6 V ROBERT JULIAT: INNOVATION THROUGH EXPERIENCE Robert JULIAT CEO from 1919 to 1972 Jean-Charles JULIAT CEO from 1972 to 2008 François JULIAT MD since 2008 The heritage of Robert Juliat is one of which we are very proud. Founded in 1919 by my grandfather, Robert, our company is the oldest manufacturer of theatre lighting equipment still in existence. Continuing in the tradition of my great-grandfather, Jean JULIAT, who worked as technical assistant to George MELIES, creator of the fi rst visual effects in movie history, we have always made it our policy to innovate rather than re-create with our designs. Past Robert Juliat innovations, such as the fi rst HMI followspots, have since been adopted by other manufacturers. Throughout our long history of creating breakthrough products, Robert Juliat has always had a practical purpose in mind. New technology is only worth developing if it answers the needs of our customers. By customers I do not mean only lighting designers but also the technicians who work with our luminaires. Listening to our customers opinions is a key part of our success. We combine their views with our passion for lighting to produce the fi nest lanterns in the world, designing our fi xtures as much for ergonomic perfection as for optical and mechanical excellence. At Robert Juliat, we understand what it takes to make the customer happy. From the moment they consider our lanterns, throughout the working life of each fi xture, we devote our energy to winning, and deserving, their confi dence in our products and our service. For this reason we also place a strong emphasis on education through our support of several theatre schools both in France and further afi eld. The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts are the most recent to join our sponsorship programme with several new schools soon to follow. We are proud of our history, our experience, our innovation and our ability to develop with the times. We look forward to continuing to provide you with the lighting products you want in the future. François JULIAT, Managing Director

7 VI 90 Years of 1919 The Beginning Robert JULIAT, the man, founds a company designing and manufacturing lighting and projection equipment for cinemas Cinema Lighting Robert Juliat produces carbon arc projectors for cinema, manufacturing every component involved. A tradition of live entertainment in front of the cinema screen before each fi lm highlights a need for a different style of lighting. Robert JULIAT responds by creating and supplying purpose-built lighting fi xtures and has been the forerunner of single lens lanterns design since 1923, when its fi rst plano-convex lantern was released s Theatrical Lighting Robert Juliat carbon arc projectors continue to be supplied to cinemas throughout the 60s. Jean-Charles JULIAT, who joined the team, broadens the company horizons, working on 'son et lumiere' productions and steers the company towards the development of stage lighting Robert Juliat SA Jean-Charles JULIAT becomes company manager and the status of the fi rm are changed to Robert Juliat SA First HMI Followspot Robert Juliat introduces the fi rst HMI followspot with integrated PSU, the 575W Pixie, and thereby introduces a concept adopted since by other manufacturers First DMX-Controlled Profiles and Followspots In an industry fi rst, DMX dimmer control is introduced across Robert Juliat s range of HMI profi les and followspots First Followspot Award: Cyrano Robert Juliat is the fi rst manufacturer to receive an LDI award for followspot design when the newly released Cyrano 2500W HMI followspot is named LDI Lighting Product of the Year. The award is bestowed for its outstanding quality and features which include the ergonomics of the large heat resistant, wrap-around handle and the rotating fi ngertip dimmer control Extension of the Plant Increasing popularity and market demand leads to an extension of the premises at Fresnoy-en-Thelle. The current factory occupies over 7,000m ² (75,000 sq ft).

