Four fast shutter blades with smooth and precise movement in the new Robe BMFL Blade lighting fixture. Individually angled and positioned within a frame - which itself can rotate through 90 degrees, providing a sharp or soft, precisely repeatable, frame for the projected image. Producing a new series of fast-moving in-air effects through pre-programmed shape and movement sequences of the blades, gobo images can be trimmed or framed in a regular, triangular or trapezoid shape. Each pair of opposing blades can close to a complete blackout. Two gobo wheels – one rotating with six slot&lock gobo positions plus another with 8 static gobos can be combined with the Animation wheel to create numerous dynamic projected effects. Add all this to the already acclaimed Robe BMFL Blade features including: exceptionally smooth linear dimming, Imperceptible high definition color mixing, full width beam, Output in excess of 250,000 lux at 5 meters – and the Robe EMS (Electronic Motion Stabilizer) technology, enabling the Robe BMFL Blade to both move and stop faster and more precisely than any other fixture in its class - all this housed in a compact body profile weighing just 37.9 Kgs.
