Richard Belliveau Tears into the XT-1 at LDI 2010

Check it out, The master mind behind Barco/High Ends Systems, Mr. Richard Belliveau was front and center at the Barco/High End booth at LDI tearing a Intellaspot XT-1 fixture apart! I really have to hand it to Mr. Belliveua and Barco/High End on this.  Not only is the fixture super easy to take apart and service, but the developer and genius behind the mover was right there giving them demo him self!

Thanks Mr. Belliveua!

Barco Starts Shipping New intellaspot XT-1 Moving Light

Not to long ago, Barco/High End Systems announced their latest moving light, the intellaspot XT-1.  Good news, Barco/High End Systems has just begun shipping the fixture to customers.  Here’s more info from Barco’s updated press release:

Digital and automated lighting pioneer Barco/High End Systems announced today that it is now shipping the intellaspot XT-1, an innovative, full-featured hard-edged moving yoke light offering a new benchmark in a price/performance ratio.  The intellaspot XT-1 features remarkable innovations in optics, lamp configuration, high lumen output, energy efficiency, zoom range and more for a highly economical price.

The intellaspot XT-1 features a powerful optical system, producing an extreme 20,000 lumens output from the 850w HID lamp, while also providing clear projections with a large zoom range of 11°- 55°.  It features a fast mechanical iris, variable soft edge, and electronic strobing, in addition to smooth CMY color mixing and variable CTO.  A fixed color wheel allows instant color choices via easily exchangeable dichroic filters.  Two rotating Lithopattern® wheels, each with seven patterns plus open, provide a large number of output patterns and images.  The output can be further enhanced with a rotating prism and an animation wheel.

Built on an entirely new platform, the intellaspot XT-1 is an exceptionally energy-efficient fixture that conforms to modern “greening” principles.  A battery-controlled full color LCD menu system enables fixture addressing without having to power up the unit.  Low ambient noise, Remote Device Management (RDM), Art-Net, and wireless DMX capabilities make the intellaspot XT-1 the professional choice for a wide variety of applications.
