Default Apollo and Blue Pony Launch Digital Gobos

Apollo Design Technology and Blue Pony Digital have launched the top 100 Apollo ColourScenic gobos in a digital format, allowing them to be used for lighting. The highly detailed images can now be used in projection and media servers formatted at optimal resolution. "Apollo introduced the ColourScenic glass gobo, in November 1999, winning ESTA's coveted Dealer's Choice Award for New Product of the Year," states Apollo dealer manager Keith Kankovsky. "Stunning full color photographic resolution from moving and static projectors became the industry standard, which Apollo continues to lead today."

With frequent requests for Apollo standards in digital format from Apollo and Blue Pony customers, Joel Nichols, president and founder of both companies, decided Apollo and Blue Pony should join together to release the award winning gobos in a digital file. Nichols said, "We really see Blue Pony providing great content to the market. We're excited to provide the popular ColourScenic patterns in a digital format."

The top 100 ColourScenic patterns collection will be available at LDI in Orlando, November 16-18. Blue Pony sales representatives will be available at Booth #435, next to Apollo at Booth #427, to answer questions and display the product. The collection will also be available online at Blue Pony's website, which is listed below.

Pretty sweet... Now if I could just remember where I set down my DL2... I know I had it around here somewhere...

That will be a great arsenal to have around!

I'll probably actually be using these alot next year!!!! This just made my day. I'm going to incorporate 2 projectors in to my yearly light show, and use media server-style content triggered via q-lab to feed them both the same feed. It'll be sweet. This is just what I need! I can't wait until they're released!

Oh, and I hide my Showgun in the closet, my DL2 in the basement, and my Barco LED D-Lite panels are hidden behind the books in the bookshelf.

Nah, the DL2 is in the attic, so it can project on the neighbors house for movie night. I keep the VL3000s under the left side of the bed and the Mac 2ks under the right side. They don't play too nice sometimes, and it gets a little hot under the blankets.

This is extremely exciting, I was hoping that such a thing would come to pass. There are a number of stock glass already loaded but this will fit into our existing conventional inventory better. I love the blue pony line, use the stock content very often. It's too bad they arn't coming out in time for the show im teching, (goes up thurs) I would love to use them.

sorry to brag but my DL2s are on the second catwalk at the moment.

It's okay to brag, a little. Not to hijack, but in a different thread I disparaged the DL2. Recently I worked the country band, Sugarland, and they had four units used to their full advantage. I told the LD it was the best use of them I had ever seen, and he appreciated my saying that. He also said HES is coming out with something even brighter, which was my biggest complaint about the DL1 and 2.

Ah, but they are available. I viewed the clips on DVD Friday from the comfort of my springy office chair. For information regarding immediate use, please call Blue Pony at (260)969-1020.
