at all color temperatures, along with smooth, industry-leading dimming from 100 to 0%.

With its interchangeable optics, Orbiter can transform into many different types of spotlights, including projection (profile), open face, y soft light. Additional features such as a fast processor, ample memory, expanded connectivity, an integrated set of sensors and a weather-resistant housing make the Orbiter a very interesting luminaire.

He Quick Lighting Support (QLM) en Orbiter permite fijar ópticas con propiedades muy diferentes a la luminaria. El haz direccional de alto rendimiento de la óptica de cara abierta es ideal para lanzar la luz a grandes distancias. La alta precisión de la óptica de proyección crea un círculo perfecto de luz que se puede modelar con cortadores, foco y gobos. La óptica de domo proporciona una luz suave y omnidireccional, ideal para iluminar grandes espacios, y un adaptador QLM universal crea un punto de montaje directo para productos Chimera y DoPhoice específicos para Orbiter.

Orbiter es una lámpara LED direccional extremadamente brillante y potente with a similar output to that of the corresponding HMI systems. Its new high-performance, yet tunable, ARRI Spectra light engine can create harsh shadows with sharp edges.

Including a red, green, blue, amber, cyan and lime LED, the six-color light engine ARRI Spectra results in a wider color gamut, more accurate colors and, most importantly, greater color reproduction across the entire CCT range. Skin tones look stunning and natural, and tones are accurately reproduced. Orbiter has a wider CCT range of 2,000 to 20,000K with ultra-high color reproduction at all color temperatures. Using a combination of three dimming techniques, Orbiter's state-of-the-art electronics provide smooth dimming to zero without color shifts or skips.

ARRI's new solution takes advantage of the software development of the popular SkyPanel. Their new software called LiOS (Lighting Operating System) It includes all the innovative and revolutionary features of the SkyPanel, plus others that make Orbiter one of the most complete luminaires on the market. LiOS' eight-color modes include CCT, HSI, single color, x/y coordinates, gel and source matching, lighting effects, and the new color sensor mode that measures ambient light and recreates it through the Orbiter output. Other new features in LiOS include simplified DMX modes, performance-enhancing operating modes, over 240 slots for favorites to be stored, optical recognition, multi-language support, a custom home screen, and many more to come.

With a pantalla a todo color de 4″, botones de navegación rápida y sensores integrados, el panel de control Orbiter permite un uso fácil con una interfaz gráfica de usuario. La estructura de menú simplificada y las interfaces de usuario reimaginadas proporcionan vistas operativas de un solo vistazo y pantallas despejadas. Este diseño intuitivo hace que cambiar el color o encontrar una configuración sea más fácil que nunca. Además, el panel de control es extraíble y se puede utilizar de forma manual con la ayuda de un cable de panel de control de 5 ó 15 m (16,4 ó 49,2 pies).

Conectividad mejorada

Including a full set of input and output connectors, Orbiter is ready for digital communication today and tomorrow. Ethernet daisy chaining is now possible with two EtherCON ports supporting Art-Net 4, sACN and TCP/IP. Two USB-A ports are used for LiOS updates and connecting third-party peripherals such as USB Wi-Fi dongles. LumenRadio's CRMX solution is included, enabling wireless DMX. Two 5-pin XLR DMX ports used for conventional DMX and RDM input and output communication, and one 3-pin XLR DC input for 48V power station. An SD card slot allows for future software expansion. Finally, a USB-C port is available for communication and computer maintenance.

Por último, destacar que incluye un sensor de color para medir la luz ambiental, un acelerómetro de 3 ejes y un magnetómetro para detectar el movimiento horizontal, vertical, de balanceo y de rumbo de la unidad, sensores de calor para mantener los LEDs y los componentes electrónicos exactamente a la temperatura correcta, y un sensor de luz ambiental para atenuar automáticamente la pantalla del panel de control. Todos estos sensores permiten una mejor experiencia del usuario y un mayor control de la unidad. Los datos disponibles mejoran el flujo de trabajo también en postproducción y servicio.
