Equipped with a powerful 575W Philips lamp and a high-output luminous-parabolic dichroic reflector optical system, the Vision Scan 575 offers users three beam angle positions - 18°, 20° or 22° - with bright output at each setting. For example, at 18° the output is an impressive 12470 lux.
A moving mirror fixture, the Vision Scan 575 is capable of quick movement and beams can sweep across a wide area, with movement of 170° pan and 80° tilt. It's equipped with an iris, and a frost filter plus it features two independent gobo wheels. The first wheel takes three lithographic, one glass and three metal rotating/indexing gobos, and the second holds seven static metal gobos. Gobos can be overlaid to provide a vast array of combinations, and there's also gobo scrolling and a gobo shake effect. All gobos are easily interchangeable.
Another effect is a three-facet prism, which rotates in both directions at variable speeds. The Vision Scan 575 can produce eight colours plus white, as well as split colours, and also colour scrolling. Equipped with 16 DMX channels, the Vision Scan 575 can be operated with any standard DMX controller, or it can be run stand-alone in sound-active mode. Special DMX control options include: 16 pan/tilt pre-programmed movements via DMX; built-in programs via DMX; and pan/tilt/gobo/colour and prism set to sound active mode via DMX. Up to 16 Vision Scan 575 units can be linked together and run master-slave.
Other features include: four -digit LED display, remote focus via DMX, mechanical dimming 0-100%, and mechanical high speed shutter and pulse effect. The Vision Scan 575 is fan-cooled and comes with a Philips MSR-575 575-watt, 1000-hour lamp. It measures 13.75"L x 15.5"W x 30.5"H, and weighs 65 lbs.
