SHOWPIX is both a high-power LED wash light and a programmable fixture that can display graphics. Its 18-inch diameter head features a circular array of 127 homogenous 3-watt LEDs, with an output of 24,000 RGB lumens.

These pixels offer unlimited visual possibilities by projecting not just color washes, but images and other eye-catching effects, transforming the fixture head into a display device. Moreover, the media frames can be synchronized to music in real time. Through a software process called Pixellage™, instantaneous conversion of many file formats automatically optimizes or “supercharges” the images and maps the files to the 127 SHOWPIX LEDs. Prior to uploading to the SHOWPIX, users can see this mapping on a monitor. Another new feature, DMX Scratch™, provides real time synchronization of the media file frames to music during a show. A pixel-mapping protocol also gives the user individual control of each of the 127 LEDs.
