(From "Bi-Focal Spots", 1968)

This spotlight is the only modern general-purpose unit for creative lighting as it embodies the beam characteristics of both the Profile and Fresnel spotlights in one compact unit.

It provides accurate control of beam shape with hard-edge cut-off on any one or more sides of the beam with indeterminate soft-edges on the remaining sides.

It projects an image of the gate aperture which has two sets of four built-in masking shutters - one set, in focus, for hard edges and another alternative set, out of focus, for soft edges.

Two lens combinations are available so that the most efficient use can be made of the light collected at the gate by an ellipsoidal reflector.
