The computer management system in each

markers. Thereafter, on instructions from
the operator, the Scroller will take the
shortest direction to effect the colour
change and at whatever speed is required.

Colourset Power Supply
and DMX Decoder

The 19 inch, rack mounting, 120/240V
power supply can feed both power and
signal to up to 24 heads through four,
individually fused, output channels using
four core cable. With a OMX desk, the
selected start channel number is set on the
power supply thumbwheel. From the desk
the start channel will control the speed of all
changers, the follow on channels on the
desk will control the changers according to
the channel selector setting on each
changer.

Colourset Controller

A dedicated Controller special ly developed
to offer distinct advantages over control
from a lighting desk. A micro-touch
keyboard provides programmable control
and speed for sixteen different channels
and any number of changers can be
controlled by each channel .

Special features of the
Colourset Controller

0 16 colour selection Keys, give

direct access to each colour in the
changer, aiding complex scene
programming.

and changers before hand.

0 No lengthy programming steps

when using the Controller and all
keys have a status indicator aiding
scene previewing

0 Recalling scenes is a quick,

two-key, selection from the four

pages of memory. The memory,

sixty-four colour and speed
controlled scenes, is protected by a

long life (2 year) internal battery.
