2. Introduction Description The Ovation F-415FC is a RGBAL Fresnel-style LED system. It projects a bright, beautifully soft field of light, from subtle pastels to punchy saturates, and nearly any temperature of white. A motorized zoom with a 27° to 68° field of angle allows users to add light where it is needed. Control of the virtual color wheel, zoom, and output can be via DMX or on-board dials.
