PALCO Z-FX is a next-generation LED projector designed to create movement, texture, and large-scale visual compositions. It is the creative extension of the PALCO platform, designed for lighting designers requiring a fixture capable of combining continuous rotation, advanced pixel control and motorized dynamic zoom in a single compact, high-impact source.
The PALCO Z-FX's distinctive feature is its 360° continuous tilt rotation, an uncommon feature in this category, introducing a new language of movement: fluid, unpredictable, and completely free from traditional mechanical limitations. This allows for continuous sweeps, dynamic transitions, and motion effects that transform the fixture into a scenic element.
The optical system includes 18 individually controllable 60 W RGBL LEDs, capable of generating chases, gradients, animations, and layered textures with high visual density. The 3 to 55° motorized linear zoom allows for instant transitions from focused beams to wide, immersive washes, with a 1:18 zoom ratio that expands creative possibilities and reduces the need for additional fixtures.
Thanks to ColorBoost technology, the PALCO Z-FX delivers intense, calibrated colors, with an output of 20,000 lumens and 87,000 lux @ 5 m, ensuring a powerful stage presence even in environments with strong ambient lighting. The variable color temperature (2000 – 10,000 K) and CRI 85+ ensure natural color rendering and consistency across the entire PALCO range.
Designed for modern touring and production, the PALCO Z‑FX offers a compact design, weighing 21.7 kg, IP65 protection, control via DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, LumenRadio CRMX option and quick setup via NFC with the SGM App for iOS/Android, even without powering the fixture.
