 THE ALPHA RANGE 1500

Light beyond imagination

Clay Paky has provided lighting designers with the most powerful spot and wash lights available: the new Alpha 1500 line. The pulsing
heart of these new automated lights is their high performance optical system, the source of an incredibly bright beam of clean uniform
light.
The remarkable output of the single-ended 1500 W Lok-It bulb is ingeniously driven through a sophisticated array of motorized lenses,
which provides precise control over the beam angle and projection through the innovative Stay-Sharp-Zoom and Zoom–Tracking-Diffuser
functions.
However, Alphas 1500 are more than just powerful lights. They feature an extremely rich range of functions: infinite colour choices, the
industry’s most creative imagery, limitless control of beam size and shape, unsurpassed movement speed and acceleration and an ex-
traordinarily friendly user interface.
With the Alpha 1500 Series, Clay Paky has produced tools that enhance the lighting designer’s creativity, rather than just supporting it.
Designers may go beyond the limits of their own imagination and reach new levels of creative freedom.
Despite their breathtaking power, Alphas 1500 are the smallest and lightest fixtures in their category. They also feature Clay Paky’s legen-
dary superior quality, enhanced with completely new electronics and innovative mechanical design.

The Alpha 1500 range includes five top level models:

• ALPHA PROFILE 1500, the most powerful moving head spotlight. It features a unique framing system that allows extremely precise and
versatile beam shape control (patented), making this light the most suitable for the most demanding lighting sets.
• ALPHA SPOT HPE 1500, the most impressive visual effect moving head, with an incredible array of imagery devices, including the in-
novative “automated star gobo” (patent pending) and the Dyna-Cue-Creator, a tool helping to generate fantastic dynamic cues.
• ALPHA BEAM 1500, the most powerful light in the new fully automated ACL fixture category. It generates a solid, super-concentrated
parallel beam for very long-throw projection. Innumerable devices shape the beam size and animate it with colour and movement for
fantastic mid-air effects.
• ALPHA WASH 1500, a washlight that generates an astounding beam. It is fully sizeable, thanks to the extra-wide 1:7 ratio zoom range.
The beam is clean from centre to edge with limitless colour and shade selection.
• ALPHA WASH 1500 LT, a special moving head, generating a powerful long-throw coloured

Surprising silence
Alpha 1500 lights are among the most silent in their power category. They are therefore also perfect for indoor use, such as in TV studios
and theatres. Their motorized functions are noise-free, even at the highest frequencies: pan and tilt, gobo and colour wheel rotations,
visual effects, zoom and the strobe. Optimal air-flow channelling drastically reduces cooling system noise.

A plunge into the world of colours

All Alpha 1500 models have a powerful set of devices for colouring the light beam. The dichroic filters are extremely high quality, with care-
fully selected shades according to the colour spectrum of the lamp and the use of each model. A dedicated channel hosts macros with a
preset colour range, which are interesting for their uniqueness and for frequent use.

CMY CTO color wheel

The colour engine includes a subtractive colour mixing CMY system, a colour temperature correction CTO system and wheels with special fixed colours

Cutting-edge technology that aids creativity
Alpha 1500s were created to be the best, not only in terms of power. In the hands of lighting designers, they are high precision tools for
creating refined and technically exemplary shows. However those who use them quickly discover that they are an endless source of highly
creative solutions and ideas that can be developed for use at events. The user has complete control over the characteristics of each of the
five versions, thanks to a large number of sophisticated devices, which depend on the model.

FEATURES SHARED BY
THE ALPHA SPOT 1500 MODELS

From 7° to 60° in a split second

Alpha 1500s have an extraordinary zoom, which even thrills the lighting operators themselves.
The beam angle in the Spot and Profile versions ranges from a maximum of about 60° to a minimum of less than 7°, with an incompara-
ble aperture ratio of 1:8.5. This masterpiece of optical technology allows really extreme beam angles, making these spotlights absolutely
versatile for short-throw and long-throw jobs. The 60° to 9.5° range is perfectly linear. Whereas there is an additional not-linear range from
9.5 to 7°, which is extremely useful mainly for ultra short-throw projections.
The speed of this zoom is spectacular: the full angular range can be gone through in just 0.5 sec. This speed, which corresponds to
120 complete zoom cycles per minute, has never been seen before in optical systems of this kind! The cycle may be repeated endlessly
between any two beam angles with absolute precision. This creates a pulsating effect that makes the audience feel instantly immersed in
the scene of coloured light.

