Description

The Pharos Designer VLC (Video Lighting Controller)

This unit is an extremely capable and cost-effective architectural lighting control solution for large LED pixel arrays, such as building façades, bridges, and presentation walls.

The Pharos VLC controls large systems where the fixtures act as a single array.

The VLC makes it simple to play video content across your array, either from locally stored HD media files or a DVI-D video input.

It also offers a range of creative, generative effects and the versatility of powerful show control and integration features. Capacities from 50 to 1500 eDMX universes.
