Product Overview

This chapter describes the features of the StudioPix™ Pixelation

Luminaire with custom content and Echo software.

The StudioPix™ 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 13.5-inch diameter head features a circular LED array with an output of 11,500 RGB lumens. In addition to displaying washes of color, StudioPix utilizes an internal graphics engine to provide graphic control of two images.

StudioPix is equipped with a collection of over 400 custom created 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 StudioPix display and allows you to preview this mapping on your computer prior to uploading to the StudioPix fixture.

The DMX Scratch™ feature lets you synchronize the frames of a media file to audio during a show in real time.

StudioPix provides multiple protocol choices for a wide range of DMX control.