Automatic focusing: a dream comes true traditional Stay-Sharp-Zoom

focus
The Alpha Spotlight HPE and Profile 1500 have an absolutely ex-
traordinary function: the patented “Stay Sharp Zoom” (SSZ) device
that keeps the image in focus automatically while the zoom goes 7° 9,5° 60°
from one beam angle to another, even when the focal plane of the
projected visual effect changes.
The SSZ device may be turned on and off as required and operates
in the range from 9.5° to 60°, where the zoom is linear. In the addi-
tional range from 9.5° to 7°, focusing is traditional, i.e. done manu-
ally by the programmer.
Thanks to this function - never seen before in the sector - program-
ming becomes easier. A sophisticated algorithm instantaneously
and automatically repositions every single lens in the array accord-
ing to the new zoom beam angle.

The operator no longer has to worry about loosing the sharpness of the
projection.

Rounded edges with the HD iris

The extremely wide beam angles the Alpha 1500 zoom is capable of may project enormous images where every single detail is enlarged,
especially in short-throw use. For this reason, the iris consists of a very special diaphragm made up of 16 blades that form an almost per-
fect circle. Its diameter may be changed at a speed that can reach a staggering maximum. A sequence of high frequency iris openings
and closings may be used as an exciting pulsating light effect, especially if combined with maximum zoom angles.

The blades of this special

diaphragm are made of a new
self-lubricating material that
withstands great mechanical
and thermal stress.

Linear colour temperature control
Besides CMY mixing and the fixed colour wheel, the Alpha Spot
HPE 1500 and Profile 1500 versions have a CTO device for gradual
colour temperature adjustment. The shade of the correction filter
has been carefully chosen according to the colour spectrum of the
lamp and allows linear adjustment from the rated 6000 K to up to

The linear CTO system provides excellent colours even in the warm section of
the colour spectrum.

Perfect diffusion at every beam angle with the Zoom-Tracking-Diffuser

Going from a hard-edge beam to a soft-edge beam is optimized by an ingenious device consisting of a high quality frost lens that moves
integrally with the zoom unit. This means the diffusion level may be adjusted linearly. Since the device moves with the zoom, diffusion is
perfectly uniform and does not have the hotspots typical of frost filters. The resulting effect goes from slight blurring of the edges to wide-
spread light diffusion, very similar to a washlight effect.

A framing system without shape limits

Clay Paky has equipped the Alpha Profile 1500 with the most ingenious framing sys- +4

tem ever produced in the show lighting industry. It consists of four independent over-
lapping blades that create shapes of all sizes, not just quadrangular, but also triangu-
lar. It is the only system able to work simultaneously on four different focal planes. The
exclusive “curtain effect” (patented) allows gradual total closure of the shape using
any one of the four blades. The shape made may also be turned around itself up to an
angle of 90°, either to change its orientation or keep it fixed as the light beam moves.
Blade movements and rotation take place very gently at a freely adjustable speed.
With all these features, the Alpha Profile 1500 is an extraordinary tool for theatrical use,
in television studios or on the sets of large events, where it can fashion light beams
without limits and frame scenic elements precisely with fixed or animated light. Framing system rotation on 90°

Projected images with exemplary quality

The Alpha Profile 1500 provides the most complete range of visual effects you could ever wish for:

• A wheel with 8 fixed gobos

• A wheel with 6 rotating gobos
• All the gobos are made of high definition laser engraved high quality dichroic glass
• The two gobo wheels may be overlapped to create morphing effects
• The “gobo fine” channel ensures utmost positioning precision, which is essential for long-throw
use and when the projected image has to be perfectly oriented.
• A five-faced rotating prism can multiply any simple or compound image.
• To make programming easier, the operator can use the macro channel where it is possible to
choose from a large number of pre-set combinations of totally new, highly attractive, elegant
effects that are often impossible with other lights.

