Showpix LED Moving Lights

...rray of 127 homogenous 3-watt LEDs with an output of 24,000 RGB lumens. These pixels offer unlimited visual possibilities by projecting not just washes of color, but also displaying images and other eye-catching effects that transform the fixture head into a display device.

Showpix is equipped with a PixelArt™ collection of up to 255 custom created media files and images designed specifically for the product. Users can easily upload their own files and images through the new HES Echo™ application, a software program offering content visualization, management and upload capabilities as well as RDM management features. Instantaneous conversion of many file formats automatically optimizes or “supercharges the images and maps the files to the 127 LED pixels of Showpix. The user can see this mapping displayed on their computer prior to uploading to the Showpix.

Showpix is controlled using a standard DMX lighting console. Many of Showpix's features allow for user creativity, including color mixing, rotation, scale, wipes, dissolves, transitions between layers, stRobing and dimming. In addition, content can be mapped across numerous Showpix fixtures to allow for full stage imagery using a software process called Pixellage™.* Another new feature, DMX Scratch™, allows a user to synchronize the frames of a media file to music during a show in real time. A user-selectable pixel mapping protocol also allows the user to have individual control of each of the 127 LEDs for some creative programming effects.

In addition to creative benefits, Showpix offers economic benefits. Because there are no lamps to replace, this also means there are no associated labor costs involved. There are also lower maintenance costs because of the fixture's limited moving parts. This reduces the total cost of ownership as compared to traditional light fixtures.

LED Moving Lights

LED moving lights are used for stage lighting and to illuminate important scenes. Unlike regular lights these lights have additional automated capabilities and mechanical abilities that regular lights simply don’t have. The LED moving lights most commonly utilized for stage performances also have the ability to produce intricate special effects. Featuring immense versatility and multi-functionality, LED moving lights have almost completely replaced the out of date non-moving lights used in the past. When used properly LED moving lights have the ability to change the complete personality of a show. Most shows preprogram the lighting for their shows, which will decrease the chances of human errors during a live performance. Moving lights are usually controlled via a lighting control console from a booth, which communicates with a control signal. Data from the control signal is then sent to an analogue, Ethernet control or DMX. Generally, moving lights are controlled by DMX protocol, which consists of 5-pin XLR connectors and shielded cables. Just like other types of moving lights, LED moving lights can be easily altered. Some variables that can be changed include the color of the light, intensity of the light, pattern of light, swing pattern, and speed. The only disadvantage of using LED moving lights instead of analogue lights is that take more time to program and get used to. However, there are many expert programmers and LED moving light operators out there that can easily control the multiple features of the lighting board console. Innovative LED moving lights are now trying to integrate digital projectors with the lights. They will be able to control the intensity of moving lights, the focus of the lights, as well as the video content display behind the lights.