14 1 ROBERT JULIAT LEADING THE MARKET IN QUALITY SINCE 1919 Quality construction All fi xtures are manufactured to be durable enough to withstand even the toughest of touring conditions while each high quality component ensures complete reliability under show conditions. Ergonomic perfection From the large wrap-around, heat-resistant followspot handle, to the thumb-rests on the profi le shutter lock, each fi xture offers exclusive features to make operation a pleasure. Optical excellence The Robert Juliat optical system is based upon condenser optics which collects the maximum amount of light and produces a fl at, even beam with no hotspot and little drop off at the edge of the beam. The result is a crisp, consistent spread of light, guaranteeing a smooth general coverage and unsurpassed image projection. Ease of maintenance With the technician in mind, Robert Juliat designs fi xtures with easily removable components to make RJ fi xtures the quickest to set up and the easiest to maintain. Value for money Robert Juliat luminaires provide excellent return on investment due to quality construction guaranteeing long life, modular construction and zoom optic versatility. Man-hours and maintenance time are reduced, spares stock levels are kept to a minimum and the quality of build guarantees a durable product with a long working life and an exceptional return on investment. Customer care Consultation and consideration are company watchwords. The sales team works together with R&D and after sales team departments to determine customers needs, and consults focus groups of end-users to formulate designs for the ideal product. In this way we provide answers for present needs and keep Robert Juliat at the front of future developments. Environmental consciousness We make every effort to produce all products with a respect for the environment. The steel we use in our construction is fully, and more easily, recycled than aluminium. All our manufacturing is concentrated in one plant, at our headquarters, thereby avoiding any fuel waste caused by freighting part-assemblies between factories. Our policies on waste management and use of materials exceed the requirements of EU directives and we apply regulations in accordance with WEEE and RoHS standards.

15 2 We have had the Robert Juliat 310 Fresnels for two seasons now and expect them to last for at least another season! Three seasons is all we normally expect from a fi xture in these conditions they spend 4 months of every year outdoors on a cliff side with all the weather the elements can throw at them and the Robert Juliats still keep coming back for more! They are exactly what we wanted in a fi xture and we are very happy with them. Phil JACKSON (UK), Chief Electrician, Minack Theatre Photo: Minack Theatre (UK)

16 3 SINGLE LENS LUMINAIRES DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE MARKET Robert Juliat, the founder of the current company, designed the fi rst Robert Juliat PC Single Lens Luminaires fi xture in 1923 for the fl edgling moving picture industry. With the ability to think beyond conventional technology, the company has been a forerunner of lighting unit design since those early days, constantly fi nding innovative solutions to improve upon the quality of its products both in terms of beam and build until it has reached the high and constant standards for which it is renowned throughout the world today. This fresh approach continues into the current generation. With the advent of the Lutin and Cin k Fresnels, Robert Juliat has made improvements in operating features and user-friendliness to set new standards in single lens luminaire design. The modular design of these two single lens spotlights is indicative of the way Robert Juliat continues to provide a multi-faceted solution in a brilliantly simple package. Whatever the size or type of venue, Robert Juliat s single lens luminaires are perfect for the job.

17 4 3 types of lenses, 3 types of beams 1 - Plano-Convex (PC): Clear lens giving a hard-edge beam with no 'spill'. Variable zoom gives more coverage than a profi le, and a more fl exible alternative than fi xed-beam units. Ideal for front light, backlight and for dramatic highlights. 2 - Pebble-Convex (PB): Stippled lens gives less light diffusion than a Fresnel, yet without the hard edge of a PC. Use where soft edges and smooth blending are required but with more control. 3 Fresnel: Fresnel lens gives soft shadows for smooth blending between fi xtures giving an even general coverage. Ideal for wash light, back and side lighting. Bodywork: Strong sheet metal construction for durability and lightness Access: Easy access to lamp house and lenses through front or top opening for fast and effi cient maintenance Air vents: Effi cient cooling with no light spill Specially designed handle: For easy cable changing without having to go inside the unit*** Generous cable: 3m (10ft) cable with fi tted 16A CE plug** Focus adjustment: Smooth focus adjustment even when lantern is hot, for a longer lamp life Tilt reference: Index for rapid re-positioning Focus reference: Side index for easy focus reference*** (*) except Cin'k (**) depending on country (***) except 310 & 329

18 5 OVERVIEW Lenses: Choice of Plano-Convex, Pebble-Convex or Filter holder: Fresnel lenses* Choice of cardboard or metal fi lter holder Single Lens Luminaires Barn door: Unique rotating barn door with 4 individually rotating blades makes even the most diffi cult angle possible Colour runners: Double runners to hold accessories and colour fi lters Safety grid: Earthed safety grid fi tted as standard Safety first: Front accessories safety cable attachment point When refurbishing the Lighting Department at the Old Vic, we invested in a large number of Robert Juliat Fresnels which we chose because of their robust construction and versatile features. The lamps are very easy to change and the 1K 'Lutin' is transformed quickly from Fresnel to PC with the interchangeable lenses, making them a very useful and time saving fi xture. The barn doors with one point rotation on each leaf are great at getting into all those diffi cult to reach places without spilling light over set and proscenium.

