In the world of lighting solutions, versatility is key. The X23 fixture from SkyPanel X provides exceptional flexibility: up to three X21 Domes can be combined to create a powerful soft light with just one seamless shadow.

Chimera takes this versatility a step further by providing a spacious Lightbank designed specifically for the SkyPanel X23, ensuring you have ample coverage for your lighting needs.

But that's not all – with a simple modification to the X23 Modular Frame, creating more space between the three lampheads, SkyPanel X23 can also accommodate up to three S60 Adapters. This opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to attach a wide range of existing SkyPanel S60-C accessories to your X23 fixture, making it even more adaptable.
It's all about maximizing your creative potential through customizable lighting.

Mounting HyPer Optics over the SkyPanel X transforms it into a native hard light luminaire with a refined, rounded beam. Depending on the output needs or size format, the SkyPanel X can be used as one 2:1 hard light (X21) in backlight applications, as a squared 2:2 hard light (X22) to throw light through windows, or as a powerful 2:3 hard light (X23) for cherry picker or condor use.

To enhance color mixing over close-to-medium distances, the HyPer Optic allows the attachment of diffusion frames right after the individual lenses.
While the HyPer Optic delivers an accurate, narrow beam that can be cut from a far distance, it is possible to attach a foldable DoPchoice SNAPBOX® SNOOT or a SNAPGRID® eggcrate directly over the lens, allowing for glare and spill control.

SkyPanel X23 with HyPer Optics can be the ideal choice to replace your Brutes, 9-light FAYs, and Quarter Wendy Lights with a more sustainable LED solution. With the X23 and HyPer Optics, you will get a very similar output and shadow from a fixture that is roughly the same size and weight, while dramatically reducing your power consumption and distro cost, and eliminating the hassle of replacing lamps and gels.

The X Modular Yoke is a silver aluminum yoke designed to work together with either the X22 Modular Frames or the X23 Modular Frames.
It includes a 28mm spigot and it can be disassembled for storage. The whole process of connecting the frames to the yoke or installing the luminaires into this rigging system is completely toolless, and it does not take more than 2 or 3 minutes.

Those users who want to benefit from all yoke-based modular possibilities, can order the SkyPanel X Modular System - this is a package that includes one X Modular Yoke together with the Frames for X22 and the Frames for X23, plus all the daisy chain power and data cables.

The X23 Modular Frame includes three Quick-Lock mounting brackets, a set of tilt-lock handles, and a heavy-duty handle for carrying.

The Modular Frame can be installed onto the X Modular Yoke for a seamless stirrup format, or you can rig the Modular Frame directly via standard 28mm spigots with C-clamps or pipe clamps for a low-profile install. The X23 Modular Frame allows for the mounting of three X21 lampheads, and the distance between them is optimized to create an X23 native hard light with three HyPer Optics, a native soft light with three X21 Domes, or a combination of both.
These Modular Frames can also fit three lampheads with S60 Adapters, after adjusting the distance between each Quick-Lock Bracket with a tool.

It's a simple and quick process, since all cables are integrated into the modular frames of the X Modular System. Connect the power via the provided TRUE1 daisy-chain cables, from one unit to the next. Connect the data via the provided EtherCON daisy-chain cables, from one unit to the next. The order is not important; however, remember to convert the three units into one X23 array via the "Array Setup" page of the user menu in the ALL-WEATHER Control Panel, if you want to enjoy all the advantages of the X22 and/or X23 concept (such as using one, single DMX profile and one, single control panel to control the whole array, while keeping individual control over the pixel zones).

Remember that after this process, you will only need one 20 A TRUE1 mains power cable to run the whole array, and one single Ethernet cable coming from your controller or console. If you lose or break the daisy-chain cables, you can order new ones via ARRI or you can simply use any other standard TRUE1 and Ethernet cables rated for the same power consumption and network use.

If you want to control the X22 or X23 as one single panel with up to 24 pixel zones, you will need to set the two (X22) or three (X23) fixtures as an array in the user interface of the ALL-WEATHER Control Panel. This setup will remain until you ungroup the fixtures in the array. All in all, you are ready to go from the case to the set in about three minutes.

If you want to use one single control panel to operate three units in a stirrup, you simply group the three fixtures as one X23 in the ALL-WEATHER Control Panel, and they will obey the same parameters when operated manually. If this X23 array is then connected to a DMX controller, the programmer will only need to patch one fixture with 85 DMX channels in order to operate the X23 and its 24 RGB pixel zones.
