WHEEL ROTATORS

Available in the speeds listed and used to rotate OPTI 6" Effect Wheels to produce a constantly moving image. ½ rpm is recommended for the Liquid Wheel and most other 6" Effect Wheels. The faster speeds may be used for Distortion, Spektraflash and Fader wheels although these wheels when used with slower speed rotators create softer smoother effects.

Multi Coloured

3" Effect Cassettes combine two pieces of glass, one static the other revolving to create movement. They can be used in any OPTI effects projector with either a Cassette Rotator or Six Cassette Autochanger.

Liquid Cassettes combine two layers of different colour liquids which constantly move.
They are recommended for use with the OPTI Solar 100C and Solar 250. Colours may fade more rapidly in other OPTI effects projectors.

Multi Coloured Cassettes combine the same design in two colourways screen printed onto different pieces of glass.

Mono Coloured Cassettes combine two pieces ot glass screenprinted with the same design. Colours are: Pink, Green, Blue and Purple.

Beam Cassettes are also silk screened. Used through a smoke haze they create 'laser like' animated beams of light.
