High-Intensity CMY Beam Fixture for Touring & Install
The ADJ Vizi Beam CMY is a professional-grade moving head beam fixture powered by a 310W Osram Sirius HRI PRO lamp, delivering a razor-sharp 2-degree beam angle and 7850K color temperature. With a peak CRI of 86 and over 6,000 hours of rated lamp life, this unit delivers brilliant intensity and consistency across tours, events, and fixed installations. Its onboard CMY color mixing system pairs with a 14-color dichroic wheel (including CTO, CTB, UV) to produce an infinite range of saturated hues, pastels, and white balances.
Beam shaping tools include a 17-position static gobo wheel, four beam reducers, and an indexable GOBO shake effect. Dual prisms—16-facet circular and 6-facet linear—are rotatable and overlay-ready for enhanced mid-air FX. The built-in Aria X2 wireless DMX system streamlines control, while motorized focus and 16-bit dimming offer precision programming. With 3-phase pan/tilt motors, OTA firmware, and rugged daisy-chain power I/O, the Vizi Beam CMY is ready for complex designs on fast-paced stages.

Discharge Lamp Output & Optical System in the Vizi Beam CMY
At the core of the Vizi Beam CMY is a 310W Osram Sirius HRI PRO discharge lamp, engineered for intense beam projection with a narrow 2° beam angle. This lamp delivers a sharp, high-contrast output at 7850K color temperature, with a color rendering index (CRI) of 86, ideal for high-impact aerial effects and crisp mid-air visuals. The high-quality optical glass lens and 3-phase motors ensure fast and precise movement, making the beam pop in clubs, arenas, or touring applications.
The light engine’s rated life of 6,000 hours offers long-term reliability, while the linear focus and fine-tuned optics enable razor-sharp control even at long throws.
Advanced Color Architecture with CMY + Dichroic Wheel
The Vizi Beam CMY features CMY color mixing layered with a full 14-position dichroic color wheel. This hybrid approach offers both continuous color blending and high-speed color switching for punchy transitions or smooth fades. The wheel includes specialized filters like CTO (3200K), CTB (9000K), and UV, enabling looks ranging from natural warm tones to icy strobe effects and deep saturation FX.
- Split color indexing allows precise multi-tone mixing
- Separate Multi-Color FX unlock complex overlays
This dual-layer color control system provides total flexibility for theatrical cueing, EDM rigs, or high-energy mobile DJ environments.
Gobo & Prism Mechanics for FX Versatility
Loaded with a 17-position static gobo wheel (including 4 beam reducers), the Vizi Beam CMY creates fast-swapping aerial patterns with high contrast. The gobos support Shake FX and can be layered with one of two rotating prism wheels: a 16-facet circular or 6-facet linear, with prism overlaying supported for kaleidoscopic beam multiplication.
This setup gives LDs the ability to shape and spread the narrow 2° beam into wide dynamic arrays without losing center brightness. It’s ideal for creating huge looks from compact spaces or enhancing visibility in hazy venues.
Aria X2 Wireless Management & OTA Readiness
ADJ’s Aria X2 Wireless Management System comes built-in, enabling:
- Over-the-air firmware updates via secure wireless connection
- DMX linking without physical cable runs
- Wireless show uploads and preset changes
This streamlines tech workflows in festival, rental, or corporate environments where time and routing flexibility are critical. Combined with the rugged powerCON locking I/O and multi-voltage auto-sensing, the Vizi Beam CMY stands out as a future-ready beam fixture engineered for evolving production needs.
How to Deploy the Vizi Beam CMY in the Field
The ADJ Vizi Beam CMY is built for touring-grade deployment and large-scale production integration. Its compact footprint (9.8” x 14.3” x 17.9”) and 38.5 lb. weight allow for flexible rigging without excessive truss load.
- Truss Mounting: Use the included (2) Omega Brackets to mount the fixture on standard truss systems with 1.5" clamps. Secure pan/tilt locks prevent unwanted movement during transport or pre-show rigging.
- Inverted or Upright: The base and locking hardware support both upright and inverted orientations for over-stage or floor-based beams.
- Power Linking: Outdoor-rated power locking in/out connections allow daisy-chaining of multiple units. Use standard IP-rated locking jumpers for weatherproof consistency.
- DMX/Data Routing: Connect fixtures via 5-pin DMX (IP-rated) or use Aria X2 wireless for cable-free data management. The wireless DMX system is ideal for hard-to-reach placements or fast patch changes on tour.
With high-speed pan/tilt motors, precision beam control, and integrated prism/gobo layering, the Vizi Beam CMY is optimized for overhead aerial FX, mid-air breakups, and rhythmic beam sweeps—perfect for concerts, festivals, clubs, and high-impact event rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Vizi Beam CMY be used outdoors?
A: While it includes outdoor-rated power connectors, the fixture itself is not IP-rated. Use in dry, covered environments unless housed in weather-resistant enclosures.
Q: Is the wireless DMX built into the unit?
A: Yes. The fixture includes onboard Aria X2 wireless DMX with OTA firmware update capability. No external transmitter is required when using compatible Aria receivers.
Q: Does the CMY system eliminate the need for a color wheel?
A: No. It complements it. The Vizi Beam CMY has both subtractive CMY mixing and a 14-color dichroic wheel for instant access to UV, CTO, CTB, and multicolor effects.
Q: Are the gobos user-replaceable?
A: No. The gobo wheel is static with 17 fixed gobos (including 4 beam reducers), so custom insertion isn’t supported.
Q: How fast is the pan/tilt movement?
A: Extremely fast. Thanks to its 3-phase motors, the unit offers smooth, high-speed pan (540°) and tilt (270°) with 16-bit precision for tight movement accuracy.
