The Claypaky Ultimo Hybrid is a breakthrough in hybrid lighting, offering a compact yet extraordinarily powerful solution for professionals seeking versatility, durability, and innovation. Engineered with IP66-rated protection, this fixture excels in both indoor and outdoor environments, allowing seamless operation under challenging weather conditions. Whether used in beam, spot, wash, or profile mode, Ultimo Hybrid effortlessly transitions between applications, eliminating the need for multiple fixture types. Its compact size houses an impressive range of professional-grade features that cater to even the most demanding lighting designers.
At the heart of Ultimo Hybrid is a robust 550W short-arc lamp, delivering up to 19,000 lumens of high-intensity output with a lifespan of 4,000 hours. This powerful source ensures consistent performance across extended productions, from touring concerts to permanent installations. Its advanced optical system supports a motorized linear zoom ranging from 2° to 29° in beam mode and 3° to 52° in spot mode, providing designers the flexibility to shape scenes with stunning precision. Combined with high-efficiency optics and a 160mm front lens, Ultimo Hybrid produces sharp, defined beams and beautifully even washes.
Creative expression is elevated further with Ultimo Hybrid’s advanced four-focal plane shutter system. This feature offers razor-sharp edge control and enables effects like the “Total Curtain” blackout, giving designers full customization over each blade’s position. The fixture’s Absolute Positioning system tracks and restores pan and tilt settings in real time—even after a power interruption—ensuring perfect repositioning and reducing setup time. This intelligent functionality makes Ultimo Hybrid an ideal choice for complex lighting sequences and installations requiring consistent accuracy.
For color performance, Ultimo Hybrid is equipped with a linear CMY color mixing system, a linear CTO filter, and a 14-color dichroic wheel that includes a deep red for dramatic impact. It features a rotating gobo wheel with eight HD interchangeable gobos and a static gobo wheel with 18 patterns, plus six beam reducers capable of narrowing output to a razor-thin 0.5°. Further enhancing its effects engine are two rotating prisms (4-facet and 8-facet), a linear frost filter, and a continuously rotating aluminum animation wheel—all designed to add dimension and dynamic texture to every beam of light.
Smooth, fast movement is another hallmark of the Ultimo Hybrid, offering 540° pan and 270° tilt with selectable speed profiles. An electronic brake system ensures rock-solid positioning during operation, while mechanical pan/tilt locks facilitate safe transport and maintenance. With its integrated motorized zoom, focus, iris control, 16-bit dimming, and precision strobe effects, Ultimo Hybrid delivers complete beam and intensity control at your fingertips.
The fixture’s software and connectivity options are equally robust. It supports multiple control protocols including DMX, Art-Net, RDM, sACN, and CRMX TiMo FX, with a built-in web server for firmware upgrades and remote diagnostics. The user-friendly interface includes a graphic LCD display and long-life self-charging battery for data access even when unplugged. Rear panel connections include locking 5-pin XLR, RJ45, and PowerCON True1 in/out connectors, ensuring secure and flexible setup.
Built with a rugged aluminum and steel chassis, Ultimo Hybrid includes fast-lock Omega clamps for safe hanging in any orientation. Thermal management is handled by forced-air ventilation and protective thermal sensors, while safety specs ensure operation up to 45°C ambient temperatures. It consumes a maximum of 940W and features total heat dissipation of 1872 BTU/hr, supporting reliable performance across a wide range of environments.
Ultimo Hybrid is more than just a fixture—it’s a complete lighting solution that blends power, precision, and versatility. From immersive light shows to tightly choreographed theatrical cues, it empowers designers to realize bold visions with ease. In an industry where every beam matters, Ultimo Hybrid stands as the pinnacle of hybrid lighting technology.
