MEGA bright with MEGA features and still compact. The MegaPointe from Robe.
OUR NEW REFERENCE POINT!
Our all-new MegaPointe elevates the original all-in-one fixture to a whole new level. Unleash your creativity using the bright sharp parallel beams, excellent gobo projection, precise movement, smooth CMY colour mixing and dimming plus a multitude of beam splitting, wash and shaping effects.
The Robe R&D team worked with Osram to provide a 470W lamp that aligns perfectly with the cutting edge optical system. This design provides a brilliant, crystal clear, razor-edged beam, adjustable from a punchy 1.8 out to a wide 42 degree zoom.
Both static and rotating (glass) gobos produce precision in-air effects or projected images with a sharp, high-contrast, flat field.
The newly designed effects engine can produce 12 varying beam and ‘flower’ effects. The beam can also be shaped using innovative shutter emulation, further creating a whole new blend of content & creativity.

MLP™ - Patented Multi-Level Prisms allow multiple rotating prisms to be "stacked" while retaining individual position, speed and direction of rotation control. With variable shape and size it creates unlimited dynamic, multi-level flower and beam effects, bringing a whole new collection of eye-popping creativity.
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.
The Robe EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) system is a technology for precise Pan and Tilt movements, which reduces vibrations from audio outputs, truss movement and sprung or suspended floors.
Robe's patented Slot & Lock system allows for easy and fast replacement of both rotatable and indexable gobos.