20 7 SHORT THROW LUTIN 1000W TUNGSTEN Lutin is a multi-purpose 1K fi xture with a host of unique design features including a choice Single Lens Luminaires of 3 quick-change lenses making it the most versatile and economical unit of quality on the market. It can be used as a Fresnel for coverage, a Pebble for soft light and a PC for directional light. As a 3-in-1, compact, easy-to-use fi xture, Lutin offers dual savings, requiring less capital expenditure and less storage space. Especially valuable in multi-purpose venues, repertory theatre and rental companies where the interchangeable lens can be put to full use, Lutin is also of benefi t to schools, colleges and venues with limited budgets. Single Lens Luminaires features (see pages 4 & 5) Lens size: 150mm (6") Choice of 3 fast-change lenses Fresnel, PC & PB with no tools required Easy access via large top opening for fast lamp changing, lens changing and cleaning Unique handle design for fast cable changing Side index for easy focus reference Internal cable guide to prevent cables from becoming entangled in movable lamp tray Tilt pointer on hanging yoke Unique rotating barn door with 4 individually rotating blades

21 8 MEDIUM TO LONG THROW 310H 1000/1200W TUNGSTEN With its unique 200mm lens the 310H has no equivalent on the market for light output and quality of beam. The wider the lens, the greater the light output and, with its great beam angle, it is a truly high performance unit. Offering broad coverage with a smooth, even beam, the 310H is also designed for easy maintenance and has a well-earned reputation for reliability. The 310H is at home in every venue, large and small. Single Lens Luminaires features (see pages 4 & 5) Lens size: 200mm (8") Choice of 3 lenses Fresnel, PC & PB Easy access from front-opening door Tilt pointer on hanging yoke Effi cient cooling with no light spill Unique rotating barn door with 4 individually rotating blades

22 9 329H 2000/2500W TUNGSTEN The 329H has long been the industry standard for 2.5K units and is a favourite Single Lens Luminaires in theatres, opera houses and concert halls the world over. Unlike most products on the market which use GY16 lamps, Robert Juliat uses a G22 lamp socket which guarantees the 329H s reliability, holding the lamp securely in place to ensure there is no electrical arcing, even when the fi xture is pointing vertically downward. The socket also offers a longer lamp life and enables the use of a 2500W lamp. Ideal for medium to large venues and for rental companies, the 329H is now a classic! Single Lens Luminaires features (see pages 4 & 5) Lens size: 200mm (8") G22 socket accepts 2000W and 2500W lamp Choice of 3 lenses Fresnel, PC & PB Easy access from front-opening door Tilt pointer on hanging yoke Smooth-running lamp adjustment from front or rear Unique rotating barn door with 4 individually rotating blades

26 13 Focus FOCUS ON OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS While not expressly designed for outdoor use, Robert Juliat lanterns have a number of features which make it possible to use them outdoors. Power cables are hardwired to help prevent water ingress and there are few moving parts, especially in the Fresnels and PCs, to be damaged by the elements. Ventilation grids, on the top and bottom of the units, aid water drainage regardless of fi xture tilt and speed the drying process after rain. The durable steel construction enables fi xtures to withstand heat and cold and a surprising amount of wind and rain, making Robert Juliat lanterns a popular choice for outdoor theatres, concerts and festivals. Long term use in festivals throughout France at Avignon, Marseille and Aix-en-Provence are testament to this. Robert Juliat fi xtures are also used in festivals as diverse as those at Cartagena (Tunisia), Bayreuth (Germany), Athens (Greece), Singapore, Montreux (Switzerland) and Ravenna (Italy). To maximize the use of our profi le spots outside, specifi cally designed weatherproof housings are available on the market.

