Would a video mixer help? Roland makes some lesser expensive units. Something along the lines of the VR-3EX would give you the ability to switch between several different input sources, add HDMI to Cat6 converters for long runs and you should be in business. We use the older analog version of...

I was pretty pleased with the red and green performance and the amber can pop. I really like R127 cyc silk amber and the CSP can get really really close. I agree with gafftaper's assessment, but would add that they work well for dance; in our venue at least. As a school we do everything from...

I too would like deeper blues control of the lime emitter, but do like the confidence/comfort of having the ETC name on the instrument. I just aimed them at the cyc for a nice reference of the fixture out of the box.

Sorry for the long delay, but I put together a little video and it is finally up.

I am just pointing out that it does not come with the gel frame as a matter of fact. I have bought other conventional fixtures, lense tubes and such from ETC and a frame was always included, so I was surprised when this fixture was lacking one. I am only offering my observations/experiences for...

It didn't come with the frame to hold the gel. The face is built to accommodate one.

The CSPs are in and we are working them into our big dance show. Initial thoughts are that quality is really nice, lacking a gel frame (a must for diffussion), dimming curve looks great, the white is noticeably greenish. More to come as I work with them this week.

My facility has 25 of these coming and I will report back as soon as they get here. Hopefully with some pictures.

Video is up.

So it sounds like you butt them up to one another, do you get hot spots in the overlapping light fields? I love the roscolux cyc silk amber, how close can you get to that color with the SL660's?

The SL660 can be had for about $1500 at a local vendor near me. My concern is the width spread is said to be pretty good on the unit (sideways spread so units can be a distance from one another on the baton), which is great to some extent. But, I really like the uniformity (for block by block...

The Retail is in the $795 range iirc from this morning speaking to a rep. So street price will be less than retail, especially in quantity.

The ETC app sheet says D40 accessories will work with this fixture, so I a theorizing a less expensive D40. The body looks to be the same shape. Perhaps a polymer body, and yoke? Both appear to have a pretty extreme texture in the photos I have seen, unlike the D 40.

I was shocked by the sticker price, but Rick's comment makes it make more sense.

I received fluorescent work lights as part of my renovation last year and am looking to upgrade our smaller facility from metal halide work lights. The model hanging on my stage is a T5 4' twin lamp fixture that apparently costs in upwards of $560. Are there other more cost effect solutions in...
