What's new Everything.
Orbiter is an ultra-bright, tunable, and directional LED fixture from ARRI. All systems in Orbiter are completely new and designed with versatility in mind.
Orbiter's new six-color light engine delivers a wide-color gamut and outstanding color rendition across all color temperatures along with industry-leading, smooth dimming from 100 to 0%. With its changeable optics, Orbiter can transform into many different types of lampheads including projection (profile), open face, soft light, and other future possibilities. Orbiter is the most advanced luminaire ever created with exciting new technology packed into every fixture.
Features such as a fast processor, ample memory, expanded connectivity, built-in array of sensors, weatherproof housing, and many more make Orbiter a formidable machine. Orbiter's state-of-the-art technology and versatile design makes it an optimal lamphead for today and for the future with endless possibilities for updates, configurations, and enhancements.
Changeable Optics
Changeable optics is the core innovation in Orbiter. With a wide variety of optics to choose from, Orbiter transforms into the perfect light for your application without sacrificing beam, output, or color quality. The Quick Lighting Mount (QLM) in Orbiter allows for optics with vastly different properties to be connected to the fixture.
Open Face
The open face optics produce a high-output, directional beam of light in several different beam angles including 15 Degree, 30 Degree, and 60 Degree. Perfect for throwing light long distances or providing a broad swath of light.
ARRI Spectra
Six-Color Light Engine
Including a red, green, blue, amber, cyan, and lime LED, the ARRI Spectra six-color light engine translates into a wider color gamut, more accurate colors, and most importantly, higher color rendition across the entire CCT range.
Wide Gamut
Hues are precisely reproduced and the increased gamut allows for 15% more color possibilities when compared to previous ARRI light engines.
Ultra-High Color Rendering
Orbiter has a larger CCT range of 2,000 to 20,000 K with ultra-high color rendition across all color temperatures. Skin tones look amazing and natural.
Compact Light Engine
Cutting-edge LEDs that have never been used before in a luminaire and their arrangement creates a homogeneous color beam field with amazing brightness.
Color Sensor Mode
The new Color Sensor Mode in Orbiter will read the ambient color surrounding the fixture and reproduce the color with great accuracy.
Sheer Output
Immense brightness with full color tunability
Orbiter is an extremely bright and powerful, directional LED fixture with an output similar to that of the corresponding HMI systems. Orbiter's high, yet tunable, ARRI Spectra light engine output can create hard shadows with defined edges. This revolutionary light engine is 76 times smaller than the L10's light engine but produces the same power draw and greater output.
A dense arrangement of over 190 LEDs gives Orbiter a point source-like aperture while maintaining full-color tunability with a new six-color LED mixture. These cutting-edge LEDs have never been used before in a luminaire and the arrangement creates a homogeneous color-beam field with amazing brightness.
Technology Unleashed
A new era of digital lighting is truly upon us. Orbiter is the most technologically advanced luminaire ever to be created for image capture while maintaining superior color fidelity. With state-of-the-art electronics, Orbiter is able to perform more tasks than previous luminaires.
Electronics
Orbiter's processor is four times faster than the SkyPanel with 125 times more memory, setting the stage for extensive software features and updates in the future.
Dimming
Using a combination of three dimming techniques, Orbiter's cutting-edge electronics provide smooth dimming down to zero without color changes or jumps.
Power
Orbiter includes a lightweight internal power supply and a 3-pin XLR battery input for 48 V batteries.
Weatherproof
All of this technology comes in a weatherproof housing which means Orbiter can be used outdoors in rain, snow, and other inclement weather.
Powerful Software
Orbiter is able to take advantage of over five years of software development for the SkyPanel. Orbiter's new software called LiOS (Lighting Operating System) includes all the innovative and groundbreaking features from SkyPanel plus others, making Orbiter one of the most fully-featured luminaires on the market.
8 Color Modes
LiOS' eight-color modes are available including CCT, HSI, individual color, x/y coordinates, gel, source matching, lighting effects, and the new color sensor mode which measures ambient light and recreates it through Orbiter's output.
Favorites
Over 240 favorite colors or lighting effects can be stored in Orbiter. These favorites can be easily selected via an easy to use interface or via DMX.
Operational Modes
Orbiter offers three operational modes to optimize the fixture's performance for different applications. High color rendering mode provides the best color quality possible, high output mode generates the best brightness with slightly lower color rendition, while low noise mode creates a balance for quiet operation with decent output.
Additional Features
Other new features in LiOS include simplified DMX modes, optics recognition, multi-language support, custom boot screen, and many more still to come.
Removable Control Panel
Easy to use, powerful control
Redesigned from the ground up, the Orbiter control panel is an evolutionary step in light fixture control. Including a 4" full-color display, quick navigation buttons, and integrated sensors, the Orbiter control panel allows for easy use with a graphic user interface. Simplified menu structure and reimagined user interfaces provide one-glance operational views and uncluttered screens.
This intuitive design makes changing colors or finding a setting easier than ever before while still maintaining the powerful features Orbiter has to offer. In addition, the control panel is removable and can be used handheld with the aid of a 5 or 15 m (16.4 or 49.2') control panel cable.
Connectivity
Ready for today, prepared for tomorrow
Communication to and from a luminaire is crucial to create robust networks and dynamic control. Orbiter includes a full suite of input and output connectors which enable communication to the fixture in whatever way is required. With all these connectivity interfaces, Orbiter is not only ready for today's state-of-the-art communication but is also prepared for whatever the future might bring.
Full Suite of Sensors
A digital light of the future requires data. Orbiter is aware of the world around it with a variety of sensors that allow for advanced operations, smart automations, and a stream of metadata. All these sensors make for a better user experience and increased control over the fixture. Available data improve workflow also in post-production and service.
Color Sensor
Orbiter includes an integrated color sensor for measuring and matching the ambient light.
3-Axis Accelerometer
A 3-axis accelerometer allows for sensing the pan, tilt, and roll of the fixture. This data will provide future meta data for special effects work or optimizing fixture performance.
Magnetometer
A magnetometer gives Orbiter's heading based on the direction the fixture is pointing in the real world.
Ambient Light Sensor
An ambient light sensor located on the control panel will automatically dim the brightness of the control panel display based on surrounding light intensity.
Heat Sensors
Heat sensors located throughout the interior of the Orbiter will keep the LEDs and electronics at exactly the right temperature.
Large Range of Applications
Orbiter's wide range of optics and features allows the fixture to be used in a great variety of applications without compromising quality. Markets such as film and television production, broadcast, theater and live entertainment, and even still photography are just some examples of environments where Orbiter excels.
