Forty-eight Nexus 4x4 fixtures were placed in vertical columns equidistantly on stage and used for their pixel-mapping capabilities to accompany hip-hop group and headliner Wu-Tang Clan, and performances of Jurassic 5, Beach House band, Puscifer, Pretty Lights and Two Door Cinema Club.
"Nexus 4x4 were stacked into six columns of eight and they were built onto traveller truss so they could be slid on and off the stage," said Todd Roberts, owner of Visions Lighting, a premier lighting, staging, video and production company that provided the fixtures.
Nexus 4x4 has 16 20-watt RGB COB LEDs and is capable of delivering at once the sizzle of a pixel mapping display and a robust light output. The combination of COB emitters and a clever reflector design yields a striking, diffused light richly drenched in saturated hues. Nexus 4x4 accepts Art-Net, Kling-Net and DMX protocols and features interlocking hardware to build large arrays.
"Nexus 4x4 is a beautiful, versatile fixture that looks great in arrays and really shines in a live setting," said DeAnna Padgett, national sales manager for Chauvet Professional.
