High-end Technobeam is a scanning Intelligent spotlight. The Union currently owns 4 units. The union high-end technobeams are usually not directly connected/bracketed to anything and instead are used freestanding. This means care must be taken that they are not knocked over which is particularly an issue with events which have things such as beachballs thrown around.

Care should be taken to ensure the correct protocol is selected - this is typically Techobeam Reduced, or TbR, though can be set to Technobeam Full, or TbF, if enough channels are available. Note that we do not ever use the Technoarray or Technopro protocols. The Technobeam-i DMX protocol is for fixtures with Irises.
