K5600 Alpha HMI Fresnel 6/9kW Head Kit

ARRI’s High Speed ballasts accept the challenge of modern digital high-speed photography with ease.

Running lamp frequencies up to 1,200 Hz High Speed ballasts facilitate high quality flicker free images even at frame rates of 1,000 fps and in many cases beyond even with a single discharge daylight source. Set to High Speed mode, ARRI electronic ballasts supply the lamp with a greatly raised square wave current, allowing worriless shootings for many various application such as SFX, VFX, commercials, sports, industrial applications, automotive component testing, ballistics or material testing.

ARRI High Speed electronic ballasts are available up to 800 W.

The extremely compact and lightweight Alpha 4K changes the requirements for any 4K on location.

With the use of a composite quartz reflector, the Alpha 4K is the smallest 4K Fresnel on the market. Heat is dissipated efficiently using a specially designed air ventilation system. The Alpha 4K runs so “cool” that it can even be illuminated in the straight down position.

Lamp installation is safe and easy using a quick release latch on the ceramic G38 socket, and is easily adjustable for 2.5K or 4K lamp use.

In addition, the Alpha Spacebeam accessory can be used to create either a follow spot, par spot, or space light effect.

The M90 closes the gap between M40 and ARRIMAX 18/12, which sits almost exactly in the middle between the two. The unit is focusable from 15° up to 49° just by turning the focus knob, producing a remarkably even light field and a crisp, clear shadow.

The elimination of spread lenses speeds up the workflow on set.

The 9,000 W lamp is very similar in size to the 6,000 W lamp, which makes the MAX Technology reflector function perfectly at both wattages. The superior housing and cooling concept have made a very compact design close to the dimensions of the ARRISUN 60.

Together with the latest electronic high speed ballast, EB 6/9 HS with AutoScan, this combination represents the state of the art daylight system for high quality images at high frame rates. All EB 6/9 kW ballasts are equipped with CCL module (Compensation of Cable Losses) enabling full power is maintained all the way to the lamp even when very long cables are used. This means uniformly high light output independent from cable length. Since the accompanying EB 6/9 kW ballast uses the housing of the current EB 6000 Baby, the 6 kW Head-to-Ballast cables are compatible and the whole system is highly efficient and delivers a light output close to a traditional 12 kW PAR (with lens) within the dimensions of a 6 kW PAR system – it punches above its weight!
