The VLHive 151 Digital FX is a true evolution in entertainment lighting, a next-generation luminaire with advanced digital animation effects never before possible with an entertainment lighting fixture. The VLHive includes a digital light engine, with 45,000 lumens of output and pixel-level control. Thanks to user-loadable effects and familiar DMX control, the luminaire fosters better collaboration between lighting, video, and creative teams while remaining, at its heart, a light fixture. Built with Vari-Lite’s commitment to longevity and featuring the widest range of design possibilities of any fixture on the market, the VLHive 151 promises to provide fresh design looks for years to come.
The RGBL additive color mixing engine provides a wide range of colors, from soft pastels to vibrant saturated hues. With our exclusive SmartColor+ color mixing system, designers can select the perfect balance of output and CRI for their application while achieving the best-looking colors possible using familiar CMY color mixing control. And thanks to patented FluxBoost® technology, designers get more output, more saturation, and more consistent light quality across the color spectrum. This intelligent algorithm maximizes the output of enabled channels in multichromatic LED luminaires, for better power utilization and lumen output, whether you’re using a deep red or a cool white.
The 151-emitter array offers a variety of digital effects, including 360° rotating digital shutters, full-close digital iris, and a library of built-in and user-loadable digital gobos and multichromatic animations—all of which can be customized with adjustable layering and positioning. The VLHive 151 includes a range of unique effects, including effect smoothing, polar positioning, transition effects, and gobo keystoning—all of which can be controlled by standard DMX control. Perfect for a variety of applications, the VLHive 151 features Vari*glass technology that converts the large 12” front lens to a frosted projection surface at the press of a button. This allows designers to switch seamlessly from mid-air effects to direct-view animations on the fixture’s face. With the widest and most customizable feature set ever offered in an entertainment lighting fixture, the VLHive 151 opens a wide range of new opportunities for designers, aligning more closely with the rest of the production team for a more collaborative approach to the production design.
