FORTE means Excellence, Specialty, Strength. Our FORTE® certainly lives up to its name! With a choice of high-performance engines from our revolutionary TRANSFERABLE ENGINE technology, giving you the ability to maintain light quality, combined with a fixture packed with specialized innovations, you have the luminaire ready to take you into the future.
You can now choose between the TE™ 1,000W HP White LED engine (HP - High Performance), producing the highest possible output, or the TE™ 1,000W HCF White LED engine (HCF - High Color Fidelity) for those demanding exceptional color quality. You can now install either engine in the same fixture, without alignment or warranty issues, in five minutes! Without the expense and complication of having to use separate fixtures with different sources, TRANSFERABLE ENGINES give you the right engine, in the right fixture, at the right time!
The revolutionary self-referencing and data capturing engines are all designed, developed, and manufactured in our own factory (Robe patented technology). Performance has not been compromised, with the TE™ 1,000W HP White LED engine 6,700K producing 50,000 lm of piercing output and the TE™ 1,000W HCF White LED engine 6,000K producing 35,000 lm with its exceptionally high CRI of 96. The L70/B50 ratings of 50,000 hours ensure longevity.
Harnessing the power of the self-referencing and data capturing TRANSFERABLE ENGINES, FORTE® features a wide 5 to 55 degree zoom range to handle all your spot, wash and beam applications, contained within its class-leading 41 kg chassis. The usual power loss at narrow zoom is compensated for by our ingenious patent-pending Robe system, improving performance by more than 15%, giving you significantly increased power, perfect for blade-like beams.
Robe's cutting-edge CMY color mixing system provides perfectly smooth color transitions. Combined with two color wheels, CRI 80 and 90 filters (HP engine), and variable CTO from 3,000K to 6,700K, FORTE® offers total color finesse.
The complete dynamic effects package includes: two fully indexable and rotating gobo wheels, each with 6 gobos using Robe's quick-change slot and lock system; two overlapping 6-facet prisms, one linear, one circular; animation wheel and ultra-fast motorized iris. The two quick-change interchangeable frosts, a 1° soft and a 5° medium for silky-smooth washes, cover the entire 5-55 degree zoom range without range restriction.
FORTE® gives you total control via our patented ultra-precise PLANO4™ framing shutter system, with individual blade control and the entire assembly rotating by +- 60°; Cpulse™ PWM control and ChromaTint™ Plus/Minus Green direct control for broadcast precision; EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) technology, for instant stopping and hysteresis elimination, making FORTE® the ideal fixture for RoboSpot™; L3™ (Low Light Linearity) dimming producing imperceptible fades to black.
FORTE® has a complete suite of protocols; USITT DMX 512, RDM, ArtNet, MA Net, MA Net 2, and sACN. REAP™ (Robe Ethernet Access Portal) is included for direct communication over Ethernet networks. Wireless DMX control is available upon request. All this enables seamless integration into all control networks.
