An inexhaustible visual effects generator

All the tools and… very much more

On a catalogue, it is hard to illustrate the sharpness of an image, the beauty of the effects, and the incredible combinations which can be achieved with the Alpha Spot HPE 1500, the most complete special effects spotlight on the market:

 • One wheel with 8 fixed gobos

• 12 rotating gobos on 2 wheels

• All the gobos are made of high quality dichroic glass with original designs

• With two wheels, the gobos can be overlapped to create a morphing effect

• A five-faced rotating prism can multiply any image

• The “gobo fine” channel ensures utmost positioning precision, which is essential for long throw applications, when several spotlights are used together or when the projected image has to be perfectly oriented in space.

• The operator may use the “Dyna-Cue-Creator” function to simplify programming, with its infinite pre-programmed combinations of highly attractive refined effects, that are often impossible with other lights.

The Alpha Spot HPE 1500 animation disc is a special transparent glass plate with an uneven surface that deforms the projected image. As it turns, it generates textures that change and move continuously with varying speeds, depth of field or focus. With a suitable choice of gobos, it is possible to simulate typical theatrical effects, such as flames, waves, wind, fireworks, a liquid mass and a vortex. Extremely beautiful abstract patterns may also be created using specially worked glass discs. For example, using a microperforated gobo, you get a merry-go-round of precious crystals that chase each other.

The animation disc is fitted with a magnetic coupling system so it can be swapped quickly with other animation discs, available on re- quest.
