Jands Light Hamer Hall With ETC, Vari*Lite & Chroma-Q


The AUD$135.8 million redevelopment of Hamer Hall was part of a larger revitalisation project for Arts Centre Melbourne and the first step in the Southbank Cultural Precinct Redevelopment plan. The project was overseen by theatre consultants Schuler Shook, and designed by architects Ashton Raggatt McDougall.

Full Hall Opening Night

The heritage listed Arts Centre Melbourne is the largest and busiest performing arts complex in the southern hemisphere; Hamer Hall is the concert hall within the centre. Home to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Hamer Hall also hosts a wide variety of performance events throughout the year, from theatre to rock and roll.

Jands supplied much of the venue’s lighting including 20 Vari-Lite VLX’s, 28 ETC Desire D40 Vivid LED Pars, and over 50 ETC Source Fours.

Adrian Sterritt, head of lighting at the Melbourne venue, says his team chose the VLX Wash luminaires following a shoot-out between the Vari-Lite fixtures and other brands.

“We were looking for a number of aspects from the lighting fixtures; speed, quality of light, operation modes,” says Adrian. “The VLX Wash zoom was better, its quality of light was similar to what we were used to, and in terms of colours we wanted to produce, it was more suited to our desired colour palette. There was also an environmental aspect to the project so ‘green’ products were favourable.”

One of the key decision drivers for the Hamer Hall technical team when choosing lighting fixtures for their new venue was the ability of the VLX Wash to colour match with conventional luminaires as Sterritt reports, “Incoming LD’s love them. They have a lot of punch, especially with the saturated LED colours, however they also produce the more subtle pastel hues that we require in a theatre environment.”

The ETC Desire D40 Vivid LED Pars were chosen primarily for their colour range which according to Adrian more suits the theatre environment palette.

“It’s a bit more subtle with the pastel shades,” he added. “You can get a wider range of colours from them than your standard RGB fixtures which we felt were a bit too rock’n’roll. They’re good although we don’t use them all the time – when we go into full rock’n’roll mode we just use the VLX’s. For the more subtle work they’re great.”

Not only do the Desire D40 Vivid luminaires give Adrian the broadest colour range for spectrally-balanced saturated and tinted light, they feature no-noise, fan-free convection-cooling for acoustically sensitive installations such as Hamer Hall.

The ETC Source Fours supplemented the stock already owned by the Arts Centre.

“The ETC Source Four is a standard tool in performance and architectural use across the globe,” remarked Adrian. “They have a wide range of useful accessories and lenses plus they are very reliable.”

Ten Chroma-Q Color Force 72 LED battens were installed to ensure smooth and even coverage across large areas. With their smooth washing effect, even colour mixing, and lack of hotspots, the Chroma-Q Color Force 72 LED battens are ideal for multiple types of applications, ranging from subtle hues for theatre and opera lighting to vibrant effects for live events.

NEWS – Robe launches new products at Prolight+Sound


The Robin Pointe

Robin Pointe
This is a new hugely dynamic beam, spot and wash fixture from Robe – a small, super-bright and very fast ‘signature’ unit with an intense and sharp parallel beam …. plus a host of features making it a truly unique and versatile lightsource.

These include a 5 – 20 degree zoom with full focus control, variable frost, two separate prism effects, a rotating and a static gobo wheel and inbuilt colour wheel.

The lightsource is a 280W Osram discharge lamp making the Pointe a dynamic, fixture for using to create WOW factors on a large and small scale whilst also embracing Robe’s ‘smaller, lighter, brighter’ and more eco-friendly philosophy.

Special characteristics include phenomenal speed and an impressive list of additional creative features like the zoom, linear and circular rotating prisms, rotating and static gobo wheels … all of which set it above the rest!

A custom developed homogeniser works with the rotating gobos to spread the light evenly and achieve optimum projection quality. A variable frost effect instantly transforms the output into that of an efficient wash light.

Robe gets to The Pointe in delivering a robustly built, reliable fixture weighing just 15. 2 Kgs to meet LD’s wish-lists!

Robin MiniMe

Robin MiniMe

Bar, club and retail lighting has taken another step into the digital future. The MiniMe is an effects lighting luminaire with the addition of full video output.

This small, neat, fast moving fixture is LED driven with 20,000hour lifetime source.

