General remarks

The JB-lighting Licon1 was designed to control fixtures and dimming channels in a fast and effective way.
It is capable of control of a maximum of 32 fixtures with 25 control channels and 7 fixed value channel each.

Additional control on 96 dimming channels.
The Licon1 allows direct access to fixtures and parameters. Each key is labelled to make it easier to use the
desk even for untrained operators.
Sequences and chases are programmed by means of presets, which allows fast and effective programming.
The Licon1 offers the opportunity to work with an effect generator, to create chases at a fraction of time,
normally required.
Selection of fixtures and change of parameters or time limits even when a show is active.
The desk can be synchronized via MIDI, SMPTE or run music animated. It is possible to link several desks if
a larger number of DMX-channels is required.
The Licon1 offers an integrated CD-Rom drive for music cds. Programming of a music synchronized show
without the use of other devices such as timecode clock ect.

Second use fixed channels when the DMX protocol of the fixture has some not occupied channels.

To enter DMX value of a fixed channel use encoder wheel located on the right hand side.
INVERS Use softkey invers to invert all functionas exept pan and tilt movement.

Use function if a channel works contrary to all other, for instant if the iris is open fully at a
DMX-value of “0” and closed at “255”.
After the inversion it will be closed at a DMX-value of 0 and open at 255.

CLEAR Use softkey CLEAR to delete inversion
P-ANGL: Maximum of pan movement amplitude. Use encoder wheel to enter data. If this value is

entered wrongly it might cause problems when working with preprogrammed moving

6 Cues (combi-section)

Cues are scenes which contain DMX values for one or more parameters. They are stored and recalled by
use of the keys in the cue section.
The cues can contain presets as well as manually entered DMX values.
If presets are stored in a cue, the cue will change automatically whenever the preset is modified later on.
Cues can contain DMX values for all parameters or DMX values for just some of the features.
The output principal of cues is “LTP”, which means that the data of the latest activated cue are of the highest
priority.

The output of a cue can be overwritten by a cue with the same parameters, only.
If, for instance one cue is activated with DMX values for pan and tilt plus DMX values for gobo 1 and the next
cue contains only DMX values for pan and tilt, the position of pan and tilt will be changed but the gobo stays
the same.

TP : trigpoint switch time for all features which will not be faded

JB-lighting Lichtanlagen GmbH Sallersteigweg 15 D-89134 Blaustein phone: [phone]
www.jb-lighting.de - 40 -

The values for the fadetime and trigpoint can
be entered in percent, depending on the
actuall speed (duration) of the step.
The main advantage is that fadetime and
trigpoint readjust themselfes if the speed is
changed.
If fadetime and trigpoint are entered in
fractions of a second they will not adjust
themselves if the speed is changed manually
later on.
The speed of a chase can be modified by
means of the keys in the chase-control section.
à see chapter 12. Chase Control Section

• Duration of a step (speed)

The duration of a step is entered by means of the encoder wheel which is located in the
chase-control-section
The duration can be modified manually later on by means of the keys and the encoder
wheel in the chase-control section.

• Duration of the fadetime/percent
The fadetime accesses all features which have been marked with a fade-rape in the store-matrix.

(à see 6.1.1 The store-matrix)

If the fadetime is entered in percent, it will depend on the speed/duration of each cue.
For example:
If a chase-step lasts 5 seconds and fadetime is adjusted on 50 % all features will be faded in in
2,5 seconds.

The softkey LINK F has to be displayed inverted to enter fadetime in
percent.
The values will be entered by means of the left encoder wheel.

• Duration of the fadetime/fraction of a second

The duration of the fadetime can be entered in factions of a second. If it is done this way it will not depend on
the duration of the step itself.
To enter the duration of the fadetime in faction of a second make sure that the softkey LINK F is not
displayed in an inverted way.
The values will be entered by means of the left encoder wheel. The values will be entered in steps of 0,0250
seconds.

Please remember if the speed/duration of a chase step is modified manually, the fadetime will not be re­adjusted automaticall. If the fadetime needs to be re-adjusted it has to be done manually.
In general a fadetime is supposed not be last longer than the chase step itself.

• Trigpoint

Trigpoint describes the moment were all features which are not faded, will be switched. The features which
will be faded are marked with a fade-ramp in the store-matrix (à see 6.1.1 The store-matrix).

The trigpoint is entered in percent depending
on the duration/speed of the chase-step.
For example:
If the chase-steps duration is 5 seconds and
the trigpoint is 75% all features (which are not
marked with a fade-ramp) will be switched
after 3,75 seconds.

9.5 Insert a chase step

New chase steps are usually added to the list of steps.
If a step should be stored at a certain position uses encoder wheel which is located in the middle (STEP) to
scroll the cursor to the desired position.
As soon as the encoder wheel is turned a new function called INSERT will appear on the display.

Press softkey INSERT to insert step in list and to store values.

9.6 Overwrite a chase step

desired step. Press softkey DUP ST. The step will be doubled immediately and inserted directly after the
source-step, the remaining steps will be re-numbered.

