Last April, at Prolight+Sound, Ayrton presented their motorized video panel, DreamPanel Shift, and its counterpart, DreamPanel Twin, a moving-head, dual-faced video/light panel. The group of gifted young French video and light designers, All Access Design, was contacted by Ayrton and responded to the manufacturer’s request for a show program that highlights both the technical and artistic aspects of the panels.
36 DreamPanel Shifts are showcased in this first demo that combines video with Pan/Tilt effects, with the goal of going further off the beaten path with the use of video, and does so remarkably well.

To the multiple media server layers used by the designers to manipulate the images, they add the effect of motorized rotation in pan and tilt, enhanced by the useful characteristic of these new video panels, which disappear completely when turned off.
Osram has provided LEDs for them that have black housings and reflectors. All these parameters are used to play on the pitch and depth of the media content, which is custom made to produce a result that is both surprising and confusing at the same time.
