FORTE®
FORTE®
Forte means Excellence, Speciality, Strength. Our FORTE® certainly lives up to its name! With a choice of premium performance engines from our revolutionary TRANSFERABLE ENGINE technology, giving you the ability to maintain light quality, combined with a fixture packed full of specialist innovation, you have the luminaire ready to lead you into the future.
TE™ 1.000W White LED TRANSFERABLE ENGINE
up to 50.000 lm, 113.000 lx @5m, Cpulse™ special flicker free management for HD and UHD cameras, ready for 8K and 16K
5° - 55°
2 rotating gobo wheels, 2 color wheels, animation wheel, frost, iris, 6-facet circular and linear prisms, framing shutters
TE™ – Robe’s Transferable LED Engines
The TE™ technology addresses the problem of performance longevity of ageing LEDs by making the exchange of the engine a simple procedure that can be carried out in just a few minutes. But transferable means so much more than replaceable! Different sources can be fitted to one fixture depending on task. Every TE™ engine has its own, unique memory with all engine data of its usage.
HSL™ – HotSpot lens for LED profilers
By introducing our unique, patented 6:1 ratio hot-spot lens, we alter the field characteristics to create a centre-weighted, peaked beam. By adding a frost filter, you can now effortlessly achieve silky-smooth overlapping washes!
MCE™ – Split and multicolour effects
Robe offers unique split or multi-colour effects in two ways on our profiles and spot fixtures, adding a whole new blend of creativity to your designs! Generated either via a special split-colour filter or directly from MSL™ multi-spectral LED engine.
MLP™ – Multi-level prisms
MLP™ - Patented Multi-Level Prisms allow multiple rotating prisms to be "stacked" while retaining individual position, speed and direction of rotation control. With variable shape and size it creates unlimited dynamic, multi-level flower and beam effects, bringing a whole new collection of eye-popping creativity.
Robe NFC controller and app
The Robe COM application is an app based on NFC (Near Field Communication). It can be used to access to fixture’s settings of our NFC-based navigation display systems as well as reading out data of our TE™ Transferable Engines.
L3™ – Low Light Linearity System
The L3™ Low Light Linearity System produces imperceptible, ultra-smooth fades to black.
REAP™ – Robe Ethernet Access Portal
The Robe Ethernet Access Portal allows to access internal data from a networked fixture, viewed as a web page, addressable via the fixtures network IP.
Cpulse™ – Pulse Width Modulation Control
Cpulse™ is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control system for luminaires that allows you to select and fine-tune the LED driving frequency, from either the fixture's onboard display or remotely via DMX. By frequency manipulation in a range from 800 Hz to 25 kH, you ensure no flicker will be visible on any camera system including the latest HD & UHD models, ready for 8K and 16K. This means our fixtures can be used with all the latest cameras types for TV, video and film applications.
GDTF – General Device Type Format
The General Device Type Format creates a unified definition for exchange of data for the operation of intelligent luminaries, such as moving lights. The file format is human readable and developed using open source formats.
EMS™ – Electronic Motion Stabiliser
The Robe EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) system is a technology for precise Pan and Tilt movements, which reduces vibrations from audio outputs, truss movement and sprung or suspended floors.
airLOC™
AirLOC™ (Less Optical Cleaning) technology greatly reduces the level of airborne particles drawn over the optical elements in the luminaire.
Epass™
Robe lighting’s Epass™ provides Ethernet in/out connections with a pass-through switch that sustains Ethernet integrity when the fixture has no power to automatically maintain network connectivity.
Slot & Lock Gobos
Robe's patented Slot & Lock system allows for easy and fast replacement of both rotatable and indexable gobos.
MagFrost™
There is no need to be stuck with frosts supplied with the fixture! Robe’s MagFrost™ magnetic paddle system provides you with quickly exchangeable frosts, enabling you to select those most suitable for your production. 0.5°, 1°, 3.5°, 5°, 10°, 20° and 30° frosts are available.
Plano4™ Framing shutters
Robe's patented Plano4™ 4-blade framing shutter module offers unparalleled beam control with individual movement and rotation control for each blade. The Plano4™ FC module features full curtain movement, allowing each blade to move entirely across the light path for full-wipe capability.
QVGA Robe Touch Screen Display System
The QVGA Robe touch screen display gives full access to all fixture setup and diagnostic functions and is very intuitive to navigate.
Full Travel Frost
We are dedicated to equipping lighting designers with unparalleled tools that empower them to achieve their creative vision without constraints.
