An LED strip on the front cover also displays the server’s state of operation. The back of the case features Neutrik connectors and XLR connectors for audio input and output. The unit comes with a library of digital media, and it pre-configured to work directly with a wide range of DMX lighting desks.

Beam angle, color temperature and light output can all easily be changed or upgraded with the simple twist of a wrist without the expense of removing the luminaire.
