Fulfills real industry need
Featuring a sophisticated yet pragmatic design, the Proteus Hybrid gives designers the freedom to utilize the latest technology at any event, indoors or out. Compact, robust and budget friendly, Elation’s first ever IP-rated discharge-lamp moving head series provides solutions to real industry needs. Outdoor events bring their own set of logistical challenges and with Proteus Elation have eliminated the need for costly shrouds and weatherproof coverings while doing away with the compromise that often comes with using IP-rated LED units. Featuring a rugged, multi-environmental IP65 design, the Proteus Hybrid also houses an innovative internal thermal cooling system that keeps the fixture cool even under extreme conditions.
Bright, efficient beam that zooms in all modes
Along with the ruggedness to withstand the elements, the Proteus Hybrid is a versatile luminaire that does not compromise on features. Using the new Philips™ 21R 470W lamp and housing an advanced optical system with auto-focus, the fixture produces a bright beam that can zoom from 3.0° - 40° in spot mode, 2.0° to 30° in beam mode, and 8.0° to 55° in wash mode. The Proteus Hybrid’s beam can be manipulated via 8- facet and 6-way linear rotating prisms.
Professional design features
Color design features include full CMY color mixing plus CTO color mixing for greater color temperature control. A 14-slot dichroic color wheel has been added for even greater color choice. Eight rotating replaceable gobos and 14 static-fixed gobos provide for a host of graphic effects while a full animation system offers even greater design possibilities. The full 360° bi-directional animation effect wheel brings graphics to life, allowing for the creation of dramatic animated effects such as undulating waves, rising flames, driving rain, drifting clouds, foliage, and more.
The Proteus Hybrid features a superior interface with control support from DMX, Art-Net, sACN and RDM protocols and internal program macros are included for quick programming. Elation’s internal E-FLY™ wireless DMX transceiver is also included for quicker setups with less cable mess.
Proteus is another example of Elation’s mission to offer the best value:performance ratio fixtures on the market. Designed to unleash a designer’s creative vision, Proteus fixtures are built for visionary lighting designers who refuse to compromise, allowing their vision to be unbound by the elements.
