Product Overview
This chapter describes the features of the SHOWPIX
®
Pixelation
Luminaire with Stock content and Echo software.
The SHOWPIX
®
Pixelation Luminaire is a combination wide angle LED wash light on a moving
yoke and a high power display device viewed directly by an audience.
The 18-inch diameter head features a circular LED array with an output of 24,000 RGB lumens.
In addition to displaying washes of color, SHOWPIX utilizes an internal graphics engine to
provide graphic control of two images.
SHOWPIX is equipped with a Stock Content collection of over 400 images including animations
designed specifically for the product. You can easily upload your own files (up to 256) and
images through the Echo™ application, a software program offering content visualization,
management and upload capabilities as well as RDM management features. Echo converts many
file formats, automatically optimizes the images, maps the files to the SHOWPIX display and
allows you to preview this mapping on your computer prior to uploading to the SHOWPIX
fixture.
The DMX Scratch™ feature lets you synchronize the frames of a media file to music during a
show in real time.
With the Pixellage™ effect, you can map content across numerous SHOWPIX fixtures to allow
for full stage imagery.
SHOWPIX provides multiple protocol choices for a wide range of DMX control.
