![]() One thing that I initially thought about this release was how it almost seems like ARRI’s version of many the things that Aputure announced at NAB this last year. Internal power supply, wireless DMX, and battery input.Integrated color sensor for matching ambient light.Lighting Operating System (LiOS) with powerful software features.Extremely powerful output for maximum brightness and perfect colors.ARRI Spectra six-color, wide-gamut light engine. ![]() Variety of optics, including open face, projection, dome, and light banks.It can automatically gauge the light in the room and change seamlessly to varying degrees of brightness and color temperature. In some regards, this light represents the first lighting unit that I would firmly say can do anything. It can be a leko light, it can be a softbox, it can be a fresnel, it can hook up to other lights via ethernet - and you can control it wirelessly via DMX on your iPad. The Orbiter, to say the least, looks sick. It’s appropriately named, because it looks like something straight out of the latest Sci-Fi movie. Just look at the way the Quasar changed the lighting landscape, creating an entire style of music video lighting altogether. To me, the lighting field is where truly cinematic images begin - and where the advancements are most apparent. Cameras are constantly getting updates, but in the grand scheme of things, most cameras already look cinematic, offer good slow motion, and shoot in 4K or higher. Nothing excites me more than seeing significant advancements in the lighting field. Every once in a while, a piece of gear comes out that threatens to change everything.