On a catalogue, it is hard to illustrate the sharpness of an image, the beauty of the effects, and the incredible combinations which can be
achieved with the Alpha Spot HPE 1500, the most complete special effects spotlight on the market:

• One wheel with 8 fixed gobos
• 12 rotating gobos on 2 wheels
• All the gobos are made of high quality dichroic glass with original designs
• With two wheels, the gobos can be overlapped to create a morphing effect
• A five-faced rotating prism can multiply any image
• The “gobo fine” channel ensures utmost positioning precision, which is essential for long throw applications, when several spotlights are
used together or when the projected image has to be perfectly oriented in space.
• The operator may use the “Dyna-Cue-Creator” function to simplify programming, with its infinite pre-programmed combinations of
highly attractive refined effects, that are often impossible with other lights.

Glass animation wheel

The Alpha Spot HPE 1500 animation disc is a special transparent glass plate with an uneven surface that deforms the projected image.
As it turns, it generates textures that change and move continuously with varying speeds, depth of field or focus. With a suitable choice
of gobos, it is possible to simulate typical theatrical effects, such as flames, waves, wind, fireworks, a liquid mass and a vortex. Extremely
beautiful abstract patterns may also be created using specially worked glass discs. For example, using a microperforated gobo, you get
a merry-go-round of precious crystals that chase each other.
The animation disc is fitted with a magnetic coupling system so it can be swapped quickly with other animation discs, available on re-
quest.

Dyna-Cue-Creator
Alpha 1500s abound in powerful spectacular devices. For this reason, they can be complex machines to use. However, Clay Paky has cre-
ated a tool to make the user’s work easier: the “Dyna-Cue-Creator” function. The “macro” channel in other spotlights contains a selection
of static projections, but in the Alpha 1500s it is a library of dynamic - often three-dimensional - animations that lighting designers may use
in their shows almost automatically. The “Dyna-Cue-Creator” is the result of meticulous artistic research: the zoom, focus, iris and dim-
mer functions are combined and synchronized with each other in many different ways that may be customized by lighting designers (with
colours, gobos, speed and other effects). The “Dyna-Cue-Creator” is easy to use owing to the autofocus extremely rapid and constant
adjustments; lighting designers no longer have to program continuous focus corrections with benefits that are particularly evident in the
most complex cues, where the gobo, focus plane and zoom angles change simultaneously.
Macros can be applied to both individual projectors and a series of projectors. In automatic mode, you can use the “random” function to
make more than one projector use the same macro in a synchronized way. You do not have to manage phase shifts because synchroni-
zation is controlled automatically by the projector and not from the console. The only decision you have to make is whether to apply the
macros to one projector or a group of projectors.

The “Dyna-Cue-Creator” function opens doors for lighting designers to a universe of spectacular, creative solutions

An extremely powerful automated ACL: star of the biggest events

A new category of spotlight for shows

By motorizing the narrow beam of concentrated ACL light, Clay Paky has invented a new category of spotlight, the “Beam Moving Light”.
Alpha Beam 1500 is the top model in this category, in power, abundance of devices and spectacularity of light effects.
The Alpha Beam 1500 is extremely fast: in a moment, it points at the stage, then at the audience, then up into the sky at open-air events. It
can be an exciting blinder or striking dynamic colour-changing sky tracker. For this reason, the Alpha Beam 1500 has already become the
star of world famous events, such as the inauguration ceremonies of large shows, international sporting events, and concerts by famous
artists.

All the tools for shaping the beam

The Alpha Beam 1500 produces a highly visible, dazzling, solid bar of light, whose diameter may be modified by adjusting the iris.
Its shape may be changed thanks to a vast set of devices, i.e. several effects can be created in mid-air:

• 14 dichroic gobos (6 rotating + 8 fixed)

• 3 rotating prisms (5-face, 6-face and beam shaper)
• high speed iris
• a hybrid dimmer (100-50% electronic, 50%-0 mechanical) changes beam intensity
• a shutter/strobe adds the possibility of flashing and instantaneous black-out.

A level of brightness never achieved before
Thanks to the special optical unit invented by Clay Paky, the Alpha Beam 1500 concentrates light into a beam that is very much brighter
than those of any other spotlights with the same power. Its beam stands out against any background. It is a perfect blade of light in mul-
timedia shows that cuts through - with breathtaking effects - the brightness of washlights or the LED video systems that fill the backdrops
of stages. Even though the beam is generated by a light source of only 1500 watts, it is bright for hundreds of metres: distances that until
now could only be reached by search lights with powers of several thousand watts.

