Product Details

Next-Generation Digital Lighting Effects

The Vari-Lite VLHive 151 Digital FX introduces a new approach to automated lighting. It combines a powerful digital light engine with advanced animation effects.

The fixture delivers up to 45,000 lumens of output with pixel-level control. As a result, designers can create bright images, beams, and dynamic effects from a single fixture.

A multichromatic light engine with 151 individually controlled LEDs ensures accurate color and smooth blending. This design allows lighting teams to produce digital visuals while maintaining true lighting output.

Powerful Digital Animation and Image Effects

The VLHive 151 includes 80 pre-installed digital images and 50 built-in animation effects. In addition, users can upload custom images and animations for expanded creative control.

Scaling, keystone correction, and polar positioning allow precise adjustment of projected visuals. Therefore, designers can create unique effects without traditional mechanical gobos.

Integrated hue, saturation, and contrast controls allow further refinement of animations. Consequently, lighting programmers can fine-tune digital looks directly from the console.

Hybrid Optics and Advanced Beam Control

A large 300 mm front lens enhances impact for washes, beams, and direct-view effects. The hybrid optical system combines traditional optics with digital scaling for greater flexibility.

Continuously rotating digital framing shutters and a fully closing digital iris offer precise beam shaping. Meanwhile, 16-bit dimming ensures smooth intensity control.

The SmartColor+ system expands color control with calibrated preset colors and advanced mixing options.

Built for Touring and Modern Control Networks

The VLHive 151 supports multiple control protocols for professional productions. It includes DMX with RDM and Ethernet connections for network-based control.

Future video integration support, including NDI, further expands creative workflows. As a result, lighting, video, and creative teams can collaborate more easily.

The IP65-rated design ensures durability in demanding environments. Integrated sensors and data logging support reliable touring performance.
