Elation Releases Vision 250 DMX
Moving-Mirror Scanner
LOS ANGELES -- Elation Professional has opened a lot of eyes in the lighting-products market with the introduction of the Vision 250 DMX Scanner. A moving-mirror fixture that’s loaded with gobos, colors and other electrifying visual effects like prisms and filters, the Vision 250 serves as a more affordable alternative to moving-head spot-type fixtures.
A smaller, 250-watt version of Elation’s Vision 575 DMX Scanner, the Vision 250 utilizes a moving mirror to create and combine lighting effects. Designed for use in small theaters, dance clubs and institutions such as churches and schools, the new unit provides substantial room-coverage, eye-popping optics, high output, and automatic focusing. It shares many of the same illuminating features found on more expensive moving-head fixtures.
"The Vision 250’s dazzling colors and animated patterns will vitalize your venue without breaking your budget," said John Lopez, Product Manager at Elation Professional. "With a list price of $2,199.95, clubs and auditoriums are already beginning to see the light: They won’t have to rent these types of high-end lighting effects any longer, because now they can simply buy their own!"
The Vision 250 is packed with versatile, high-tech effects that can be customized to create a spectacular light show. In addition to Elation Professional’s signature colors and gobo patterns, the unit features an extra effects wheel that contains a rotating 3-facet prism, frost filter, 32K filter, 56K filter and UV filter.
The Vision 250 includes 1 motorized color wheel with 11 dichroic color filters (plus white) and 1 motorized gobo wheel with 6 interchangeable 26.9mm indexing gobos (4 metal, 1 glass, and 1 dichroic). A double condenser lens system with motorized focusing allows for the creation of ultra-sharp, vibrant images. Variable strobing ranges from 1_10 flashes per second.
Compatible with any DMX controller, such as Elation’s Show Designer, the Vision 250 features 8- and 16-bit pan/tilt resolution and 14_16 channel operation. Pan movement range is 170 degrees, and tilt movement range is 110 degrees. The beam angle is 15 degrees, with optional 12-degree and 18-degree lenses sold separately.
The Vision 250 also includes remote lamp on/off, a combined mechanical dimmer/shutter, and smooth microstep-driven dimming. The unit incorporates many user conveniences, including a four-digit L.E.D. menu (for fixture-characteristic settings and readouts on lamp usage and DMX values), and built-in self-test mode for all effects.
"The Vision 250 DMX Scanner puts on a truly amazing show, with lighting effects comparable to those found on more expensive moving-head fixtures," Lopez said. "It’s fully loaded and capable of generating the superior visual effects demanded by today’s high-energy concerts and theatrical productions."
Weighing in at 42lbs., the Vision 250 measures 25 in x 12 in x 8.5 in. An optional Road Case, model DRCV250, is available from Elation Professional.
