ETC Introduces MegaPix and GigaPix, Featuring Patented Fresnel Lens System

ETC unveils High End Systems MegaPix and GigaPix, new pixel wash fixtures that offer high-impact features in a compact package. MegaPix and GigaPix deliver beautiful washes, backed by a Fresnel lens system, smooth zoom range, RGBL color engine, and flawless dimming. Weather-rated with an IP54 rating, MegaPix and GigaPix are a strong fit for indoor and outdoor events, festival rigs, summer theatre, and more.

With MegaPix and GigaPix, designers get the stunning output characteristics of a Fresnel lens, with the power and versatility of a pixel optical system. The patented Integrated Fresnel Lens (IFL) System goes edge to edge, increasing output throughout the entire zoom range, creating more powerful narrow beams, while yielding a beautiful Fresnel-like projection. The IFL system is also protected against buildup of fog condensate, minimizing maintenance requirements, while providing a crisp, clear front lens show after show.

A custom RGBL LED engine, along with a 2000-10000 K CT channel, deliver vibrant color and elegant white light washes to any stage. Developed by ETC's team of industry-leading color scientists, The CT Channel delivers the highest TM-30 Preference rating (P1) throughout the entire range.

Automated Lighting Product Manager Matt Stoner says, “MegaPix and GigaPix are designed for exceptional performance at every intensity and every color point. The fixtures maintain high output throughout the entire CT Channel. Pair that with smooth dimming and a fast, quiet zoom, and these fixtures really stand out among their predecessors.”

MegaPix and GigaPix are weather-rated with an IP54 rating. Whether used at indoor or outdoor shows, users can trust that the fixtures are protected against dust and rain.

Tania Lesage, ETC Market Manager, adds, “We’re excited about the versatility an IP54 rating brings to the MegaPix and GigaPix line. It also means easier maintenance for those times that users need to get inside a fixture, with no need to ensure a vacuum seal when they’re put back together. They are quickly ready to go back out on indoor and outdoor stages.”

Dynamic looks are readily accessible with the fixture line’s inclusive macros with built-in color or flex macros with customizable colors. Each look is highlighted by HaloGraphic Pixel Definition technology, outlining each cell with a slight diffusion to enhance cell-to-cell visuals. Users maintain modular control of each pixel with Art-Net or sACN control options.

MegaPix weighs 9.2 kg (20.3 lb) and has a 10,000 lumen output with a 4.5°-50° zoom range. GigaPix weighs 15 kg (33 lb) and has a 17,000 lumen output with a 4.5°-55° zoom range.