Colours, Gobos and beam shapes are all digitally generated by the on-board micro media server.  Custom artwork, still photographs and video can also be simply uploaded for projection, whilst live video can be streamed through the HDMI input.

Robin MMX BLADE
Robin MMX Blade

Robe presents an amazingly bright 1200-series equivalent lightsource utilising its popular MMX optical technology, complete with a framing shutter system of four fast ‘blades’ which can be individually positioned and angled plus or minus 45 degrees, with the whole Blade module capable of plus / minus 90 degree rotation.

This allows precise shaping and fine-spotting of specific areas on a stage, set or performer. This is a crucial feature for all types of theatre and television productions.

The Blade system can also produce fast, funky aerial effects by being programmed into quick-movement chases and sequences.

An animation wheel enables the projection of dramatic fire, water, flame and other theatrical / environmental effects.

It has further innovative ROBIN technology features like hot-spot control, rotating gobos, CMY colour mixing, variable CTO, iris, rotating prism, etc.

Robin CycFX

Robin CycFX

This is a one metre linear strip that can be tilted 270 degree featuring an array of high powered RGBW LEDs for fabulously smooth colour mixing, with a zoom option that opens the spread out from 8 to a whopping 53 degrees!

The ultra-fast, motorized tilt movement allows the creation of spectacular ‘wave’ effects along a line of fixtures.

Individual control of each LED makes the fixture map-able, and enables multiple CycFXs to be built in to a variety of matrix designs.

The unit is supplied with many inbuilt pixel effects and pre-programmed sequences.

Pre-selected Colour Macros also help to make it an exceptionally quick and easy unit to set up and integrate into any lightshow.

Integrated tungsten whites are set at 2700 and 3200K and the CycFX comes complete with Robe’s popular tungsten emulation, including theatrical grade dimming and red-shift effect.

Wireless control is an optional accessory.

Robin Cyclone
Robin Cyclone

This innovative effects moving head product has an integrated fan in the centre of the head surrounded by a ring of 24 x high powered RGBW multichip LEDs.

There is a zoom of 8 to 63 degrees on the LEDs .. and a strong central airflow that can be combined with fog and haze to assist with creating the best quality atmospheric effects.

The vari-speed fan can be independently DMX controlled … starting from a very low RPM and is a perfect complement to fog and hazers in any ‘live’ environment – from clubs to concerts  – needing fine-tuned fog / haze flows, from a mere wisp of smoke to a full-on immersive low cloud coverage!

Each LED is individually controlled and can be pixel mapped for the creation of eye-catching colour, rainbow, strobe etc. effects.

The Cyclone is also perfect for lighting and cooling performers from a neat ‘footlights’ position and can also produce dramatic ‘hair-blowing’ and ‘smoke-through-the-fan’ effects.

The unit also benefits from all the features from Robe’s massively popular LEDWash series.

Fireproof


House curtain on fire

House curtain on fire

There was a recent fire at a New Zealand Theatre and according to the News the fire was caused by curtains on stage catching light. This has me thinking about fire proofing and how much of the soft fabrics that we use in theatre are safe. Often you will find that theatre curtains from reputable companies like Jands have been fireretarded. But have you recently checked all your drapes etc that you are using. Do they have a tag on them stating that they have been treated, to what standard and what date they were treated?  All drapes in places of public entertainment must comply with Building Code Australia (BCA) Specification C1.10. It’s your responsibility to ensure your drapes meet these specifications. For theatrical drapes, current BCA Regulations require compliance with AS 1530 Part 3 (pertaining to spread of flame and smoke developed indices) and  compliance with AS 1530 Part 2 pertaining to the flammability index. Please note that fabrics used for non-curtain wall treatments now require compliance with other standards.
As we know in the industry there is a god chance that drapes may come into contact with items with high temperatures – lights, smoke machines etc., So you have to take precautions with your drapes.

So what should you look for when purchasing drapes for your venue. You need to make sure the are fire retarded,There are several different fire retarding options out there and these are:

  • NFR: Not Flame Retarded
  • FR: Flame Retarded
  • NDFR: Non-durable Flame Retarded
  • DFR: Durable Flame Retarded
  • IFR: Inherently Flame Retarded

So all venue drapes should have clear labelling indicating what category of flame retardation has been applied, and what regulatory standards have been met by the use of flame retardant.

Now lets us look at these 5 types of flame retarding.
NFR – this means there is no flame resisting properties at all. Therefore not good for theatre.

