iTetra2™

IP65

Once again, proving that our spider family are not afraid of the rain, the iTETRA2™ is totally happy to splash around!

The spectacular iTETRA2™ linear bar has joined the Robe iSERIES! The IP65-rated iTETRA2™ retains all the qualities and features of its highly successful indoor brother, adding Robe’s groundbreaking, self-managing, low-maintenance ingress protection technology, allowing outdoor use of this classic fixture by removing the threat of rain, dust, humidity, smoke or haze damage, even in the harshest conditions.

With identical DMX map, features and performance to TETRA2™, the outdoor iTETRA2™ can be used without having to learn a new fixture! The ingenious ingress protection system is specifically designed to allow standard maintenance and preparation procedures without any additional tools, so maintenance work can be conducted on-site.

The onboard patented RAINS™ (Robe Automatic Ingress Neutralization System) manages humidity, temperature and pressure control. The active monitoring system automatically removes any moisture

detected within the fixture, providing constant monitoring to ensure peak performance.

Outdoor fixtures need to operate in extreme cold. iTETRA2™ contains an innovative POLAR+™ technology, a special standby mode with low power consumption, in which the fixture ́s sensors and communications channels remain active. When activated,

POLAR+™ automatically maintains an internal temperature level, giving instant operability down to minus 50 degrees centigrade!

iTETRA™ runs an ingenious Self Pressure Test to check internal pressure. This self-test, taking less than 3 minutes, provides an error message if gaskets or covers were not replaced correctly or locking screws tightened, ensuring maximum protection. Their lightweight aluminium alloy structure, provide a dust-free environment for the optics. This eliminates the need for frequent cleaning, routine maintenance, and UV damage to plastic parts.

By including NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology, you can access setup, diagnostic and performance features, even without power, directly from your mobile device using the Robe Com app.

With the identical ultra-tight 4° beam from each of the 18 pixels of the original indoor TETRA2™, the iTETRA2™ produces a bright, defined "sheet" of light, desired by Lighting Designers.

Seamless curtains of light can be constructed using several fixtures as the detailed design allows iTETRA2™ to be placed end to end on stage or truss, maintaining equal spacing between pixels. With the addition of two exclusive Robe patented MCFE™ – Multi-Coloured Flower Effects, the pixel-driven iTETRA2™ sets itself apart from others by projecting charismatic in-air animations.

Their homogenised beams, together with the smooth 11:1 zoom, provide; a wash out to 45°, a footlight, a wall graze or dynamic in-air effects with fast-paced sweeping movements. With our latest L3™ (Low Light Linearity) dimming system for an imperceptible fade to black, the 18-bit control provides ultra-smooth colour mixing across the full-colour spectrum.

Removing the need for distracting pre-use tilt calibration movement, our patented MAPS™ (Motionless Absolute Positioning System) allows the fixture to fully calibrate while remaining static - very useful when located within confined spaces.

An embedded Ethernet switch and a wide range of protocols (sACN, Art-Net or Kling-Net) allow a quick network installation and ease of control from media servers, DMX or the internal effects engine. Our REAP™ (Robe Ethernet Access Portal) allows access to fixture information and diagnostics over Ethernet Networks. Perfect for installations requiring remote centralised monitoring of fixture performance.

Innovations

DataSwatch™ - inbuilt virtual colour library

The DataSwatch™ inbuilt virtual colour library for Robe LED fixtures consists of up to 237 pre-programmed and calibrated colours and tones, allowing for rapid and accurate programming.

MCFE™ - Multi Coloured Flower Effect

The Robe patented MCFE™ – Multi-Coloured Flower Effect – creates sharp, multi-coloured spikes of light, that are fully rotatable in both directions, at variable speeds.

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.

RLCT™ - Robe lens coating technology

Just like with spectacles, our lens coating technology protects soft plastic lenses against surface scratches, that can even occur during cleaning when scrubbed repeatedly. Anti-static properties prevent dust build-up on the lenses, thus extending the period between maintenance cleaning.

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.

Tungsten Emulation

When selected, the luminaire will mimic the colour temperature of a tungsten lamp as you lower the output to produce that classic warm glow.

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.

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.

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.

MAPS™ - Motionless Absolute Positioning System

Pre-use pan and tilt calibration movement of a fixture can be distracting and sometimes difficult to achieve.

RAINS™ – Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System

The highly advanced patented RAINS™ (Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System) technology not only prevents ingress. It actively manages a fixture's internal microclimate removing internal moisture build-up caused by constant heating and cooling to provide maximum protection for electronics, revolutionising how outdoor fixtures are managed and protected.

POLAR+™

Outdoor fixtures need to operate in extreme cold. Therefore, Robe iSeries™ fixtures contain an innovative POLAR+™ technology - a special standby mode with low power consumption, in which the fixture's sensors and communications channels continue to function.
