The Orbiter Fresnel Lens creates a precise light spot with a soft single shadow, and it delivers true Fresnel output with a real Gaussian field of light. The light output of Orbiter with the Fresnel lens is comparable to the ARRI L-Series L10 and True Blue ST2/3 with 2000 W Tungsten bulb.

This intuitive design makes changing colors or finding a setting easier than ever before. In addition, the control panel is removable and can be used handheld with the aid of a control panel cable.

Redesigned from the ground up, the Orbiter control panel is an evolutionary step in light fixture control. Including a 4" full-color display, quick navigation buttons, and integrated sensors, the Orbiter control panel allows for easy use with a graphic user interface. Simplified menu structure and reimagined user interfaces provide one-glance operational views and uncluttered screens.
Combined with Orbiter’s ARRI Spectra light engine, the high-end optical system is perfectly suited for cinematic application, broadcast studios, as well as theaters or live productions. The Orbiter Fresnel lens is a great addition to the already existing Orbiter Open Face Optics 15°, 30°, and 60°.
The Fresnel lighting character works best with a large aperture and a wide zoom range. Despite its large aperture, the Orbiter Fresnel lens housing is compact (approx. 340 mm x 380 mm x 370 mm / 13.4 in x 15 in x 14.6 in) and lightweight (~ 4.5 kg / 9.5 lbs). Its lens diameter of 285 mm / 11.2 in equals that of the True Blue ST2/3 and T5. The large zoom range of 15 to 65° is fully motorized and can be precisely positioned while being controlled locally via Orbiter’s Control Panel or remotely by DMX/RDM or IP based (ArtNet or sACN). The Orbiter Fresnel lens will be available in black.

Orbiter’s unique Quick Lighting Mount (QLM) system allows the Orbiter Fresnel lens to be mounted safely and quickly. ARRI accessories like the 4 and 8-leaf barndoors can be added to the new Orbiter Fresnel lens to enable a perfect cut. Physical gels can also be used in addition to the more than 300 already pre-programmed gels available for Orbiter.
Equipped with a display, status LED, and a high-resolution encoder, the Orbiter Fresnel lens offers information that is easily accessible. The display backlight can be adjusted, and status information and zoom angle are available via the metadata for maintenance and postproduction needs.