Patented focusing system

The Alpha Beam 1500 has an innovative patented focusing system that allows extremely bright effects to be projected. Focusing is
achieved by moving the entire effects section and not just a single lens. This original solution is the fruit of Clay Paky research.

Standard Beam Frosted Beam Focused Pattern

Not just a beamlight... but a spotlight and even a washlight too

The Alpha Beam 1500 is the only beam moving light that can also become a washlight or a spotlight. Its colour-engine (CMY mixing,
special colour wheel and CTO) and gradual frost diffusion support, make it an excellent narrow-angle washlight, ideal at large venues,
arenas and stadia.
Furthermore the wide range of visual effect devices means the Alpha Beam 1500 can also be used as a spotlight, not just for effects in
mid-air, but also for clear gobo projections, which become beautiful decorative images when the two rotating prisms are used (similar to
those of a powerful moon-flower effect).
The Alpha Beam 1500 should not be seen as a niche light, devoted to special effects, but as a versatile tool to be chosen for its spectacular
beams and used during the same show in many different ways.

Incomparable luminous efficiency even at maximum beam angles
The Alpha 1500 line washlights provide an unapproachable brightness for any other washlight of the same category over the whole zoom
range. The optical unit optimizes lamp power, even at maximum beam angles.
The Alpha Wash 1500 zoom ranges from 11° to 74°, so it can be used with no compromise both in long-throw applications (such as live
events) and where distances are short (for instance in TV studios or theatres).
The Alpha Wash 1500 LT is the first long-throw washlight, with special optics. The zoom angle ranges from 10° to 32° (55° using the
optional frost). The minimum angle provides perfect washlighting at distances other washlights find hard to reach. The Alpha Wash LT is
therefore suitable for use in large arenas and stadia and for colouring stages on large tours from great distances.
The zoom is perfectly linear and uniform on both versions. It is very smooth at low speeds and amazing at top speed.

Colour also has a shape

The washlight beam may be diffused evenly or shaped:

• Using an adjustable ovalizer filter with banana effect.

• Using the “diamond filter”, which concentrates the light on two perpendicular axes and produces a particularly attractive effect in
backlighting.
• Both effects may rotate in both directions at a freely adjustable speed.
• The beam shaper effect may be more or less accentuated by moving the whole lens array in or out. At the same time the light goes from
“narrow beam” to “wide beam”.

The colour creator
Alpha Wash 1500s have an incomparable capacity in terms of the quantity, quality and reproducibility of the colours they generate. This is
thanks to a powerful colour-engine consisting of a CMY device, wheels with six special colour filters (two for the normal washlight, one for
the LT washlight) and a special “Golden CTO” device that adjusts the colour temperature from 2500 K to 6000 K.
The range of colours is inexhaustible both for saturated colours and pastel shades. The warm shades created in the frequency area be-
tween yellow and orange are particularly beautiful, thanks to the “Golden CTO” device.
A dedicated channel, named the “Alpha Color Palette”, has been created to help lighting designers find artistic solutions. It contains an
extremely wide range of preselected colours, formed by combining all the beam colouring devices in a great variety of ways.
Lastly, for those who wish to use traditional gels with Alpha Wash 1500s, gels may be safely fitted externally to the front lens using the
patented “Magnet Gel Holder” system.

The extensive Clay Paky research that went into creating these cutting-edge devices is attested by the large number of international pat-
ents registered and patent applications submitted for the Alpha 1500 line. Here are the most important:

• Quick spring-lock system for interchangeable fixed and rotating gobo discs.
• Entire effect-assembly movement for focusing with fixed front lens position.
• Flexible electric cabling system for the moving Zoom-Tracking-Diffuser unit
• Framing-system “curtain” effect (Profile model)
• Animated-Star-Gobo (Spot HPE model)
• Special lens with concentric dual–level frost finishing (Wash model).
• Diamond filter fitted on the rotating disc unit (Wash models).
• Magnetic support system for fitting external gels (Wash models).

 ALPHA 1500
the wilder
side of light

The agile Alpha 1500 leaves rivals further down the tree looking quite tame by comparison. Scratch the
surface and discover what makes this wildcat such a unique piece of work. Besides its speed, silence
and hair-breadth precision, the Alpha 1500 has an incredible auto-focusing zoom - supple enough to
leap from 7 to 60 degrees in a single split second.
