Innovation

Claypaky continuously leads the way, introducing groundbreaking technologies never seen before. We achieved a new milestone with FLOW Technology – the Active Liquid Cooling System, never used in the entertainment lighting industry before. This reduces the fixtures’ size, lowers noise levels, and increases efficiency, making it an ideal solution for theatres and TV studios.

Introduced by Skylos, the brand’s newest flagship fixture, Arctic Shield Technology is a patent-pending solution. It allows the fixture to work up to -40°C (-40°F), ensuring spectacular performance in all conditions.

Heat Shield is a sophisticated internal heat-dissipation system combined with the appropriate material selection, designed specifically for Skylos allowing it to function at very high temperatures up to +45°C (+113°F).

Solar Shield is a new technology already introduced by Skylos, featuring a system designed to shield from sunlight through a series of passive and active metal sheets, that protect the engine and the internal components from damage due to sun exposure.

Marine Shield is a specifically tailored innovation for cruise ships and seaside installations, to ensure flawless performance in salty surroundings, protecting the fixture from corrosion.

This technology is implemented to boost lumen output and on-axis candelas, and represent an alternative to RGB-technology when color dynamics and light homogeneity is not a must for the application. That’s why Claypaky adopted white laser engine to replace traditional Xenon-based search light with the SKYLOS.

Similarly to RGB-laser engines, fixtures based on white lasers can be commercialized and used in the US-territory under the XTYOS variance.

By utilizing two focal planes, a much higher edge focus has been achieved, still allowing the creation of triangular and curtain effects. The different motorization of the blades’ movements is now 40 times more precise than traditional framing systems, giving limitless scope and possibilities on stage while saving time on programming and re-focusing.

Traditionally, a single blade would not provide a uniform effect, our new approach using pairs provides much higher beam uniformity. By using two pairs, and by placing them properly, greater soft edges and uniform wash effects are achieved for better looks and performance, and truly incremental adjustments of frost levels.

A proprietary sensor inside the pan and tilt motors remembers the position in real-time, allowing for precision re-positioning crucially with no movement when doing a hard reset. This new system gives a much higher precision, a feature that will be really appreciated since the time for refocusing before the show is always limited.

Claypaky redesigned the cooling system: even at full output the noise is just 27dB. In addition to this, the fan has been taken out of the base. This reduces noise further on stage and removes black noise from other frequencies that can sometimes be annoying.
Tonedown™ is a feature that was impossible to achieve before and lets designers create room for captivating new choreography.

CloudIO enhances Claypaky multiengine LED fixtures with advanced calibration capabilities. Integrated seamlessly with an external color meter through specially designed firmware, the platform facilitates:
Absolute color calibration, for in-field fixtures recalibration. It is effective when working with fixtures from different batches or varying lifetimes. Users can also revert to the default factory calibration.
Digital filter functionality, for flexibility in selecting any color point from a diverse range of lighting sources and accurately replicate it using compatible Claypaky fixtures. This boosts the versatility and adaptability of the lighting setup for specific creative or operational needs.

A sophisticated, internally developed firmware algorithm gives us precise control over the beam in the multicolor engine.  This provides vibrant, rich colors and a balanced, consistent white, optimized for stage or TV, with high CRI and TLCI levels.

A new system enabling an individual control of 4 independent LED stripes of the multicolor engine for a high level of graphics and color effects.

It is a unique feature of the AROLLA MP Series, that is the interchangeability of the framing assembly of the profile version with the gobo module from the spot model. These modules can be moved from their fixture to the other version and the fixture’s electronics immediately recognizes and configures the fixture to operate with the module, so users do not have to make any changes themselves to the menu system.

In most of the white LED source fixtures on the market, the gobo insertion lowers the brightness and varies the color temperature. Manufacturers’ common solution is to insert a cold filter and raise the color temperature, but this leads to a loss of brightness. Thanks to our exclusive “Go-Bright” technology, based on a special coating over the gobos, there is no light loss or color shift when gobos are inserted into the beam.

This feature has been implemented into the next generation of the Claypaky Mini Xtylos; a compact laser-based fixture perfect for utilizing this unique feature to create endless effects.  Claypaky has performed rigorous testing through thousands of cycles to guarantee that the fixture is as responsive and reliable from initial use through many, many hours of use.

Our new zoom designs were developed through dialogue with our customers, to identify the best combination of optical performance, size, and without adding unnecessary costs. Claypaky’s quality control and production facilities deliver consistent products using the latest manufacturing technologies and quality control methods to insure you have the absolute best fixture performance, consistency, and reliability.

This is possible thanks to various key aspects: access to technology, employing technical expertise in laser, optics, electronics, and the proper understanding of market needs to integrate such a technology into moving beams.  This is key for developing ground-breaking laser-based fixtures into the US market: mastering the technology means having full control of safety design parameters.

The products must be tested to meet the rigors of vibrations and shocks from transportation, very cold ambient temperatures, impact from falling hailstones, electrical overstress, aggressive atmospheres, UV radiation, and more. Claypaky has developed and tests our products to a set of environmental tests that are compliant with international testing standards for the development of outdoor fixtures to meet the needs of the final application.

Claypaky is the first company in the entertainment lighting market to introduce this type of moving head fixture with a proprietary RGB laser engine in the USA, obtaining the issuance of the FDA variance in 2020. To meet these requirements, we developed and implemented proprietary safety features throughout the XTYLOS family of products for the proper and safe use of these fixtures, so that a single variance is related to all Claypaky XTYLOS family models.

Claypaky builds a competitive advantage from establishing digital business models and is the first company which introduced IoT (Internet of Things) and Cloud-based services into the Entertainment Lighting Industry by creating “Smart” and “Connected fixtures” that simplify significantly the way the fixtures are serviced and handled for the rental and dry hire companies.
