Designed for use with Chavet Ovation Profile fixtures, the Chauvet Ovation HD 5 degree Lens is ready to hire now from IPS.

Catchily named in our hire inventory as the Chauvet Ovation HD Lens Tube 5deg, this is a great product. The tight beam angle created by this lens is great for precision lighting work, and gobo projection over long distances. The HD optics help ensure a sharp focused output of light every time. Compatible with LED source ellipsoidal reflector spotlight fixtures. Chauvet refer to these as ERS-style, we usually call them either profiles, or by the name of the product that ‘inspired’ this generation, the Source 4.

IPS also have an extensive hire stock of fixed profile lenses, which includes 14, 19. 26, 36, 50 degree options. Plus a 25-50deg Zoom.

The Chauvet HD lenes differ in two key ways from their ETC source 4 counterparts. These are that they are typically fitted with plastic lenses which are optimised for LED fixtures (hence the HD). The other bonus is that all fittings are made from stainless steel. This makes these lenses very durable and resilant to indoor or outdoor use. This makes them the perfect partner for the IPS stock of all IP-rated variants of the Ovation product range.

This Chauvet Ovation HD 5 degree Lens is compatible with all the IPS Ovation hire options including E-910FC IP, E-260WW IP and Reve E-3 IP fixtures.

This listing is actually for a Martin VDO Sceptron Linear Aligner, although we call them Linear Couplers. The Martin VDO Sceptron Linear Coupler (Aligner) is dsigned for Sceptron fixtures. It is ideal for use with our Martin Sceptron XB 1000mm IP LED Batten and Sceptron XB 320mm units. This coupler is also compatible with the older generation of Martin Sceptron VDO fixtures as well as the VDO Fatron series.

The technicality is that the coupler version actually is fitted with regular screws which aren’t very event friendly. As such the version we supply is officially called an aligner by Martin – but it is the same piece of hardware just with black thumbscrews rather than the screws.

The Linear Coupler features include:

• Slides into back-profile of VDO Sceptron or VDO Fatron and is locked into positon using thumbscrews
• Guarantees perfect alignment between adjacent fixtures
• Black finish that matches the metalwork of the Sceptron fixture

There isn’t really a huge amount to say about the Martin VDO Sceptron Linear Coupler (Aligner). You can find the specifications for these couplers and all Sceptron Accessories on the Martin website here. If you have any questions, or need some other rigging hardware that you can’t find on our website, please get in touch with our hire team to discuss your specific requirements.

Martin VDO Tube Smoked Diffuser 1000mm and the Martin VDO Tube Diffuser 1000mm.

If you are looking for the shorter version, IPS also has 320mm VDO Sceptron XB versions of both the fixtures and diffusers ready to hire. This is alongside the PowerPort drive units and much more.  You can find the official specifications for this item here on the Martin website.

Martin VDO Sceptron Tube Smoked Diffuser 320mm fits both the 320mm VDO Sceptron XB and the older 320mm Sceptron VDO 10 series fixtures.

The diffuser fits securely into the integrated mounting channel within the Sceptron body. IPS has a full range of diffuser options in stock to create lots of different looks from the Sceptron units. These include Round, Square and Tube options. They are typically available both in the standard white/opal finish or a smoked finish. The standard white/opal finish gives maximum brightness and widest viewing angles. However they will look like white bars when turned off. The smoked finish is more of a stealth option and helps the fixture blend into darker backgrounds, sets or truss setups. The trade off is that the output is slightly reduced with the smoked finish.

The Martin Sceptron XB 1000mm is an extremely compact and lightweight RGBW pixel-batten with a range of accessories allowing it to be configured to create a huge range of different looks.

This hire listing is for the standard 1000mm / one metre long version of the Sceptron XB. IPS also have the 320mm version in hire stock. If you are familiar with the previous generation of Martin VDO 10 Sceptron, this is a new and improved version. It is physically almost the same (slightly deeper) with the same range of filters and diffusers, and with some additional clever new rigging accessories. Cabling has been changed from the old BBD type to a new DCE type of Hybrid power & data cabling. Most importantly, the Sceptron XB is now RGBW, with significantly improved light output compared to the previous RGB generation. It is now also IP65 rated and can be used indoors or outdoors as required.

The RGBW LEDs at the heart of the Sceptron XB produce more than triple the output of VDO Sceptron 10. Higher output and higher light quality (CRI / TM-30 / TLCI) are achieved using Full Gamut Pixel Calibration. According to Martin, this guarantees pixel-to-pixel and fixture-to-fixture consistency, even when products from different manufacturing batches are being used together.

Power & Control

The Sceptron XB must be used with a Martin P3 PowerPort 2000 or PowerPort 500 driver to provide power & data. These are ready to hire from IPS, with the P3 PowerPort 2000 being a 1U Rackmount four output option, and the P3 Powerport 500 IP Rental being an IP rated truss mountable one output option.

Control is via Art-Net, sACN & Martin P3 control. The Sceptron XB can be used both as a lighting fixture and as a creative video element, and the P3 Mix channel enables switching and fading between ‘lighting mode’ and ‘video mode’. Fixture mapping and addressing is completed through P3 System Controller or Companion desktop or phone app.

Rigging & Diffusion / Filter Options

The Sceptron XB system can achieve many different looks partly due to the clever interchangeable diffuser lens options. IPS hire stock includes Tube, Tube Smoked, Round, Round Smoked, Square, Square Smoked and flat smoked options. IPS supply each Sceptron XB with a sliding bracket and lightweight half coupler. Also in hire stock are linear couplers and floor stand options.

Martin VDO Sceptron Round Diffuser 320mm fits both the 320mm VDO Sceptron XB and the older 320mm Sceptron VDO 10 series fixtures.

The diffuser fits securely into the integrated mounting channel within the Sceptron body. IPS has a full range of diffuser options in stock to create lots of different looks from the Sceptron units. These include Round, Square and Tube options. They are typically available both in the standard white/opal finish or a smoked finish. The standard white/opal finish gives maximum brightness and widest viewing angles. However they will look like white bars when turned off. The smoked finish is more of a stealth option and helps the fixture blend into darker backgrounds, sets or truss setups. The trade off is that the output is slightly reduced with the smoked finish.

Alternatives to the Martin VDO Sceptron Round Diffuser 320mm include the smoked round 320mm version. Other options include:

Martin VDO Square Smoked Diffuser 320mm and the Martin VDO Square Diffuser 320mm

Martin VDO Tube Smoked Diffuser 320mm and the Martin VDO Tube Diffuser 320mm

The zoom range allows for onsite flexibility, helping ensure a correctly sized and sharp focused output of light every time. Compatible with LED source ellipsoidal reflector spotlight fixtures.

IPS also have an extensive hire stock of fixed profile lenses, which includes 5, 14, 19. 26, 36, 50 degree options.

The Chauvet HD lenes differ in two key ways from their ETC source 4 counterparts. These are that they are typically fitted with plastic lenses which are optimised for LED fixtures (hence the HD). The other bonus is that all fittings are made from stainless steel. This makes these lenses very durable and resilant to indoor or outdoor use. This makes them the perfect partner for the IPS stock of all IP-rated variants of the Ovation product range.

This 25-50deg Zoom Lens is compatible with all the IPS Ovation hire options including E-910FC IP, E-260WW IP and Reve E-3 IP fixtures.
