The Elation Professional Proteus Hybrid Max is a high-output, 3-in-1 hybrid moving head fixture that seamlessly blends beam, spot, and wash capabilities into a compact, lightweight, and fully weatherproof design. This powerful fixture is equipped with the innovative Philips MSD Platinum FLEX 500 lamp, offering an impressive 550W of power and an extended lamp life of up to 4,000 hours. With a total output of 22,000 lumens, the Proteus Hybrid Max delivers extreme brightness and versatility, making it perfect for a wide range of applications, from outdoor events to large-scale concerts, theme parks, and theater productions. Its IP66 rating ensures that it is fully protected against water and dust, making it suitable for the harshest environments.
The Proteus Hybrid Max features an ultra-fast zoom range, going from a tight 1.9° beam in beam mode to 44.5° in wash mode, providing incredible flexibility for different lighting effects. This motorized zoom allows users to easily adjust the beam from a narrow, focused projection to a wide, immersive wash, making the fixture adaptable to a variety of performance needs. The fixture's large 170mm front lens ensures that the beam is powerful and crisp, producing sharp edges and intense output that cuts through the air with precision, even at great distances. The high-quality optical system ensures that the beam is consistent and vibrant, even when using color filters and gobos.
One of the standout features of the Proteus Hybrid Max is its comprehensive FX package. The fixture comes equipped with 8 rotating and 16 static-stamped metal gobos, allowing for a wide range of gobo projections, from intricate patterns to bold, graphic images. In addition, the fixture includes a dual-track animation wheel, which can create dynamic visual effects by projecting moving patterns or animated sequences. The four prisms on dual planes allow for additional effects such as expanding the beam, adding texture, or producing stunning multi-beam effects. Dual frost filters, along with the iris, enable soft wash effects and precise beam control, ensuring that the fixture can achieve a wide range of looks, from sharp, narrow beams to soft, diffused washes.
Color mixing is handled by a full CMY color mixing system, with a variable CTO (color temperature) feature to adjust the color temperature of the light source, providing even more creative flexibility. Additionally, the fixture includes a 16-position color wheel that offers a variety of vibrant, rich colors, allowing for quick color changes during live events or performances. The combination of CMY and the color wheel ensures that users have a full range of color options to match any design or creative vision.
For even more precision and flexibility, the Proteus Hybrid Max includes a motorized focus with an auto-focus feature, which ensures sharp, clear projections at any zoom setting. The high-speed mechanical shutter and strobe capabilities allow for dramatic lighting transitions and effects, adding energy and excitement to any performance or event. The fixture's 540° pan and 250° tilt range allow for full, fluid movement, while the 630° pan option in some settings provides enhanced rotation capabilities for dynamic and impactful effects.
Control over the Proteus Hybrid Max is highly flexible, supporting both DMX and RDM protocols, as well as Art-Net and sACN, enabling integration into virtually any lighting system. The fixture features two DMX channel modes (32 or 43 channels), and a full-color 180° reversible LCD menu display with a 4-button touch control panel, allowing users to easily adjust settings and control the fixture directly from the menu. The inclusion of Elation's E-FLY internal wireless DMX transceiver enables wireless control, making setup and operation even more convenient. The fixture's rugged, IP66-rated housing is designed to withstand the elements, with locking 5pin XLR DMX in/out, RJ45 ethernet in/out, and locking power in/out connections for secure and reliable data and power transmission.
The Proteus Hybrid Max is designed to operate efficiently with a maximum power consumption of 800W, offering powerful output while keeping energy use low. It supports a wide voltage range (AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz) and operates in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C), ensuring reliability and performance in diverse environmental conditions. Whether used in hot climates or cold environments, the Proteus Hybrid Max maintains optimal functionality thanks to its advanced internal thermal cooling system.
