The fixture features five different Dimming Curve modes, as Astera refers to it. Selection of these modes along with the Pulse Width Modulation dimming of the fixture enables flicker-free video shooting. The Pixel Tube features an integrated battery that charges in approximately 7 hours using the included charger and has a run time of 20 hours. It can be controlled remotely by IR, a downloadable app, and wireless DMX. The Pixel Tube has an IP rating of 65 for dust and water ingress, when the rubber plug to cover the charging port is in place. The IP65 rating means the fixture is completely dust tight, and it is impervious to low-pressure jets, which means you can use this fixture in dusty environments and in wet conditions.