FR – this indicates that the fabric is to some extent flame retardant. This could be achieved by applying chemicals during its manufacturing process. But this fabric is most likely not going to be flame retardant for its life. You are going to need to re-apply the chemical many times during the life of the material. This frequency could be around once a year.
NDFR – again it means that the fabric has been treated with chemicals. However these chemicals can be removed by getting the material wet or washing it. They can be dry-cleaned however.
DFR – fabrics with this rating offer retardation for the life of the fabric.. There are conditions that might affect this so regular testing is a good idea for these fabrics.
IFR – this type of fabric has fibres that are inherently resist the effects of fire.This is instead of being a chemical retardation process. These are great fabrics to use in the theatre environment. Especially close to lanterns or other heat sources ( Stage manager’s maybe)

Now note that these fabrics are not fireproof but fire retarded. That means they will burn, but not immediately. The slower the burn the more time to evacuate and bring the fire under control compare to fabrics that have no flame resisting properties.

So checking you fire-retardant status should become part of your regular maintenance routine. If you have no tags on your fabric that states the standard and compliance it is best to assume they are not protected and you should do something as soon as possible.

When you think about it, you should look at the venue as whole in regards to fire-proofing. Is the set fireproofed? Are the staging units fire-proofed? How about the costumes? THere is so much that at times needs looking at in regards to fire safety. I will be writing more on the topic.

Germany – Philips Vari-Lite is offering visitors to Prolight + Sound Frankfurt the opportunity to experience first hand the creative potential of the extremely bright output new VL3015, VL3015LT and VL3515 luminaries.

new vari lite

Also on show will be the newly released software for the popular VLX Wash luminaire. This enables individual cell control of the seven powerful 120-watt RGBW LED light engines inside. Sparked by the success seen in the VLX3 Wash, the software update is applicable for all existing VLX fixtures and now gives lighting designers the creative freedom to deliver stunning multi-coloured effects with unique output capabilities, easily programmed from any lighting controller.

“Lighting designers really loved the individual LED cell control feature of the new VLX3 Wash and began asking for it to be available in the original VLX Wash,” explains Brad Schiller, product marketing manager for Philips Vari-Lite. “The new software means designers can use all seven light engines as one, or operate each one independently. This enables users to create a plethora of dynamic chases and exciting looks, both on the front of the fixture and in the aerial beams.

“In addition we’re delighted to be exhibiting our new VL3015, VL3015LT and VL3515 luminaires, which deliver a great range of professional lighting products to designers and specifiers featuring all the creative tools they are looking for,” continues Schiller.

The VL3015LT Spot luminaire provides an unprecedented 42,000 lumens of output and also offers an unmatched 10:1 zoom optics system. It comes complete with CYM colour mixing, a variable CTO wheel, two five-position colour wheels, three gobo/effects wheels, a beam size iris, a separate dimmer, ultra-fast strobe mechanisms and a standard palette of gobos, effects and colours.

In addition the VL3015LT Spot contains an independent rotating and indexing 3-facet prism as well as an independent frost glass. The zoom range of 6° to 60° allows for use in a multitude of applications from stadiums to theatres and an optional handle attachment allows the fixture to be used as manually positioned followspot while retaining DMX control of all other functions.

Also using the double-ended Osram 1500W lamp, the VL3015 and VL3515 Spot luminaires feature a 6:1 zoom optics system along with CYM colour mixing, a six-position colour wheel, variable CTO colour temperature correction, gobo/effects wheels, and ultra-fast strobe mechanisms.

“The VL3515 Spot luminaire has an added feature of a four-blade shutter mechanism that allows the blades to be operated independently or in unison for a clear and crisp image,” continues Schiller. “Both luminaires also house standard dual reflectors that allow users to choose between either a peaked or flat field beam. In the peaked beam, the fixtures provide 27,000 lumens of output, and in the flat field beam they both provide an output of 22,000 lumens. The reflectors are easily changed, and whichever one is not chosen rides securely inside the luminaire on a specially designed mount.”

“The new VLX software and the ultra-bright VL3015LT are definite game changers, that will easily enhance the multifarious types of productions that happen worldwide,” concludes Schiller. “We are really looking forward to showing them off to the visitors at Prolight + Sound, which is held at the Messe exhibition centre in Frankfurt from 10-13 April. You can find us in Hall 11 on stand no D73.”
