Followspot
What are they?
Followspots feature optical adjustment and focusing systems similar to those of Profile Spotlights. However, they differ in their mounting system, as they are installed on dedicated followspot stands that allow smooth, balanced movement of the lighting fixture.
Unlike Profile spotlights, Followspots are specifically designed for direct manual aiming and continuous tracking by a lighting operator.
Applications
They are used for long-distance accent lighting when manual control by an operator is required to follow performers moving across the stage, particularly when their movements cannot be anticipated.
Followspots are commonly used at major concerts and live events, as well as at the rear of opera house auditoriums, to keep lead performers illuminated throughout the performance.

Hardware
La qualità di un proiettore professionale nasce da una progettazione attenta, dalla scelta dei materiali e dalla cura di ogni componente.
Per la Serie Hyperion abbiamo sviluppato soluzioni costruttive che combinano robustezza, precisione meccanica, qualità ottica e affidabilità nel tempo.
Dalle sorgenti LED alle lenti, dai meccanismi di regolazione alla gestione termica e alle connessioni elettriche, ogni elemento è progettato per rispondere alle esigenze dei professionisti del teatro e della televisione, anche nelle condizioni di utilizzo più impegnative.
The simplicity of traditional control, with the benefits of LED technology.
The Hyperion Series Followspots are available with a 5600 K Cool White (CW) LED light source and a manual colour changer, allowing operators to change the colour of the light using colour filters (gels).
This follows the same principle as traditional discharge-lamp followspots: the light source produces white light, while colour filters allow the operator to select different colours during the performance. A familiar operating method that keeps colour control directly in the hands of the operator.
Upon request, we can equip the fixture with alternative LED light sources, ranging from fixed white at different colour temperatures to Tunable White and multicolour configurations. The latter allow colours to be created by mixing individual LED channels, eliminating the need for colour gels.
The light source and its associated control functions are selected according to the specific requirements of each project.
The materials are carefully selected to withstand the demands of professional use, with surfaces free from sharp edges and a non-reflective matt black finish, achieved through epoxy powder coating for excellent resistance to impacts and scratches.
The lighting fixtures feature a high-strength extruded aluminium housing, combined with reinforced engineering polymer components, ensuring durability, lightweight construction and reliability in professional use.

La qualità della luce nasce dall’ottica.
Utilizziamo lenti in vetro borosilicato di elevata qualità, un materiale caratterizzato da un’eccellente stabilità termica e particolarmente adatto alle esigenze dell’illuminazione professionale.
L’accurata progettazione del sistema ottico permette di ottenere un fascio luminoso intenso, omogeneo e privo di effetti evidenti di pixelatura, garantendo una distribuzione regolare della luce sull’intera superficie illuminata.
Particolare attenzione è dedicata anche al montaggio delle lenti, installate su supporti distanziati che favoriscono la circolazione dell’aria e contribuiscono alla gestione termica dell’apparecchio.
Una scelta progettuale che unisce qualità ottica, efficienza e affidabilità nel tempo.
Il protagonista, sempre in luce.
I seguipersona della Serie Hyperion permettono di regolare l’ampiezza e la messa a fuoco del fascio luminoso, adattando la proiezione alla distanza di utilizzo e all’area da illuminare.
La regolazione dello zoom consente di variare la dimensione del fascio entro l’intervallo previsto dal modello, passando da un’inquadratura luminosa più stretta a una più ampia. La messa a fuoco permette di definirne i contorni, ottenendo una proiezione nitida oppure un passaggio più morbido tra luce e ombra.
Durante lo spettacolo, questi controlli aiutano l’operatore ad adattare la luce al soggetto e alla scena, mantenendo l’attenzione del pubblico sull’artista.
Gli intervalli di regolazione e le funzioni disponibili variano secondo il modello e sono riportati nelle relative schede tecniche.
Per garantire prestazioni affidabili e preservare la durata delle sorgenti LED, abbiamo sviluppato un sistema di gestione termica che combina dissipazione passiva e ventilazione attiva regolabile.
Il raffreddamento passivo sfrutta un sistema ad alta efficienza con tecnologia heat pipe e ampie aperture di ventilazione, mentre le ventole, con tre modalità di funzionamento selezionabili, permettono di adattare il raffreddamento alle esigenze operative e acustiche dell’ambiente.
Particolarmente importante nei teatri e negli studi televisivi, questa flessibilità consente di contenere la rumorosità quando necessario, senza rinunciare alla corretta gestione della temperatura.
Un sistema di sensori monitora costantemente le condizioni termiche del proiettore, intervenendo automaticamente sulla velocità delle ventole e, quando necessario, sulla corrente di alimentazione del LED, per prevenire il surriscaldamento.
I livelli di rumorosità sono stati oggetto di misurazioni acustiche condotte in collaborazione con il Politecnico di Milano.
I risultati, espressi in dBA e riferiti a specifiche condizioni di funzionamento, sono disponibili nelle schede tecniche dei singoli modelli.
