General
American DJ’s Illusion Dotz 3.3 is a moving head with a 3x3 matrix. It can be used for pixel mapping, which essentially means that you can control all nine LEDs separately. As this moving head is ArtNet and KlingNet compatible, you can use several of them to create low-resolution videos. But even without these features, the Illusion Dotz 3.3 is a great light effect. Its 360/540-degree pan and 270-degree tilt lets you fling out beams of lights in dramatically moving ways to create numerous LED patterns.
Illusion Dotz 3.3: COB technology
taking up less space than conventional LEDs and thus allowing for more powerful LEDs with smoother and more efficient colour blending. COB stands for Chip On Board, which means that the TriLEDs are mounted to a chip. This Illusion is also equipped with same reflectors that you find in traditional Par and blinder lighting, for a homogeneous light beam. Naturally, this American DJ moving head features several built-in programs and can be controlled via DMX.
Art-Net and Kling-net
Modern lighting fixtures need ever more DMX channels to fully control all of their functions. A conventional DMX controller can usually only control a single universe of 512 channels. When you take into account that this moving head alone needs about 200 channels for full functionality, it's easy to tell that any other expansions are fairly limited. Art-Net, however, can control up to 32,768 universes of 512 channels via an affordable Ethernet cable. KlingNet is a realtime video protocol to control different displays, including LED panels, via an ethernet connection. The American DJ Illusion Dotz 3.3 is equipped with an ethernet connector and can be used with both ArtNet and KlingNet, making it fully ready for the future of light shows.
