The Creamsource Vortex4 (Model # K-CSV-4-ESS) is a powerful and versatile 1x1 LED hard panel designed for professional lighting in the film and TV industry. Equipped with advanced RRGBBW (Red, Deep Red, Green, Blue, Royal Blue, White) LEDs, this fixture provides a wide color temperature range from 2200K to 15000K, allowing it to achieve high-quality lighting effects with exceptional precision. The Vortex4 features a 20° beam angle, delivering a punchy output of 7,300 lux at 3 meters. With four independently controllable zones, the Vortex4 is designed for both hard and soft lighting, thanks to its compatibility with the Creamsource Diffuser or Dome. The fixture's IP65 rating ensures reliable performance in harsh environments, protecting it against dust and water, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Incorporating cutting-edge features like 'FrameSync' technology and built-in effects, the Vortex4 is part of the latest CreamOS architecture. With robust connectivity options including LumenRadio TimoTwo, Ethernet with sACN, Bluetooth, Wifi, 5-pin DMX, USB Type A, and a Creamsource Accessory port, the Vortex4 offers an array of control possibilities and future protocol support. This fixture also supports battery-powered operation via a 48V DC input, offering flexibility for location shoots or remote setups. The Vortex4 is optimized for high-speed applications, supporting shooting rates of up to 5000fps, making it perfect for demanding cinematic productions. Its active cooling system ensures near-silent operation, with effective heat dissipation through its machined aluminum chassis, allowing it to perform efficiently even in the most challenging conditions.
The Vortex4 is built to last with a durable aluminum/technopolymer construction, ensuring longevity and robustness. The fixture includes multiple mounting points for easy rigging, making it well-suited for rapid deployment in large arrays. Offering a remarkable 50,000-hour estimated LED lifespan, it provides long-term reliability and performance. Whether used in studio settings or on location, the Vortex4's versatile features, high power output, and rugged design make it an indispensable tool for professional lighting applications.
