Astera QuikBeam 4-Unit PrepCase Kit
Astera has expanded its lineup of wireless LED solutions with the release of the QuikBeam 4-Unit PrepCase Kit. Known for being a staple in the TV and film industry due to their high colour accuracy and cable-free operation, Astera’s latest offering provides a complete, battery-powered beam lighting solution in a compact, travel-ready format. The kit is designed to meet the demands of on-set production while offering the versatility required for quick-turnaround location work and high-end event lighting.
QuikBeam – Compact Wireless Performance
The QuikBeam is a compact, battery-powered beam light that utilises Astera’s established Titan LED engine. This ensures consistent colour rendering and seamless integration with other Astera fixtures already found in many film and television inventories. The fixture is capable of producing a tight, defined beam for architectural highlighting or mid-air effects, and its high CRI/TLCI ratings make it suitable for close-up talent lighting where colour fidelity is critical.
One of the primary advantages for the film and TV sector is the unit's wireless capabilities. With integrated CRMX for wireless DMX control and an internal battery, the QuikBeam allows lighting directors to place fixtures in difficult-to-reach locations without the need for power or data cabling. This significantly reduces setup times and maintains the clean aesthetic required for on-camera environments.
The PrepCase Kit – Efficiency on Location
The 4-Unit PrepCase Kit is specifically engineered for professional workflows where speed and organisation are paramount. The PrepCase serves as more than just a transport solution; it features an integrated charging system that allows all four units to be powered up simultaneously from a single mains connection. The case design also includes dedicated space for essential accessories, such as diffusers and mounting hardware, ensuring that a complete lighting setup is always at hand.
Each QuikBeam unit in the kit is designed for rapid deployment, featuring a range of mounting options that allow for quick attachment to stands, sets, or architectural features. The inclusion of a built-in display and intuitive controls on the fixture itself allows for rapid manual adjustments when a console is not available, a feature often required during the fast-paced nature of film and broadcast production.
Professional Control and Integration
The QuikBeam series benefits from full compatibility with the AsteraApp, allowing for remote monitoring of battery status, DMX addresses, and colour settings from a smartphone or tablet. This level of remote management is essential on large-scale sets where manual access to every fixture is impractical. Furthermore, the fixtures support traditional wired control for more permanent installations or complex studio setups.
The hybrid construction of the QuikBeam ensures durability in demanding environments, while its IP65 rating provides protection against dust and water, making it a reliable choice for outdoor filming and exterior location work. The integration of high-quality optics ensures a clean, flicker-free output, which is a fundamental requirement for modern high-frame-rate digital cinematography.
