The MAC Viper Quadray is a never-before-seen, multiple-beam effect that adds a whole new dimension to the lighting designer toolbox. Available as an easy-to-install front lens replacement kit for any standard MAC Viper AirFX, the Quadray allows for projection of 1, 2, 3 or 4 individually-controllable rays of light for all-new static or dynamic possibilities in mid-air effects. It includes an efficient effects engine that allows designers to create a whole new variety of looks that would otherwise be hard, or even impossible, to program via a lighting console.
The MAC Viper Quadray houses the same high-quality feature set as the MAC Viper AirFX, including a vibrant color mixing system and stunning aerial effects, and has inherited the same compact form, impressive speed and superior light quality from a 1000-watt lamp.

Used Moving Lights
Moving lights, or intelligent lighting as they are sometimes called, are basically a type of stage lighting that is able to move due to its integrated mechanical elements, which go beyond the moving parts that are found in more traditional, non-moving lighting.
Automated lighting such as moving lights is highly valued by stage lighting technicians as through them, it is possible to create highly complex special effects that simply cannot be made using standard, non-moveable lights. It should be noted however, that when it comes to intelligent lighting, the real intelligence lies with the programmer of the show, rather than the lighting equipment or any operator.
Moving head lights, also called moving head luminaires, are highly versatile lighting instruments capable of performing multiple lighting functions at once. They have largely superseded the use of multiple non-moving lights to create special effects, which required many lights and a large amount of skill on behalf of the operators.
Moving lights are hooked up to a lighting control console and send data to it in one of three ways ?? through an Ethernet control (a relatively new technology), analogue control (now almost obsolete), or DMX, (which is now the industry standard).
So long as they have been properly programmed, the optics of wiggly lights can be altered in many ways, allowing for the ??personality? of the lights to be adapted almost instantaneously, depending on the requirements of the operator. Typically, moving lights will be pre-programmed before a production and controlled using simple commands, although some more experience operators may prefer to control them ??live?, if they have the experience to do so.
