impression X5 Compact
The GLP impression X5 Compact uses 7 powerful 40 Watt RGBL LEDs to give an incredible output with increased color gamut.
GLP’s new iQ.Gamut calibration algorithm ensures the impression X5 Compact creates clean white points with CRI 90 at 6,500 K and the ability to switch to other fixed color temperatures instantly, all calibrated exactly to the black body line.
With new super-fast zoom mechanics, the impression X5 Compact offers a 16:1 range running from 3.6° to 66° with homogenous light distribution across its entire range.
A new front face with a circular design offers a fresh modern look, a round aperature and has been designed to include geometric patterns for great looking Pixel mapping effects.
The impression X5 Compact comes with an extensive feature package, including a virtual color wheel with 64 referenced LEE Filters, a new Color Quality Control, Magenta / Green Correction, a Tungsten Simulation and Effect Channel and a double layer effect option.
Featuring GLP’s trademark baseless design, the impression X5 Compact weighs just 7.5 kg / 16.6 lbs. Its design also allows static front accessories to be attached.
The impression X5 Compact can be controlled via DMX, ArtNet or sACN and can be set up using Near Field Control.
The iQ.Gamut algorithm offers a selection of precisely reproduced white points as default, focusing on maximum brightness or best color reproduction. Using the CTC channel, this value can be individually and precisely shifted exactly along the black body line. Using Magenta/Green correction, the white balance is done in seconds. This allows even the most difficult color objects such as different skin colors to be optimally illuminated.
Try that with a different Moving Head.
