DVS Expands Vizra Lineup with Road-Ready Touring Versions

DVS has recently expanded its Pro Touring LED video solutions with the latest addition of Vizra X-Tour. Delivering a distinctive, solution for big stages and touring professionals where efficiency, durability, and performance are key.

The Vizra X-Tour is based on the original Vizra series rental/staging LED panels introduced in 2023, which came to market with an extensive set of hardware features that emphasized ease of use, enhanced reliability, and the latest advancements in LED technology as standard to set a new baseline for seamless ownership with leading ROI.

The X-Tour series combines the Vizra’s best qualities for features and optical performance with new, advanced hardware options that better serve the stringent needs and workflow characteristics of touring environments. Designed to save time and trucking space yet provide increased durability and support for heavier rigging loads for large-scale deployments.

 

Hardware Durability

Vizra X-Tour adds in a new 4-inch heavy-duty load-pin and locking system at the top/bottom of the panels for an increased dead-hang load rating that can support up to 20M / 19.68 flown height. The load pin can be removed by the user for a cleaner front aesthetic when ground-stacked. The panel chassis continues to remain lightweight while still maintaining a high level of structural integrity. The panel’s total weight without the touring frame is 29.7 lbs and 38.5 lbs with the Tour Frame. The integrated heavy-duty climbing handles can support up to 500 lbs (250kg) of climbing load in addition to its increased rigging load capabilities while offering convenient accessibility on large deployments.

The integrated magnetic alignment system remains in place, incorporating heavy-duty magnets at the top of each panel to ensure precise alignment during setup and temporarily hold a panel in place until the locks are engaged. Rigging bars for Vizra X-Tour are additional locking mechanisms for the load pin and additional eye bolts to support increased rigging loads. X-Tour models feature Neutrik PowerCON® TRUE1 power connectors and Neutrik EtherCON® data connectors.

VZR-XTF Tour Frame

The VZR-XTF folding tour frame provides dual-functionality for both flown and ground-stacked deployments. In flown configurations, the frame allows for wind bracing to support wind speeds up to 44 mph (20m / s). In ground-stacked configurations the frame serves as integrated an ground support structure that can be quickly deployed with minimal setup and minimal additional hardware, and can support up to 10M stacking height (with appropriate ballast weight). The VZR-XTF tour frame perfectly folds in to ensure no obstructed access to locking mechanisms, grip handles or serviceable components. The touring frame is also detachable from the panel chassis for convenience and can be omitted upon order specification for users not needing the wind-bracing or integrated ground stack functionality.

Excelled Optical Performance

Vizra X-Tour offers optical performance with a high standard to ensure no compromise to audience viewers and on-camera. It features a standard 7,680Hz refresh rate with a base brightness of 5,000 NITS @ 5,000:1 contrast ratio. Users can elect to upgrade to high-output variants of each model to support output levels up to 7,000 NITS or customize with blackface LEDs for increased contrast levels up to 8,000:1. All Vizra XT models feature standard NovaStar A10S Pro receiving cards enabling the full suite of advanced processing features including 22Bit+ ImageBoost, HDR10/HLG, Ultra Low-Latency Support, Shutterfit, and more. Vizra XT can optionally be configured with Brompton Processing.

Vizra is offered in 3.9mm and 4.8mm pixel pitches along with the introduction of a new 5.9mm pixel pitch variant.

Durability & Reliability

Vizra X-Tour follows the same reliability and serviceability standards as other models on the DVS product line. Ensuring critical heat management for outdoor applications carrying over the integrated heatsinks on the power supply housing for a fan-less design but further ensuring long-term reliability and reducing strain on components.

Front & Rear serviceability of LED modules remains standard with the option to add a safety screw to support increased wind-loads, it features heavy-duty weather seals to maintain an IP65 protection rating. All key components, including the power supply, HUB board, and receiving card, are integrated into a single detachable, hot-swappable housing (PCU / PDU). It maintains a singular HUB board design with no permanently fixated circuitry within the panel frame, reducing failure points, and simplifying end-user troubleshooting. The universally modular component design makes inventory keeping of spare parts significantly easier to maintain, further ensuring virtually zero downtime when service is needed regardless of configuration. Safety cables for the modules and PDU are standard on all models.

Balance & Efficiency

Mirroring the philosophy of the standard Vizra series, the X-Tour line was designed to provide an extensive feature set with added functionalities critical to the needs of touring applications and large-scale deployments that highlight ease of use, safety as well as leading optical performance.

Previously touring panels would come at a premium price point due to the nature of their expensive raw materials to optimize weight and structural integrity, but with manufacturing advancements, Vizra X-Tour is able to offer the best of both worlds at a competitive price point. Discerning users can easily specify their ideal performance upgrades as necessary to best suit their needs and budget.

Vizra X-Tour comes with DVS Signature standard 5-year US-based warranty and is extendable to 7 years for added peace of mind. Even with harsh handling and elements a touring environment can be exposed to where multiple setups and teardowns can occur weekly, users can be well assured they have a reliable product and ensured longevity on their investment.

Vizra X-Tour will be available to order Q3 2024. Contact DVS or your authorized dealer for more information.
