The Vista also boasts a generic fixture model that makes changing fixtures easy. When a change is made, the Vista compares the two lights and adapts automatically - even if the replacement has a different feature set. For the operator, the desk provides splittable fader banks, a host of user-definable buttons and assignable encoder wheels to give you fingertip control of timing, chase speed and more.
A.C. also showed the TourSpot 575 and TourWash 575 moving head fixtures. The former includes a rotating wheel with seven indexable gobos, a remote focus control, three-position stepped beam angles (13°/18°/21°) plus frost effect, a rotating three-way prism and an eight-way colour wheel. The latter also includes CMY colour mixing with an additional eight-way colour wheel, remote zoom control (16-28°) and a directional lens for beam shaping.
But that wasn't all that A.C. had to offer: the latest Chroma-Q products included the Chroma-Q Mirror, a DMX-controlled motorized mirror attachment, the Chroma-Q Daylight PAR, which features a hot restrike lamp with an unusually high colour rendition, and the Chroma-Q Playback Controller. which requires no additional software or hardware to program and allows users to manually adjust Hold and Fade times for up to 25 programmable looks.
