Vintage Projection Cassettes for Animation, Logos, Scenic Effects & Visual Displays
Bring your Optikinetics Solar 250 projector to life with our range of 3" Effect Cassettes available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. Designed specifically for the legendary Solar 250 projection system, these interchangeable cassettes allow users to create moving images, animated graphics, logos, scenic effects, abstract visuals and atmospheric projections for theatres, concerts, exhibitions, themed events and corporate functions.
The Solar 250 became one of the world's most successful effects projection systems because of its ability to accept a huge range of interchangeable accessories, including 3" effect cassettes and 6" effect wheels. These cassettes are mounted in dedicated cassette rotators, allowing the projected image to rotate, drift or animate across walls, ceilings, stages, screens and scenery. Optikinetics developed hundreds of visual effects for the Solar range, making it one of the most versatile projection systems ever produced.
