Brightness distinguishes Synthesis from other fixtures if the same class, putting it alongside products in the 1200W class. A combination of the short arc single-ended lamp, a high efficiency dichroic reflector, heat filters with low visible light reduction and optimized optics enable Synthesis to achieve exceptional brightness - plus considerable energy and cost savings and lower environmental impact.

Automatic pan/tilt locking/unlocking is a unique feature, and ideal for touring where the fixture is constantly in transit. Synthesis was the first moving head fixture fitted with wireless DMX as standard, with an operating radius of over 500 metres.
