The impression X4 from Germany-based GLP features 19 high-powered RGBW LEDs, giving a homogenized output across a full zoom range of 7 to 50 degrees, and now it’s controllable via an iPad.

One of the versatile features of the impression X4 is that users can create their own pixel designs on the fly and store them directly into their control console. The new iPad app makes the process fast and easy by bringing up a simulation of the fixture’s front lens layout. Users can tap individual lenses on and off to design the output that they would like. The app also simultaneously displays the corresponding DMX channels and values to be input to the controller for the physical fixture.

An additional feature of the app is the color picker that allows you to see color selection on top of any pattern for a real feel of how a final pattern will appear.

The app is free to download from the Apple Store, and GLP says there’s an iPhone and Android version coming as well. More information is here.
