Description

Redefining the boundaries of output, optical excellence, and performance while retaining all the subtleties of theatrical precision, the iSERIES IP65-rated Robe iFORTE® LTX WB is truly the next-generation unrivalled WashBeam luminaire for live concert touring, indoors or out!

Impactful and Powerful, 1,000W XP (Xtra Performance) IP65-rated White LED ENGINE produces an incredible, 355,000 lx at 5 m.

In line with its outstanding performance, the iFORTE® LTX WB creates an imposing visual statement with its domineering, solid beam from the 245mm front lens.

Innovative optics to attain absolute WashBeam functionality, the FORTE® LTX WB can operate in various ways. The standard Optical Range Mode permits the widest 3.5° – 52° coverage. Using the iris, you can narrow the beam for 2°-52° coverage. The Long Throw Mode, using xR7™ technology, provides an ultra-tight 0.7 – 2° beam to deliver crisp, incisive beams without any intensity loss usually found when engaging an iris over long distances.

Colour generation via a CMY colour mixing system. With two colour wheels and a variable CTO of 3,000 – 6,700K, you have all the tools to cover everything from the densest saturates to the most refined pastel shades. ChromaTint™ patented green content control technology allows fast adjustment, especially useful for broadcast users.

The PLANO4™ four individual plane blade system, with 120° module rotation, delivers precise, endlessly repeatable framing without shape restriction.

The iFORTE® LTX WB is not all about power. It’s packed full of features and effects, including; One rotating, indexable gobo wheel with 5 replaceable gobos; Two aluminium animation wheels with variable speed and directional control; Two independently controlled stackable prisms-one 6-facet circular and one 6-facet linear; Two MagFrost™ interchangeable 1° and 5° frosts; 2° Beam Reducer for long throw follow spot operation.

In addition, the luminaire has advanced L3™ 18-bit dimming system, Cpulse™ flicker-free management for the latest camera systems and Epass™ in and out ports for automatically maintained network connectivity.

Removing the need for pre-use pan and tilt calibration, MAPS™ (motionless Absolute Positioning System) allows fixtures to calibrated without movement. This also removes audience distraction while resetting during a performance.

At the heart of the protection is RAINS™ (Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System). This highly advanced patented technology not only prevents ingress. It actively manages the fixture’s internal microclimate removing internal moisture build-up caused by constant heating and cooling to provide maximum protection for electronics.

To maintain consistently high lumen output, even with the rigours of outdoor performance, water, dirt, dust, haze, and smoke are repelled from the front lens with a unique parCoat™ hydrophobic, oleophobic-resistant coating.

For operation in extreme cold, the iFORTE® LTX WB contains innovative POLAR+™ technology. This special standby mode maintains the fixtures sensors and communication channels remain active while greatly reducing power consumption. When activated, POLAR+™ will automatically maintain an internal temperature level, allowing instant operability down to minus 50 degrees centigrade!

Ideally suited for remote outdoor installations, REAP™, the Robe Ethernet Access Portal communication software, viewed as a web browser, shows real-time fixture monitoring of all parameters, including complete RAINS™ status information such as pressure and internal saturation levels.

By including NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology, you can access setup, diagnostic and performance features, even without power, directly from your mobile device using the Robe Com app.
