Gobo Projectors — Rosco Image Spot & X-Effects (AU & NZ)
Rosco gobo projectors · Image Spot & X-Effects · AU & NZ
Put light — and any image — exactly where you want it.
A gobo projector throws a sharp, focused image of light: a logo on a wall, a leaf-break across a stage, a custom pattern on a floor, or a moving water effect over a whole room. Rosco's Image Spot projectors put a bright, crisp gobo image wherever you point them — and X-Effects animates it. Choose the projector, choose the gobo, and light becomes a picture.
What can you project?
One projector, endless images
Logos & branding
Project a company logo or event name onto a wall, floor or entrance — sharp, bright and instantly changeable.
Breakups & texture
Leaves, clouds, water, brick and abstract textures to add depth and atmosphere to a set or space.
Custom images
Any artwork, pattern or message, made into a glass or steel gobo and projected exactly where you want it.
Moving effects
Add a rotator or an X-Effects head for flowing water, fire, cloud and aurora that never repeats.
How it works
Projector + gobo + lens
A gobo projector is a focused light with three parts: the projector body (the light engine and optics), a gobo (the metal or glass stencil that shapes the image), and a lens that sets how wide or tight the image throws. Swap the gobo to change the image; swap the lens to change the size; add a rotator to make it move. It's the most flexible way to put a specific image of light into a space.
- The projector supplies a bright, even, focusable beam
- The gobo is the image — steel for patterns, glass for full colour
- The lens sets the throw and image size for your distance
- Add a rotator or X-Effects for movement
- Change the look in seconds by swapping the gobo

Moving effects
X-Effects — light that moves
When the image needs to move — flowing water, licking flames, drifting cloud, shifting aurora — the X-Effects projector animates a gobo into a convincing, non-repeating effect, with no media server and no haze required. It's the tool behind immersive water rooms and dynamic architectural lighting.
- Convincing, non-repeating water, fire, cloud & aurora
- No media server, no projection screen, no haze needed
