The pro range is disguise’s cutting edge solution for large and complex shows. The 44pro, 24pro and vx 4 set a standard for
power and flexibility. They are suited for the most demanding touring productions, massive multi-projector shows, TV, broadcast
and high-quality fixed installs. They also give users the option to change the video output signal through Video Format
Conversion cards (VFC), so shows can be delivered with fewer machines, no downstream splitters and practically no latency.
The gx range is the natural evolution of the pro range due to the current demand for real-time generative content in the shows
of today and the future. Providing the same rugged touring chassis that we have built and developed over the years but with a
little extra power to push those generative effects. The industry first, patented Video Format Conversions cards (VFC) are fully
compatible across the complete pro and gx series.
We put great care and effort into the development and manufacture of our products. Please contact your Sales team or the
Support team if you experience any issues with this product. Contact details can be found at the end of this booklet.
If you have any questions or feedback for us, we’d be happy to hear from you.