Connessioni professionali e massima praticità d’installazione.
L’alimentatore universale a riconoscimento automatico della tensione (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz) consente di utilizzare i proiettori in differenti contesti impiantistici.
Per l’alimentazione adottiamo connettori professionali Neutrik® powerCON TRUE1 TOP, con ingresso e uscita passante, che permettono di collegare più apparecchi in cascata, nel rispetto dei limiti elettrici dell’impianto.
La gestione del segnale DMX avviene attraverso connettori XLR a 5 poli, In/Out, secondo gli standard dell’illuminazione professionale, consentendo il collegamento e il controllo di più proiettori.
Soluzioni progettate per semplificare il cablaggio, velocizzare le operazioni di installazione e garantire affidabilità nelle applicazioni teatrali e televisive.
I dati relativi ad assorbimento elettrico, fattore di potenza e caratteristiche dei collegamenti sono disponibili nelle schede tecniche dei singoli modelli.
Software and advanced features
The quality of a professional lighting fixture depends not only on its optical performance, but also on the precision and versatility of its lighting control capabilities.
Drawing on our experience and ongoing collaboration with lighting designers and entertainment industry technicians, we have developed a range of advanced features for the Hyperion Series, designed to expand creative possibilities and simplify everyday operations.
From exceptionally smooth dimming to halogen lamp emulation, from advanced colour management to optimised light output, every feature addresses a specific requirement of professional lighting.
Every production has different requirements: sometimes adjusting light intensity is enough, while other situations demand full control over every fixture parameter.
For this reason, we have developed multiple selectable DMX personalities for the Hyperion Series, allowing users to choose the number of channels and level of control best suited to each application.
From basic configurations that simplify programming and minimise console channel usage, to more advanced modes that provide individual control over intensity, colour temperature, colour mixing and other parameters.
Depending on the LED light source, different 8-bit and 16-bit control modes are available to meet the requirements of theatres, television studios and professional productions.
Compatibility with DMX512 and RDM protocols also enables seamless integration into professional lighting control systems and remote management of supported fixture parameters.
A flexible system designed to ensure that technology adapts to the needs of the lighting designer, not the other way around.
In theatre lighting, even the smallest change in intensity can help create an atmosphere, follow a movement or highlight a key moment in a performance.
For this reason, we have developed an exceptionally smooth and precise dimming system for the Hyperion Series, capable of adjusting light output from 100% down to complete blackout, without visible stepping or sudden changes in intensity.
Through the different DMX personalities, users can select 8-bit or 16-bit control. The latter provides significantly higher resolution, particularly noticeable during slow fades and at very low light levels.
A dedicated algorithm also helps maintain a consistent colour temperature throughout dimming in standard operating modes, preserving the colour quality of the light across the entire transition.
**Precise, gradual control, allowing every subtle change in light to become part of the visual storytelling
In theatre lighting, it is not only the amount of light that matters, but also how its intensity changes during a fade.
For this reason, we have developed a range of selectable dimming curves for the Hyperion Series, allowing lighting designers to customise the dimming response according to the requirements of each production and their creative preferences.
From linear response to quadratic and gamma curves, as well as a dedicated halogen emulation curve, each setting defines a different relationship between the control signal and the resulting light output.
The most advanced versions offer up to six selectable dimming curves, allowing users to choose the most suitable response for different applications.
Flawless light, even on camera.
During video recording, the operating frequency of LED light sources can interfere with camera settings, causing unwanted flicker or banding in the footage, even when the light appears perfectly stable to the naked eye.
For this reason, we have equipped the Hyperion Series with an adjustable LED PWM frequency system, allowing the light source to be adapted to different filming conditions.
Through the Output Frequency function, users can select the most suitable frequency according to camera specifications and recording settings, helping to reduce or eliminate flicker.
A particularly valuable feature for television studios, film productions, live broadcasts and recorded stage performances, where lighting quality must be preserved both on stage and on camera.
Silence is part of the performance.
In theatre, even the noise of a cooling fan can interfere with a particularly intense moment, disturbing the audience, performers or musicians.
For this reason, we have developed an intelligent fan control system for the HYPERION Series, allowing cooling performance to be adapted to the acoustic and operational requirements of each environment.
Three operating modes can be selected through the software:
AUTO: Fan speed is automatically adjusted according to the LED light source temperature, optimising cooling performance.
STANDARD: Fans operate at their preset nominal speed.
SILENT: Fans operate at minimum speed to reduce noise levels. When necessary, the system automatically limits light output to prevent overheating.
These modes allow users to prioritise either light output or acoustic comfort, depending on the requirements of each production.
Ready for the next rental.
The reset and usage data monitoring functions simplify fixture management, particularly for rental companies and lighting service providers.
When a fixture returns from a rental, users can review its operating history and restore the factory settings, returning it to a known default configuration and preparing it for the next production.
