ETC unveils High End Systems MegaPix and GigaPix, new compact pixel wash fixtures featuring a Fresnel lens system, smooth zoom range and dimming, RGBL color engine, and an IP54 weather rating. MegaPix and GigaPix are designed for indoor and outdoor events, festival rigs, summer theatre, and more.
“With MegaPix and GigaPix, designers get the stunning output characteristics of a Fresnel lens, with the power and versatility of a pixel optical system,” the announcement states. “The patented Integrated Fresnel Lens (IFL) System goes edge to edge, increasing output throughout the entire zoom range, creating more powerful narrow beams, while yielding a beautiful Fresnel-like projection. The IFL system is also protected against buildup of fog condensate, minimizing maintenance requirements, while providing a crisp, clear front lens show after show.”
A custom RGBL LED engine, along with a 2000-10000 K CT channel, are designed to bring vibrant color and elegant white light washes to the stage. Developed by ETC's team of color scientists, the CT Channel is designed for the highest TM-30 Preference rating (P1) throughout the entire range.
Automated Lighting Product Manager Matt Stoner says, “MegaPix and GigaPix are designed for exceptional performance at every intensity and every color point. The fixtures maintain high output throughout the entire CT Channel. Pair that with smooth dimming and a fast, quiet zoom, and these fixtures really stand out among their predecessors.”
Tania Lesage, ETC Market Manager, adds, “We’re excited about the versatility an IP54 rating brings to the MegaPix and GigaPix line. It also means easier maintenance for those times that users need to get inside a fixture, with no need to ensure a vacuum seal when they’re put back together. They are quickly ready to go back out on indoor and outdoor stages.”
The fixture line features inclusive macros with built-in color or flex macros with customizable colors. Each look is highlighted by HaloGraphic Pixel Definition technology, outlining each cell with a slight diffusion to enhance cell-to-cell visuals. Users maintain modular control of each pixel with Art-Net or sACN control options.
MegaPix weighs 9.2 kg (20 lb) and has a 10,000 lumen output with a 4.5°-50° zoom range. GigaPix weighs 15 kg (33 lb) and has a 17,000 lumen output with a 4.5°-55° zoom range.