28 15 PROFILE SPOTS EXCLUSIVE DESIGNS, OUTSTANDING OPTICS Profile Spots Robert Juliat wanted to design an optically superior fi xture which would provide the solution to the many different needs of its customers more comprehensively than any other fi xture. The current range of Robert Juliat zoom profi les are the result of consultation with endusers, from across a wide range of disciplines, on what would make the ideal profi le fi xture. The result is an unparalleled combination of exclusive operational features, mechanical and optical quality, modularity, versatility and ease of maintenance. We offer a comprehensive zoom range covering all angles, from the very wide needed for smaller venues and short throw applications to the very narrow for the long throw of large scale venues. The zoom lenses give fl exibility to each unit and, combined with the quality of light offered, provide a product to fi t all sizes of budget, big and small. Lighting designers, technicians and business owners alike value Robert Juliat profi les for their exclusive operational features, reliability, fast maintenance and availability of spare parts, and the cost savings all these afford.

29 16 SX OPTICAL SYSTEM The Robert Juliat optical system implemented in all profi les and followspots is based upon double condenser optics and a variable zoom. This ensures the maximum amount of light, a fl at, even beam with no hotspot, and excellent image projection at all beam angles. Images and shutter cuts are projected, with unparalleled sharpness, across the full beam width, in marked contrast to ellipsoidal optical systems. Factory-aligned optics ensure the same beam aspect in each fi xture, even after a change of lamp, so no time-consuming lamp realignment is necessary. High quality lenses come as standard, and not as an optional extra at additional cost. The variable zoom feature means there is no need to purchase, change or store additional lens tubes, thereby saving money, time and space. The fl at beam gives more coverage per fi xture, which means fewer fi xtures, less cabling, fewer dimmer channels, lower running costs and less maintenance time. Multi-function double gate: Simultaneous use of gobos (A-size metal or glass) and iris. Sharp focus of both gobo and shutter Shutter gate: Up to 8 shutters. Remove shutters for easy maintenance or tuck fully inside gate for secure transport SX optical system: Double condenser optics for the best optical quality Factory set optical train: No re-alignment even after lamp change Lens tube lock feature: Secures rotating lens tube against unwanted movement Tilt reference: Tilt pointer on yoke for rapid re-positioning User-friendly shutter-lock system: Secures shutters setting in any circumstances (locking effi cient up to 4 shutters) And also: Bodywork: strong sheet metal construction for durability and lightness Moving parts: smooth at all times, even when hot Easy access to all parts: easy cleaning, re-lamping and maintenance Captive knobs and handles: additional security when working at height or in transit Spare parts and accessories: uniform across the tungsten or discharge range, reducing running costs

30 17 OVERVIEW Profile Spots 90 rotating lens tube / gate / front accessories holder: Rotation of the projected image is always possible while the lamp remains vertical no need to move the yoke Single and double colour runners: Variety of sizes to match local standards Variable zoom: Independent control of image size and focus. Focus handles on both sides for simultaneous operation Easy focus reference: Graduated scale on side of lantern; fast and easy refocusing Internal glass filter holder: Long term use of durable coloured, dichroic or textured glass When I arrive at a theatre and see Robert Juliat fi xtures, I feel reassured. Reassured because with the RJ profi les, I can do what I want to do, not just what they allow me to do. Reassured because my gels have a true unadulterated effect. Reassured because there is a wide range of angles to suit each situation. It is obvious that the RJ engineers have both the theatre technicians and lighting designers in mind when they create their fi xtures. Albert FAURA (Spain), Lighting Designer of the Fura dels Baus opera company, winner of the MAX Award for Performing Arts lighting design in 1999

31 18 TUNGSTEN 600 SX SERIES 1000/1200W TUNGSTEN Perhaps the most versatile of the Juliat profi les, the 600 SX is the classic 1K/1.2K theatre fi xture. Available with 3 different variable zoom options to cover every throw distance required, the 600 SX is equally 614 SX happy with on-stage positions, overhead and on side booms, on prosceniums and front of house. Its advanced functions and optical quality make this fi xture indispensable in opera houses, theatres and studios.

