LOS ANGELES - Lighting up the “front of the house” for a major performance has never been easier - no matter how gigantic the “house” may be.

The Vision Scan 575 has everything needed to tackle ultra-large stage venues with brawn, brilliance, style and ease.

It features two independent gobo wheels, the first with 3 lithographic, 1 glass and 3 metal rotating/indexing gobos, and the second with 7 static metal gobos. Gobos can be overlaid to provide a vast array of combinations, and theres also gobo scrolling and a gobo shake effect. For even greater variety, all gobos are easily interchangeable via the units convenient Slot-Lock gobo replacement system.
Another exciting effect is a 3-facet prism, which rotates in both directions at variable speeds. The Vision Scan 575 can produce 8 colors plus white, as well as split colors, and also features color scrolling.
