Forte means Excellence, Speciality, Strength. Our FORTE® Fresnel wash lives up to its name! With revolutionary TRANSFERABLE ENGINE technology giving you the ability to maintain light quality, combined with a fixture packed full of specialist innovation, you have the ultimate high-output wash luminaire ready to lead you into the future.

Never be short of output again as the FORTE® Fresnel, with its classically soft beam, delivers powerful, intense washes of light without losing theatrical subtlety or control, providing the most velvety-smooth washes possible, fit to grace any stage.

Delivering powerful, intense washes of light without losing theatrical subtlety or control, the FORTE® Fresnel with its classically soft beam, provides the most velvety-smooth washes possible, fit to grace any stage.

Harnessing the immense strength of the engine through its 200mm front lens, the FORTE® Fresnel, with its wide-ranging 10:1 ratio 6°- 61-degree zoom, offers a viable alternative to traditional 2.5 KW and 4 KW HMI Fresnels, within its class-leading sub 40 Kg frame.

Ensuring high output big statement washes, the TE™ 1.000W XP (Xtra Performance) White 6.700 K LED Transferable Engine generates a blistering 90.200 lumens. With the FORTE® Fresnel outputting 40.500 lumens (integrating sphere) from the front of the fixture, you have unsurpassed power and exceptional beam quality.

Our revolutionary self-referencing, data-capturing engines, easily changed within five minutes, are all designed, developed and manufactured within our factory (Robe patented technology). The L70/B50 ratings of 50.000 hours and 4-Year, 20.000-hour warranty assure longevity.

Maintaining Robe’s reputation for exceptional colour mixing, the CMY system provides beautifully smooth colour transitions from the subtlest pastels to the brashest saturates. Combined with two colour wheels, CRI 80 and 90 filters, and a variable CTO from 3.000 - 6.700 K, you have total FORTE® Fresnel colour finesse.

The FORTE® Fresnel has unsurpassed levels of beam control, including medium and light frosts; RotaScrim™ graduated filter with position control, +/- 180° rotation and edge colour correction; and the rapid 4Door™ internal barndoor system for accurate individual leaf control and +/- 90° module rotation to ensure maximum flexibility.

FORTE® Fresnel comfortably operates within any noise-sensitive environment, as it features specialised noise-dampening engineering and an array of fan control options. AirLOC™ (Less Optical Cleaning) technology greatly reduces the level of airborne particles drawn over the optical elements, improving light quality and time between routine maintenance.

For film and television work, our Cpulse™ flicker-free software is ideally suited for the latest camera systems, removing any on-screen flicker. The ChromaTint™ dedicated plus and minus green control channel simplifies picture control.

For theatrical suitability, our advanced L3™ Low Light Linearity dimming, for ultra-smooth fade to black, in combination with lamp size-specific Tungsten Emulation, provide seamless integration with traditional lighting rigs.

EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) technology for instant stop and hysteresis elimination removes unwanted fixture tremble usually associated with larger fixtures.

FORTE® Fresnel has a comprehensive protocol suite; USITT DMX 512, RDM, ArtNet, MA Net, MA Net 2, and sACN; REAP™ (Robe Ethernet Access Portal) for direct communication over Ethernet networks; Epass for maintained network connectivity; CRMX Wireless DMX control is available on request. These allow easy integration into any control network.

Innovations

TE™ – Robe’s Transferable LED Engines

The TE™ technology addresses the problem of performance longevity of ageing LEDs by making the exchange of the engine a simple procedure that can be carried out in just a few minutes. But transferable means so much more than replaceable!

Cpulse™ – Pulse Width Modulation Control

Cpulse™ is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control system for luminaires that allows you to select and fine-tune the LED driving frequency to ensure no flicker will be visible on any camera system.

Robe NFC controller and app

The Robe COM application is an app based on NFC (Near Field Communication). It can be either used to access to fixture’s settings of our NFC-based navigation display systems as well as reading out data of our TE™ Transferable Engines.

RotaScrim™ – Graduated Scrim Control

Found in our wash lights, our RotaScrim™ control feature gives you the ability to remove those distracting “hot spots” from the beam where the distance of the illuminated surface is closer to the fixture. By applying the graduated scrim filter, this can easily be removed and changed into an even flat field.

4Door™ – Internal Barndoors

Robe barndoors operate the same way as a conventional 4 leaf barndoor. The quick, accurate internal 4Door™ barndoor system provides individual position control of the 4 “leafs” and +/- 90° rotation of the complete module assembly.

ECC™ – Edge Colour Correction

The edge colour correction sets Robe wash moving heads aside from other fixtures by providing the ability to shift the edge of the beam to either the red or blue end. This feature allows more or less definition of the internal barn doors cut, as you alter the beam.

MCE™ – Split and multicolour effects

Robe offers unique split- or multi colour effects in two ways on our profiles and spot fixtures to add a whole new blend of creativity to your designs!

EMS™ – Electronic Motion Stabiliser

The Robe Electronic Motion Stabiliser is a technology for exact Pan and Tilt movements and reduces vibrations from audio outputs, truss movement and sprung or suspended floors.

L3™ – Low Light Linearity System

The L3™ Low Light Linearity System produces imperceptible, ultra-smooth fades to black.

REAP™ – Robe Ethernet Access Portal

The Robe Ethernet Access Portal allows to access internal data from a networked fixture, viewed as a web page, addressable via the fixtures network IP.

GDTF – General Device Type Format

The General Device Type Format creates a unified definition for exchange of data for the operation of intelligent luminaries, such as moving lights. The file format is human readable and developed using open source formats.

MagFrost™

There is no need to be stuck with frosts supplied with the fixture! Robe’s MagFrost™ magnetic paddle system provides you with quickly exchangeable frosts, enabling you to select those most suitable for your production.

QVGA Robe Touch Screen Display System

The QVGA Robe touch screen display gives full access to all fixture setup and diagnostic functions and is very intuitive to navigate.

airLOC™

Our AirLOC™ (Less Optical Cleaning) technology greatly reduces the level of airborne particles drawn over the optical elements.

Epass™

Robe lighting’s Epass™ provides Ethernet in/out connections with a pass-through switch that sustains Ethernet integrity when the fixture has no power to automatically maintain network connectivity.