38 25 Focus FOCUS ON TV STUDIO APPLICATIONS Everyday, thousands of Robert Juliat 2500W profi le spots are used in many TV studios throughout the world. TV Lighting Designers use them as key lights for several important 2006 STLD Award reasons: Controllability Close-up shots require maximum light output, positioned to allow for camera angles and scenery placement, and at a low angle to avoid creating shadows on the facial features. Such limitations mean Fresnels are diffi cult to use: barn doors give poor control over beam size and shape and the spread of light differs with the zoom setting. Robert Juliat profi les, however, offer great light output together with precise control of beam dimensions and shape, making it easy to isolate the speaker with light, highlight his face from his surroundings and compensate for different skin tones. Quality of beam Robert Juliat profi les generate a fl at, even beam with no hot spot or chromatic diffraction which is vital under the close scrutiny of cameras. Perfect control of light intensity can be achieved by broadening or narrowing the beam size using the zoom optics without affecting colour temperature, while precise beam size and shape is possible using up to 8 carefully placed masking shutters. Painting a picture Hard edges, harsh shadows and light intensity can be reduced, using frosted glass placed in the internal glass holder located within an RJ profi le. This allows important smoothing of the light while the shape of face can be enhanced with the addition of a well-positioned fi ll light. Such control not only gives interesting contrast but also enables subtle, precise variations. Information given by Jean Hennequin, Head TV Lighting Designer at RTL Group, Belgium.

40 27 FOLLOWSPOTS INNOVATION WITH EXCELLENCE Followspots Since designing the fi rst HMI followspot, Pixie, in 1975, Robert Juliat has become the preferred manufacturer for lighting designers and operators alike. To produce a powerful followspot is not a diffi cult task. To make a followspot with exceptional quality of beam, dimming ability, gobo projection, AND an outstanding light output, all wrapped in an ergonomically pleasing package, is the real challenge and one in which only Robert Juliat has emerged as market leader. Long considered the best followspots on the market, Robert Juliat followspots are used in every type of venues from the smallest cabaret to the largest stadium, for both touring and fi xed shows throughout the world. Opera houses love them for their superb dimming capabilities while rental houses benefi t from a fast return on their investment. Equipment-sensitive studio environments appreciate the beam s fl at-fi eld with no hotspot. Robert Juliat followspots are available in short or long throw versions and with different wattages and lamp types to suit every application. Condenser optics give a fl at, even beam with optimum light output, and variable zoom optics maintain sharp focus at every beam angle. Each Robert Juliat followspot comes with a full range of accessories and a wealth of ergonomic features for comfortable and effi cient operation.

41 28 ULTRA COMPACT RANGE CRICKET 1000/1200W TUNGSTEN The smallest of the Robert Juliat followspot range, Cricket is a 1000/1200W tungsten unit with the optical excellence of its larger counterparts. With its ultra compact CRICKET (1116) dimensions and low power consumption, Cricket followspot is easy to use and can fi t into the smallest of spaces. A 'push/ pull' colour changer, 100% fully closing iris and an A-size gobo holder are provided as standard, forming a perfect introduction to Robert Juliat for discerning schools, amateur dramatics and smaller venues. Variable zoom optics Factory pre-set optical train requiring no adjustment of the lamp Fine balance Easy access to components Removable fully closing iris A-size glass and metal gobo holder

42 29 BUXIE 575W MSD Followspots Buxie is the little spot with the powerful punch. The electronic PSU is quiet under performance conditions and is fi xed to the yoke for space saving. The 2,000-hour, 575W MSD HR lamp, lends the user the confi dence of hot re-strike for rapid action BUXIE (1124) following any unexpected power failure.

