Robe Lighting has teamed up video surveillance experts Hanwha Techwin to offer a ‘Smart Light’ solution for stage performance and TV studio applications.

Robe Lighting employs over 600 people at its manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic and more than 100 people at its subsidiaries around the World. Its lighting solutions, which are exported via a worldwide distributor network, are used in concert halls, theatres and clubs, as well as at open area events in over 100 countries.

“Our BMFL FollowSpot is already extremely popular with directors, DJs and lighting engineers as it produces an astounding 250,000 lux at 5 metres and has a wide range zoom of 5° to 45° with precise focusing to ensure performers are always well lit,” said Pavel Němec, Global Marketing Manager for Robe Lighting. “With the option to mount an integrated Wisenet SNZ-6320 camera manufactured by Hanwa Techwin onto the head of the BMFL FollowSpot, operators are now able to take advantage of our Smart Light solution to view live or review recorded high definition images of exactly what the light is focused on.”

The 2 Megapixel 32x zoom Wisenet SNZ-6320 is a true Day/Night box camera with an infra cut filter (IRC) which, together with a high performance Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature, ensures high quality images can be captured even in the most demanding of lighting conditions.

“The Wisenet SNZ-6320 is ideally suited for integration with our BMFL FollowSpot,” said Pavel Němec. “By utilising an SDK provided by Hanwha Techwin, it has been possible for us to synchronise the powerful zoom capabilities of the SNZ-6320 and our FollowSpot.”
