MMX Blade™

The Robin MMX Blade is based on the new technology MMX discharge fixture, comparable output to 1200 W luminaires, the MMX Blade adds a framing shutter system into the optical path.

Light source

Philips MSR Platinum 35

Light output

26.141 lm

Zoom range

8,5° - 45,5°

Effects

rotating gobo wheel, Dual Animation Wheel, Framing Shutters module, 5-facet rotating prism

Four fast, smooth moving, shutter blades are individually angled and positioned within a frame which itself can rotate through 90 degrees. As well as providing a sharp or soft, precisely repeatable, frame for the projected image, the system produces a new series of fast moving in-air effects through pre-programmed blade shape and movement sequences. The MMX Blade includes many of the innovative features of the MMX including the Robe exclusive Hot-Spot lamp control feature that allows remote adjustment of flat beam uniformity or power beam hot-spot.
