Ayrton Zooms in on the New MagicDot-SX

As part of the raft of new products released for 2016, Ayrton has launched the MagicDot-SX as the next in its new SX range.

MagicDot-SX is a compact, hybrid version of Ayrton's MagicDot-R, which was awarded LDI Product of the Year 2016 in the Effects category. MagicDot-SX includes the added features of a zoom capability and Lumen Radio wireless connectivity.

Its newly-developed 8:1 optical zoom has a fixed transmitting lens, no visible moving parts, and delivers a zoom range of 5° to 40°. With its 94mm diameter collimator positioned close to the transmitting lens, MagicDot-SX delivers a tight beam with up to 75% optical efficiency, while the short stroke of the zoom system permits MagicDot-SX to switch from intense Beam mode to sweeping Wash mode virtually instantaneously.

MagicDot-SX has identical physical dimensions and lens diameter to its MagicDot-R cousin, and is capable of the same ultra-quick, infinite rotation on the pan and tilt axes. This makes it the most compact washlight and fastest zoom moving head on the market, the company says.

In addition to DMX-RDM control, MagicDot-SX can be controlled via wireless CRMX TiMo RDM from LumenRadio.
