The XOOP Digital FRSNL M from HOF is a next-generation Fresnel fixture featuring FROSTYX SMARTGLASS technology, which allows the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the light beam to be controlled digitally and independently of each other. This technical evolution transforms a traditional round beam into custom light shapes for specific applications, according to product specifications.
Digital Light Shaping and Zoom Mechanics
Lighting professionals can adjust beam geometry independently along the X and Y axes directly via DMX, RDM, or physical rotary controls on the fixture housing. HOF developed the unit to combine the proven characteristics of classic Fresnel fixtures with modern digital zoom technology, creating new creative freedom for stage planners, theatre lighting designers, and production professionals.
Beyond remote desk control, technicians can configure the unit directly on the housing using two rotary push encoders located on the rear panel alongside a full-colour digital display. The interface provides clear readouts for settings like digital zoom values, colour temperatures, and built-in colour macros.
Colour Mixing and Performance Specifications
At the optical core of the XOOP Digital FRSNL M is a 200W 5-in-1 RGBMA LED engine. By blending red, green, blue, mint, and amber diodes, the fixture achieves high-quality colour rendering across the visible spectrum while producing natural white tones suitable for various theatrical and broadcast environments. Source specifications note that the unit supports adjustable colour temperatures ranging from 1,800K to 20,000K, alongside up to 255 built-in LEE colour filter presets.
Pro Tip: For broadcast and film sets utilizing high-speed cameras, the fixture’s adjustable PWM frequency ranging from 600Hz to 20kHz eliminates flicker issues during capture.
Market Applications and Control Integration
While engineered specifically for professional theatre and film productions, the fixture is equally suited for corporate events, exhibitions, live entertainment, and rental inventories. System integration is handled via standard DMX and RDM protocols, allowing direct connection into existing lighting control networks. Additional software and hardware features include 16-bit stepless dimming, selectable dimming curves, built-in strobe effects, automated internal programs, and an orientation sensor that automatically rotates the display when the fixture is mounted at an angle or inverted.
Did you know? Traditional Fresnel fixtures rely on mechanical barndoors or manual lens position adjustments to shape light, whereas the XOOP Digital FRSNL M handles spatial beam manipulation entirely through its internal smartglass and digital zoom architecture.
