Vio Roll vs. Revo Roll...Vio Scan vs. Revo Scan

The Vio series does not offer much as far as patterns go. The Revo has a ton of patterns. The vio series is REALLY bright. The Revo's are not as bright. It's not really a matter of "which one is better" is a matter of "here are your choices, purchase the one that suits you the best" Make sense?
Welcome to the forums.
Sincerely,

thanks James,

so if Revo has more patterns,

why not Keep what it has going for it,
and making THAT brighter...

seems an advance as far as brightness, but a step back as far as patterns...

just my $0.02

The revo roll is a very good fixture, I have a couple of them since 2008 and they never gave me a problem BUT they are not bright at all (you can see the rays only in a dark room and only with some smoke) and the led dots matrix is an old concept of lighting...the new vio series has sharper beams and even if it doesn't have patterns I think that it's brightness will be more than enough By the other side for these type of scanner I always suggest barrel instead of flat because with barrels you can get your room full of color AND if you like the flat mirror effect you should take a look at comscans, x-scans and the new vizi scan pro

franceso

why not get the best of both worlds
flat mirrors and barrels,
3 of EACH in 1 fixture, YES, 1 fixture,

the NUCLEUS PRO

Yes I've seen it in the ldi 2010 pdf preview 60 watts of leds are really cool and I'm sure that thing is damn bright but I won't buy it AS a mobile dj, for sure as centerpiece in a club or a disco. I've recently buyed a quad phase, as a successor of my revo III, and for 1200$ (the price of nucleus pro) I would prefer to have a bigger coverage with 2 quad phase and 2 vio roll, for the same reason that I prefer 2 mega bar 50 instead of a single mega bar...multiple items are more reliable and give you the freedom of a more flexible set up.
By the other side the nucleus has build in shows that combine all the 6 scanners without the need of dmx, it's a hard choice
