Overview
The CreamSource Vortex8 is a versatile 2×1 RGBW system with CCT ranging from 2200K to 15000K that can be used as a hard punch light to bounce or push through diffusion, or as a creamy soft light with the Creamsource Dome or DoPchoice Snapbag. Effects and color Gels are built into the latest CreamOS architecture in addition to a range of new features wrapped into an intuitive user interface. Unpredictable weather and messy effects machines are no longer a worry for the lighting department with the Vortex. The Vortex8 is IP65 water resistant and sealed for the extreme protection. Rain, snow and dust wont hold the Vortex back.
IP65 Water Resistant
The Vortex8 is built and designed to withstand all weather conditions and is rated IP65. The Vortex8 is an ultra quiet fan based system with optimum thermal efficiency. The fan system and heatsink placement allows for core electronics to be sealed and isolated. Only premium waterproof connectors have been used in this series allowing all functions to be used in all weather conditions.
650W of Power
The Vortex8 is a 650W power house giving the meter a reading of 14000 lux at 9.8ft. Offering the intensity of some 1200W HMI systems. All this punch in a 2x1 is possible with the ultra narrow 20° beam angle. The versatility of a narrow beam angle source becomes apparent as both the artistic and technical needs shape and control the light can be easily met.
Modern CreamOS
The new Vortex Series has been built with new software architecture at its base, supporting a myriad of new features, protocols and connectivity mediums making the future evolution of CreamOS very exciting. Creativity has no bounds on the Vortex8 with ability to control and map 8 zones. The new feature set has been wrapped into a new user interface, enhancing the user experience
Advanced Connectivity
Interfacing with 3rd party equipment, apps and the internet is possible with more options than ever on the Vortex8. LumenRadio TimoTwo, Ethernet, Bluetooth, 5-pin DMX, Wifi, USB typeA and Creamsource Accessory port are all available on the antenna-less Vortex8 offering endless potential communication and remote control.
Sync Vortex8 to your camera's shutter
With FrameSync, the Vortex8 can be triggered from an external source, such as a sync generator (e.g. Ambient Lockit ACN-CL), or the genlock output of a cinema camera, to ensure that it is synchronized with the camera shutter. This is especially useful when using effects such as strobe, where a lack of synchronization between the camera and the lights can cause issues like frame tearing and flash banding. This feature alleviates the problem that most digital CMOS cameras can have with any flashing or strobing light source. It can also be used for frame-accurate strobing for advanced special effects, for frame rates up to 5,000fps.
