Looking like a slimmed-down VSFX drive unit, WaveFX replaces the VSFX's glass disc with moving break-up glass, driven up and down through the WaveFX's projection aperture. When used with a suitable projector an enormous range of 'wave' type effects are possible, including rippling water but also effects like fluttering flags.

The speed and direction of the movement can be controlled in exactly the same way as with VSFX, either manually using the speed and direction switches on the side of the unit or remotely through a 0-10V control signal. Direct control using DMX512 is possible with the FX/DMX controller.

WaveFX is compatible with the same range of projectors as the standard VSFX, and with the same range of accessories.
