Introduction
Nexera
TM
is Wybron's family of affordable dichroic CMY color mixing luminaires expressly
designed to complement your current equipment. Nexera wash lights and profile spots operate
just like the conventional theatrical fixtures you're using already, but with the addition of Wybron
CMY dichroic color mixing.
Nexera fixtures are offered with the Philips
®
GLC/GLA 575W compact tungsten sources (the
preferred source for theater and television) or CDM lamps, and provide superb light output and
beam uniformity. All Nexera fixtures are convection cooled and servo-driven, utilizing no fans for
silent operation. The patent-pending Wybron CMY color mixing module produces a wide color
palette, featuring an exceptional range of control over the most subtle theatrical colors like
bastard amber, light pink and no-color blue, all with seamless transitions between colors. Color
consistency over time is assured, because the glass filters will not fade with heat or age. Each
unit requires 3 DMX channels, thus they are easy to use and patch, even on the simplest of
control consoles. The chosen color is easily selected using any two of the three DMX control
channels. Color fades are gracefully accomplished with your choice of color path from one color
to the next. The Wybron CMY dichroic color-mixing module also allows designers to make color
choices and changes in real time.
All Nexera fixtures share a common lamp housing, borosilicate cold mirror reflector and Wybron
CMY dichroic color-mixing module for ease of service and flexibility. The Wybron CMY module
offers a menu display for DMX addressing and operational info. The Nexera has a front
accessory frame, allowing for standard sized accessories like gel frames, snoots, barn doors and
donuts to be fitted to the fixtures. The profiles accept standard M size patterns and accessories.