43 30 COMPACT RANGE TRUSS SPOTS The complete Ultra Compact range and all short-throw versions of the Compact range are easily adapted for use as truss spots. When mounted on the dedicated truss mount stand (JPP) with an adjustable yoke*, each spot presents the perfect balance and projection angle for this application. The separate PSU can be mounted remotely from the followspot and, without the excess weight of a built-in PSU, the balance in truss position remains unaffected. Colour changers are available in a choice of two kinds to suit available space. The 'push/pull' colour changer unit is positioned horizontally and allows the simultaneous use of multiple fi lters and is useful for overhead use. The 'boomerang' version automatically self-cancels each fi lter for speed of use and sits vertically beneath the followspot. Compact, RJ truss spots are ideal for use in TV and fi lm studios, theatres, at concerts and live events or anywhere you need a high quality, overhead solution.

50 37 The brightness of the Lancelot was a deciding factor: as more than 2,700 units of 1200W moving lights were used, it needed to cut through all this amount of light. The Lancelot is a well designed followspot with an excellent optical system a high quality product giving excellent performance. Robert Juliat products are excellent! Mr. Sha XIAOLAN (China) Director of Lighting Design for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and Paralympics Opening & Closing Ceremonies

51 38 GRAND RANGE MASTER CONTROL To aid lighting designers in co-ordinating the appearance of each followspot at all times, Robert Juliat have introduced a twochannel Master Control on its motorised dimmer shutter. This enables the designer to achieve complete synchronisation of fades on each followspot directly from the console. The Master Control also helps the designer to set limits on beam intensity, allowing the followspot operator individual control over intensity, but within the upper and lower parameters set by the lighting desk. For instance, if channel 1 is at 20%, and channel 2 at 80%, the operator will be able to action the dimmer shutter only between 20% and 80%. This function is indispensable to synchronise both timing and intensity on big events and TV shows and is unique to Robert Juliat motorised followspots. Safety switch: Protection against accidental UV exposure Removable assemblies: Fast-plug cable connectors and complete component assemblies (mirror, condenser set and lamp house assembly) save maintenance and cleaning time Gobo holder: Glass and metal gobos Hot restrike lamp: All followspots are hot restrike for instantaneous re-ignition in case of power installation failure Factory set optical train: Travels safely within followspot and requires no time-consuming realignment on arrival.

60 47 Focus FOCUS ON ARCHITECTURAL APPLICATIONS Architectural lighting frequently requires high quality image projection with a high light output. Robert Juliat profi les meet these criteria and are among the best gobo projectors in the world both in and outdoors. The fl at fi eld and clean light output ensures both metal and glass gobos are projected crisply across the full width of the beam at every beam angle. Zoom lenses allow gobo images to be re-sized quickly and focus to be fi netuned. Shutter and gobo can be in focus simultaneously, producing the clean masking effects which are essential in architectural environments. Today, exterior projection is used, not only in decorative architectural lighting, but also for advertising and promotional applications. As a consequence, a number of high profi le brands have taken advantage of this stunning form of advertising using Robert Juliat for top quality projection, while venues and prime-located buildings have been quick to recognise the valuable revenue that can be earned from renting out prominent sites for projected advertising. This fast return on investment also makes them particularly interesting for rental companies. Discharge profi les, such as the 575W MSR Quincy or the 250W CDM-T Figaro, are ideal for corporate work, projecting high colour temperature custom images with true colour rendition of logos. For large outdoor displays such as son-et-lumiere and festivals which require a high light output over long throw distances, Robert Juliat D Artagnan, Cyrano and Lancelot can project images up to 500m (1,600 ft) with outstanding clarity and impact.

The extremely fl at fi eld beam of a Robert Juliat fi xture ensures that the full amount of light is being used to maximum effi ciency across the full diameter of the fi eld giving the best quality of light, for the widest variety of use. Robert Juliat views the work of each lighting designer with the greatest respect and therefore prefers to answer your queries on a case by case basis. This way we can guarantee you accurate information suited to your purpose rather than have you rely on a table of general statistics. Photo: Holiday on Ice
