Italian Company Invest In DigitalSpot 5000 DT

News Image
Rome-based rental company Brokershow is the latest Italian hire company to invest in Robe Show Lighting’s new DigitalSpot 5000 DT.
Massimo D'Aiello explained that they have invested heavily in Robe moving lights over the last three years, and now have over 60 Robe products including ColorSpot 1200 ATs, ColorSpot and Wash 575 ATs and ColorMix 575 ATs.
They like the brand because the fixtures are reliable and hard wearing – essential features for a busy rental company.
When the DigitalSpot was launched, they were really keen to get the new fixtures into their hire stock, and went ahead with the purchase of two units.
Brokershow was founded 5 years ago. They supply lighting equipment and crew to a plethora of Italian theatre tours, TV productions and corporate events and presentations.
Robe Show Lighting organised an initial training session on the DS 5000s for Brokershow’s crew, who generally found the new fixtures as easy and logical to use as moving lights – which was always one of Robe’s basic design/build principals.
The new units have already proved themselves invaluable for the quick, easy and flexible integration of video sources into a variety of different shows.
The DigitalSpot 5000 DT offers two digital gobo layers with the selection of up to 244 x 255 video clips or images per layer. Two independent effects channels on each gobo layer give 120 effects including kaleidoscope, squeeze in/out, alpha or black flash, gobo disc mirror and colour key effects,and more.
Brokershow has recently used them on the children's talent contest 'Zechino D’Oro', a popular RAI 1 live show presented by one of Italy’s most famous showmen, Mike Buongiorno, where DigitalSpots were specified by lighting director Giulio Palaferri; and also at a recent Sky TV party in Rome’s Cine Citta TV studios.
Brokershow’s Robe moving lights are currently out on leading theatre tours including the musical 'Squali' (Sharks); on the children’s theatre show 'Geronimo Stilton' and 'La Presidentessa', starring leading celebrity and actress, Sabrina Ferilli.
