NEW Clay Paky Ultimo Sharpy
Description
Clay Paky Ultimo Sharpy is a next-generation IP66-rated beam moving head built for high-impact aerial effects in touring, festivals, permanent installs, and broadcast. Building on the legacy of the original Sharpy, it is brighter, faster, and tougher than ever. At the heart of Ultimo Sharpy lies a custom 250W OSRAM short-arc High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp, designed for maximum output and sustainability.
Engineered for consistent performance indoors or outdoors, Ultimo Sharpy delivers razor-sharp, halo-free beams and ultra-smooth movement in a compact form factor. With 100,000 lux at 20 meters (9,300+ fc at 65 feet), it provides the punch to read clearly through haze, large venues, and open-air stages while keeping rigging and transport practical.
Beam Output and Creative Tools
True CMY colour mixing supports everything from saturated looks to subtle pastels with seamless transitions. A built-in frost filter lets you quickly soften the tight beam into a smoother wash for wider coverage, while dual rotating prisms and gobos help build layered aerial effects with added depth for concerts and live events.
Quiet Operation and Camera-Ready Control
For noise-sensitive environments, LOW-NOISE mode reduces sound levels by 7 dB while maintaining 90% of the original light output, which is useful for theatre, corporate, and studio settings. High-resolution electronic dimming provides smooth fades and flicker-free output for broadcast and film workflows.
Movement Speed and Show Integration
Ultimo Sharpy is designed for precision and speed, featuring ultra-fast tilt and infinite pan rotation for uninterrupted motion and responsive time-coded programming. Sharpy Emulation Mode helps it fit into existing rigs without reprogramming, simplifying upgrades and mixed-fixture deployments.
Outdoor-Ready Design and Connectivity
An IP66-rated housing protects against rain and dust for touring and permanent outdoor installations, and the robust, lightweight design with ergonomic side handles supports easier handling, rigging, and maintenance. Control and networking options include DMX, Art-Net, RDM, sACN, and CRMX (Lumen Radio), plus locking 5-pin XLR and RJ45 in/out, PowerCon True1 in/out, a built-in web server, and full CloudIO compatibility.
Lamp Efficiency and Sustainability
The OSRAM HID lamp is rated up to 6,000 hours to reduce replacement cycles and downtime. Smart dimming technology helps protect the lamp during low-intensity cues, and the design includes recyclable components and a lower mercury footprint. Colour temperature is 7200K with CRI up to 74.
Marine Installation Option
Ultimo Sharpy is available with Marine Shield, Claypaky’s specialized treatment designed for cruise ships and marine installations. Combined with the IP66 housing, it adds targeted resistance to salt-laden air and corrosion to help reduce maintenance over time in demanding maritime conditions.
