A wide range of accessories are available for the VSFX and WaveFX systems.

These include:

   VSFX
       
Adjustable Mask

The adjustable mask contains four blades which can be individually set to alter the outer shape of the projected image. This allows a projection to be cut inside a proscenium arch or to the top of a cyclorama, for example. The adjustable mask fits behind the lens, in the rear slot of the VSFX drive unit.

  
       
Diverter Mirror

The diverter mirror fits to the front of the standard VSFX range of lenses, allowing the projected image to be directed in angles that might not normally be possible. The most common use of the mirror is to divert a projected image downwards onto the stage floor (most effects projectors cannot point straight down), though they can also be used to project onto a cyclorama if space is tight and the projector has to be rigged 'sideways on' to the cyc. The mirror can be rotated around the axis of the lens, and the angle of the mirror can be set.

  
       
Source Four Lens Adaptor

This adaptor allows Source Four fixed focus lenses to be used in place of the standard VSFX lenses. This can be particularly useful if an image is to be used in sharp focus, or if the projector's throw will alter regularly but a range of Source Four lenses are available - for example, with effects projected from the circle front on a tour. Alternatively, the 5 degree and 10 degree lenses can be useful if the effect has to be projected over a long throw.

  
       
FX/DMX

The FX/DMX unit allows VSFX or WaveFX drive units to be controlled directly from a DMX512 control signal. The unit is designed to be bolted to the side of a VSFX or WaveFX housing. It features 5-pin XLRs for DMX In and Out, and a 4-pin XLR which connects to the VSFX drive unit. The FX/DMX receives its power from the VSFX drive unit itself, minimising the amount of cabling required.

Note that VSFX drive units are now available with on-board DMX, removing the need for the FX/DMX.

  
       
Slide Carrier

The slide carrier fits to the front of an effects projector in place of a VSFX drive unit, and allows the projection of 3.25"x3.25" slides. The standard VSFX lenses (or the adaptor allowing Source Four lenses) can be used.

  
       
Flight Case

Flight cases are available for single VSFX drive units. These cases can offer valuable protection when VSFX effects have to be transported.

  
       
Dust Cover Set

The dust cover set consists of metal plates which cover the front and rear apertures of the VSFX drive unit when the unit has no lens and is removed from a projector. The plates help to prevent dust settling on the glass effect disc as well as offering protection to the disc in transit.
