BLUESHAPE - Shaping
Power Demands
If it's not BLUESHAPE, it's just a battery...

O

ver the last 12 years, BLUESHAPE
has been continuously dedicated
to developing exciting and innovative
power products for the broadcast
industry.
The original V-lock battery range
of the early years has evolved to the
super robust GRANITE range and this
year, into GRANITE TWO. Whereas
the GRANITE range addressed the
problem of damage to the external
housing, especially during rental
usage, the new GRANITE TWO has
an added feature of built-in Wi-Fi
transmission. This innovation will
enable studio crews to monitor
parameters of one or several batteries
from within an App on their iOS and
Android mobile devices. Of course, the
regular features for which BLUESHAPE
batteries are renowned, such as
superior capacity, higher draw, safety,
and reliability will remain.
Moreover, a smaller footprint

battery, the GRANITE MINI will also
be premiered at this year's NAB.
This mini battery, available in two
capacities, will similarly feature
'GRANITE' robustness and Wi-Fi
transmission.
BLUESHAPE is always at the
forefront where battery safety is
concerned. Apart from building
batteries to a high degree of intrinsic
safety, the company also tries to assist
users in solving air transportation
headaches. Already, batteries are
being supplied with protective
contact covers, and now custom air
transportation cases are offered, each
able to carry up to five batteries. Both
case models are IATA certified by an
international body and approved to
carry all BLUESHAPES's lithium-ion
battery models greater than 160Wh.
BLUESHAPE tries to make life a little
bit easier when air transportation of
batteries is concerned. Its target is to

be always on the forefront. Typically,
the team at BLUESHAPE likes to put
it this way: If it's not BLUESHAPE, it's
just a battery.
However, the company's product
line-up is not limited to batteries.
Take, for instance, its range of
battery chargers, offering a choice
of single to 8-channel simultaneous
fast charging. The product list is
indeed, quite comprehensive - quality
metal cast V-plates, the BUBBLEPACK
solution and accessories for smaller
gear, various QUICKCHANGER models,
cables, adapters, and many others.
A particular innovation emerging
from the design team in the last few
years is the 'Power Station' concept.
The need to have equipment working
in remote places where mains
power is not so readily available has
prompted BLUESHAPE to develop
these so called 'Power Stations' that
are high-technology devices, designed

to endlessly power up equipment,
including high-draw HD cameras,
using normal V-lock batteries.
Power Stations are available in three
models including the new RUGGED
model designed to work in hostile
environments. They offer a choice of
three output voltages (14V, 28V, and
48V) at a generous 560W maximum
output through XLR sockets.
The choice is quite obvious
- BLUESHAPE.
