Claypaky Mini Xtylos Laser-Powered Beam Moving Head

Claypaky Mini Xtylos Overview

Generate exhilarating beams of light with the Claypaky Mini Xtylos , a compact moving head with unique optical and chromatic characteristics, making use of a tailor-made RGB laser source that s reliable, safe, and fully sealed. The Mini Xtylos s powerful engine and patent-pending optical group provides an incredible array of colors.

The Mini Xtylos offers linear virtual CTO, one effect wheel with two rotating and interchangeable prisms and one interchangeable frost filter, a 24-bit digital dimmer, a fast digital stop/strobe, and have an aperture range of 1° to 4° to produce their incredible beam effects. The motorized zoom and focus allow you to control the beam width and gobo size with ease. The unit also offers endless pan rotation in both directions, which can be controlled at various speeds. The front panel features an LCD display and a 5-button menu system, while the rear panel provides connections for 5-pin DMX I/O, powerCON I/O, and EtherCON. The fixture supports Art-Net, RDM, sACN, and DMX (27 channels). The Mini Xtylos includes two Omega mounting brackets and a powerCON power cord.

Note:

The Mini Xtylos (CJ3003) features an adjusted output which is fully homologated and does not require any FDA CDRH variance for the use in the United States.

High Energy Efficiency

Its power consumption and luminous efficacy are excellent. The laser engine power consumption is 12W, the equivalent of a low-consumption fixture, but the resulting light output easily exceeds any high-power beam moving light.

Full Beam with No Hot Spots

A special patent-pending design optical system turns the laser-emitted light into a solid, dense, saturated light beam without any visible hotspots. The beam aperture ranges from 1 to 4° , resulting in pencil beams that are of exceptional intensity, and cannot be reproduced by any other light sources, either LED or traditional.

Exclusive Turbo Color System

The Mini Xtylos uses laser technology with RGB additive color mixing. In contrast to the subtractive mixing used with discharge lamps, colored light beams are as bright as a white light beam. With the Mini Xtylos, you always have a Turbo-Red, a TurboBlue, and a Turbo-Green at your disposal, together with all their combinations, which are infinitely brighter than those produced by a traditional bulb. Color consistency is literally unequalled both across different fixtures and during lifetime. Lighting designers will finally be able to create their shows making extensive use of colors, without fear of them being overwhelmed by the rest of the lighting rig.

Amazing Mid-Air Effects

The range of effects is very wide and complete: one effect wheel with two rotating and interchangeable prisms and one interchangeable frost filter. These effects are enhanced by the laser source and by the visibility of the aerial colors, giving rise to never-seen-before mid-air effects.

Unmatched Dynamism

Effect and color changes alternate virtually instantaneously, in such a way that they are difficult for the human eye to perceive. Besides allowing lighting scenes to be changed very quickly and accurately, the speed of this change itself can be used as a breath-taking effect.

Safe Sealed Laser Module

The laser unit is housed in a safe, sealed module, which is not accessible to users. This module produces a beam of light with incredible optical characteristics: bright, perfectly collimated, uniformly mixed, and evenly distributed across its section. Unlike some discharge lamp fixtures, its beam comes with a negligible amount of heat, so there is no risk of heating up scenery and objects.

Small Dimensions

An extraordinarily compact housing, together with the most advanced electronics on the market, make the Mini Xtylos extremely fast and responsive to pan-tilt movements. Its compact size means it can be easily installed on pre-rigs or housed inside the Clay Paky Igloo for fixed outdoor installations.

Long-Lasting Source without Decay

The laser source lasts for approximately 20,000 hours (equivalent to over 12 years of average use by a rental company) with minimal decay in luminous efficacy. This is a significant technology improvement, which results in an excellent ROI for rental companies.

Internal Modularity

The laser module is easily accessible and replaceable at the end of its life. The electronic module is a disjointed unit and it may be replaced separately from the light source, if faulty.

Applications

The Mini Xtylos is definitely the most dynamic light on the market. It is ideal tool for all rental companies, for use at major events, and at any show, which would like to stand out with colorful beams and never-seen-before effects. It is also perfect for permanent installations in theme parks and TV studios.

The Mini Xtylos is the first moving head light with a laser source, and this opens up new, surprising prospects for the development of the entire entertainment lighting world.
