Yes and no. For instance, if you are throwing R62 with a Series 3 Lustr, you are going to be much brighter than an S4 with a 750w HPL. Open white? No. Any non-amber color? Yeah.Only 10,000 lumens though, so the Lustr engine may not be 'FOH' suitable for those that need 750w equivalent output. You would have to use the HDR engine.
Yes, it has a City Theatrical Multiverse radio built into the Series 3 and the Desire Fresnel. Very cool stuff. And configuration is amazingly easy since Multiverse supports RDM as well.Wait, Wireless DMX built in to the fixture?
I remember seeing something about the NFC app a couple few months ago, I think our D&C guy was talking about it. but I didn't remember the wireless built-in. Great set of features.Yes, it has a City Theatrical Multiverse radio built into the Series 3 and the Desire Fresnel. Very cool stuff.

Don't forget the NFC chip and their new Set Light App? Oh man, talk about easy. You don't even have to have the fixture powered up to change the config. Your phone's NFC radio powers up the chip, writes the new config, and when the light is powered on, the firmware sees if the NFC chip has a new config and writes the new config first. This is gonna make life a LOT easier for rental houses!
An addition with a future, an powered USB port.
One suggested use is powering 3rd party wireless devices, though I'm not sure many use 5V.
What else will creative people do?
While X8 definately one ups X7, take a good look at the spectral chart above. The wild variations in the blue-cyan range will still drive painters and costumers nuts.
Task light?What else would you use it for?

It does have a powered USB port (used for firmware updates) What else would you use it for? Maybe a slow gobo rotator?
First answer is always to check with your local ETC dealer. There are new lenses for this series so your total buy-in will vary.The focus squints can charge his/her/their phone(s).
I'm getting some nefarious ideas, though. We'll need someone from ETC to talk about security on the USB port...
edit ps: Approximate street prices?
I'm not in the market to purchase or specify, I'm mostly curious as to how they compare to the prices of older designs.
Lacking the decoder ring or the secret double-knot spy handshake, the answers will remain occult.
