| Ambi Illuminators
A Different Kind of Illuminator |
|
When you need exceptional light evenness and portability,
Ambi's your best choice for illuminating test transparencies.
Ambi's different because it has an external light source - either a lamp mounted on its stand, or a nearby dedicated light source matching the key light. The illuminant is directed at the adjustable mirror on Ambi's rear side, and light is then transferred through the illuminator's color-corrected diffuser panel to light the test target. Ambi's illumination is inherently even because its light source is remote from the diffuser. The test transparency slips easily in front of the diffuser panel, and is adjusted with a built-in leveling device. Ambi has a removable front hood. |

Only Ambi Lets You Customize Camera Set-Up to Shooting Conditions  | Because its light source is external, Ambi lets you alternate between quartz, HMI, fluorescent, daylight and other illuminants. Used with different lamp types, Ambi provides test transparency illumination that is precisely color-matched to the types of lighting a camera will encounter. Setting up a camera's color matrix to several different illuminants, and then using the appropriate stored matrix setting during a shoot, can dramatically improve visual quality and consistency. |
Ambi Specifications Model | Ambi-2 | Size (closed) | 20x24x8.5" | Size (open) | 20x24x23" | Weight | 16 lbs. | Format | 16:9 and 4:3 | Companion Combi OSGs | 8x13.5" Wide |
Sturdily yet elegantly constructed of extruded-aluminum, stainless steel and Delrin, Ambi sets up in seconds on a standard 5/8" light stand. The optional AmbiStand holds the illuminator and has multidirectional locking wheels. While versatile Ambi is used most often on a stand or sitting on a desk/table or bench, it may also be hung from a studio grid. Companion Products
We recommend that Ambi be used with Combi OSG test transparencies because of their accuracy and ease of use (also see The Ambi/Combi System). DSC test products are covered by one or more patents: US4779136 and 5350256 - with other patents pending. Go to "What Users Say" and read about the industry's leading Ambi/Combi users! |
