One of the first interesting moving LED products I had the pleasure to see was an early frying pan-shaped moving head fixture. It was easy to be impressed by any LED tech at that point. This was the mid-2000s, and to the extent that LED fixtures existed, they largely recapitulated the familiar forms of moving-head fixtures. Pixel control of moving head fixtures was almost unheard of, largely because it was totally irrelevant: nobody needed or wanted to control individual red, green, and blue dots. These were trying times.
We progressed, we built new things, and we broke out of the traditional moving-head form. Miniaturization and collimating lenses made high-powered lights with pixel-mapping a practical possibility, and eventually, a new class of light entered the scene — the moving linear batten. Today, we’re looking at one such batten, the Tetra1 from Robe.
