Precision Beam Effects in a Compact Touring Frame
The ADJ Vizi Beam RX2 is a fast, focused 2-degree moving head powered by an OSRAM Sirius HRI 100 W discharge lamp (6 000-hour life, 9 000 K CCT). With dual rotating prisms (16-facet circular + 4-facet linear), a motorized focus lens train, and a frost filter that morphs tight beams into soft halos, the RX2 is built for designers who demand speed, punch, and flexibility in one fixture.
Motion is driven by 540° pan / 270° tilt with 16-bit resolution and high-speed motors for tight hits and rapid sweeps. An indexable 14-color wheel includes UV, CTB (9 000 K), CTO (3 200 K), and saturated primaries, while a 15-slot static gobo wheel with shake effects adds texture and tunnel FX to any aerial sequence.
Real-World Applications & Light Roles:
- DJ and rental companies needing a fast, lightweight beam head with wireless DMX
- Clubs and lounges running aerial tunnels, gobo bursts, or room-scan macros
- Stage installs seeking sharp beam optics with tight 2° angle for long-throw visuals
- Mobile tech crews using daisy-chained locking power I/O and Omega brackets
- Programmers integrating RDM feedback and OTA firmware updates into house rigs
Where This System Excels
- Ultra-Narrow Beams: Native 2° output cuts clean across hazers and atmospherics.
- Prism Layering: Dual rotating prisms offer tunnel, kaleidoscope, and mid-air split FX.
- Color + UV Reach: 14-slot wheel with indexable positioning for split tones and specialty filters.
- Motorized Focus: Crisp beam tuning and soft frost diffusion from the console.
- Wireless-Ready: Aria X2 on-board for DMX over 2.4 GHz or Sub-GHz networks.
Control Modes for the Vizi Beam RX2
Choose your map based on speed or detail:
- 16-Channel Mode » Quick access to all primary FX: pan/tilt, color, gobo, prism, strobe, dimmer.
- 20-Channel Mode » Adds fine pan/tilt, frost, focus, macro speed control, and fixture reset functions.
I/O & Protocols: 5-pin DMX IN/OUT, full RDM compliance, and integrated Aria X2 wireless DMX with selectable 2.4 GHz + Sub-GHz bands. Manual control via LCD menu supports address setting, channel mode, lamp strike, and motor resets.
Use stand-alone when needed—auto-run and sound-active programs are built in for plug-and-play beam shows without a console.

- Gobo Shake: Each gobo supports slow-to-fast shake motion via dedicated DMX ranges
- Rotational FX: Entire gobo wheel supports CW/CCW indexed spin or continuous rotation
- Beam Reduction Gobos: Narrow down the 2° native beam for extra punch and center-brightness control
- Open Slot: Use full beam and prism without gobo interference for pure aerial spears or tunnel overlays
Prism + Frost Effects
- 16-Facet Circular Prism: Delivers spinning tunnel visuals, mid-air rays, and kaleidoscope motion
- 4-Facet Linear Prism: Splits the beam horizontally for stage washes, matrix walls, or backdrop layering
- Prism Overlay: Layer both prisms via DMX to create dynamic multi-plane effects and visual spread
- Bi-Directional Rotation: CW and CCW prism spin speeds are variable for fine-tuned movement intensity
- Indexable Frost: Smoothly blends sharp 2° beams into wash or haze blooms with precision
Pan/Tilt & Movement Control

- Feedback Sensors: Real-time positional correction ensures accuracy in installations and timecoded shows
- Speed Macros: Selectable fast or smooth movement profiles for clubs, concerts, and theatrical cues
- Auto-Hibernation: Disables motors and lamp automatically after 15 minutes of DMX signal loss to protect lifespan
- DMX-Resettable: Pan, tilt, color, gobo, frost, prism, and motor groups can be reset remotely on cue
Rigging & Tour-Readiness
With dual Omega bracket receivers and reinforced base anchors, the RX2 mounts securely to trussing, grids, or pipe structures using standard clamps and a secondary safety cable. Locking power I/O simplifies power linking across fixtures, and oversized rubber feet ensure flat placement when floor-mounted.
Weighing just 21.8 lb (9.9 kg), it’s easy to handle in one-person load-ins. Plus, the compact base footprint and low profile make it a natural fit for mobile stages, rental racks, and stacked road cases.

Built-in ADJ WiFLY EXR enables wireless control when running long DMX lines isn’t feasible.
- Concert and Club Rigs: Mount to overhead truss with omega clamps and safety cables; use beam tightness and prism effects to cut through fog and haze.
- Mobile Event Production: Position upright on stage decks or risers for eye-level tunnel FX; engage motorized focus to maintain beam clarity in shallow throw scenarios.
- Permanent Installs: Secure to fixed grids or catwalks; use pan/tilt indexing and internal macros for pre-programmed positional cues.
- Wireless Deployment: Pair with other WiFLY EXR-compatible fixtures and eliminate DMX cabling—ideal for open fields, ballrooms, or outdoor rooftops.
- Corporate or Theater Use: Invert fixture on grid with precision control for gobo transitions, logo projection, or cue-to-cue scene shifts.
