EtaBeta's other brands include Opti, and Neil Rice was on hand to demonstrate the Opti range - new products included a clip-on gear-driven 50mm effects cassette for the company's range of projectors, and a variable speed Solar and K4 wheel rotator, which is also operable via the same remote IR controller which Opti introduced recently for its range of slide/gobo autochangers Also from Opti was a new clock projection attachment which now includes a memory chip; the previous model relied on rechargeable batteries to keep time while the projector was powered down. Also from Opti, an up-to-date version of its classic 'Splodascope' liquid projection effect (described by one SIB visitor as 'nervous liquids'!). The new version includes two pumps, one for each fluid chamber. Finally from Opti, new DMX versions of its popular 150W and 250W discharge GoboShow and GoboPro projectors were on display, the latter sporting a new co-axial X-Y mirror head, a clever arrangement which avoids the common problems of cable fracture on fixtures of this type.