9.10 Stop a chase / r-link

Chases can not be switched off just by pressing the chase key again. They have to be switched off by a
separate cue. This cue is called stop-cue and it contains DMX values for all features available. A standard
stop-cue usually features open white for colour, gobo, prism and frost, as well as iris, dimmer and shutter
open and pan and tilt at a mid position.

The stop-cue can be linked to every chase. The release link function offers the possibility not only to recall a
chase, but also it´s stop-cue by means of the same chase key

First of all program and store a stop-cue. à 6.1 Programming and storage of cues.
To assign or link the stop cue to the chase press softkey R-LINK during the process of programming a
chase. Then press the cue key on which the stop cue was stored before. The number of the stop-cue will be
displayed behind the abbreviation RLM

9.11 Loop function

Chases run constantly in a loop. If they are supposed to run for only one time the adjustment
can be made during the process of storing a chase. Enter program chase menu and press
softkey SINGLE to program a chase which will stop automatically after the last step.

9.12 Block function

A number of steps can be assigned to a block. This block can be moved, copied or deleted.

10 Chase generator

Chases can be programmed either step by step or by means of the chase generator which is much quicker
and more efficient.
There is a number of pre-rogrammed chase-patterns which can be assigned to a group of fixtures and a
fixture feature.
Chases made by means of the chase generator can be assigned with one fixture parameter only, so a chase
can be created for either colour, or gobo, or pan and tilt movement but not for a combination. If a
combination of different features is required, several chases have to be created and merged afterwards.
There are pre-rogrammend chase-patterns for different stage applications. On the first page there a chases
for fixtures hung in a line next to each other. The following pages show pre-rogrammend chase-patterns for
symmetrical stage setting and double symmetrical stage setting.

10.1 Programming with the chase generator, first steps

Recall the chase generator like this:

Press the store key in combi section.

Then press the chase-key on which the chases is going to be stored.

The programm combi chase menu will be shown on the display.

Recall the chase generator program by pressing the softkey
CREATE.

The monitor of the chase-generator looks like this:

In this example the feature Color 1 was recalled.
The monitor changes depending on the feature chosen.

According to the selected feature, different Presets can be recalled
by means of the softkeys.

There is a short manual for programming the chase generator
visible in the middle of the menu.

The steps are discribed in this order:

After the chase has been created the LED of the chase key will start blinking, the LED of the store key will
start flashing.
The display will show the PROG COMB MENU and not the chase generator.

To confirm the process press the store-key of combi-section again.
The red LED of the store key will switch off.

10.1.1 The matrix of the chase generator

Each different pattern of the chase generator is displayed in form of a matrix on page 3 and 4 of the chase
generator. The matrix visualizes the „ON“ and „OFF“ values.

An empty square „£“ symbolizes the „OFF“ value.
A black square „¢“ symbolizes the „On“ value.

The chase step switch from the „Off“ to the „On“ values according to the matrix.
Die hier dargestellte Ablauf-Grafik ist also folgendermaßen zu entschlüsseln:

Example:
For this chase we assume 6 fixtures to be involved.

Fixture no. 4 _ no. 6: shutter closed

And so on.

10.2 Parameters of the chase generator

The following chapters will explain detailed the function of the different parameters of the chase generator.
To make following the description more easy we decided to explain the different pages of the chase
generator from page no. 1 to page no. 6.

After the chase generator has been recalled like described in chapter 10.1 the pages can be switched by
means of the softkeys „>>>“ and „<<<“.
The number of the active page is marked in the squares next to the “>>>” and “<<<” sign, e.g. „ 2 (6)“ means
second page of six.

10.2.1 Page no. 1 of the chase generator (Preset selection)

On page no. 1 of the chase generator you will find the short
manual which was described in chapter 10.1 before.

Additionally there will be Presets visible which were stored for the
activated feature before. In this expample you see the Presets for
colour wheel no. 1 and colour wheel no. 2.
To change feature selection press one of the keys in the features
selection block.
To recall the desired Presets press the according softkey. If there
are other Presets than those which can be actually displayed use
softkey „<<<“ to switch to the other Preset-pages.

The chase steps switch from the „On“ values to the „Off“ values according to the selected chase pattern.
To enter “On” value proceed as follows:
Press softkey “On” until the square is displayed inverted.
Press on of the softkeys with a Preset stored or use one of the encoder wheels to enter DMX data.

10.2.2 Page no. 2 of the chase generator (the order of fixtures)

If a chase pattern is programmed in DIRECT mode, the fixtures will be
recalled in order of the keys in the fixture/par selection area. (see
sketch no. 1, left)-

However, the fixtures are often hung in a different order.
This might result in a very uncoordinated replay of the chase.
(see sketch no. 2)

To change the order use options on the second page of the chase generator.

A number of eight different orders (or sequences) can be
programmed. They are stored and recalled by means of the
softkeys SEQ 1 – SEQ 8 (names can be altered).
To program a order select on softkey (SEQ1-SEQ8). If it is
displayed inverted the softkey EDIT will appear.
Press the softkey EDIT to enter the menu.

The softkeys have the following meanings:

CLEAR: Deletes the programmed order.
DEL ST Deletes the active step which was activated by

means of the encoder wheel situated in the middle before
NAME: To name the order/sequence by means of the

keys in cues/chases/sequence block.
INSERT: Insert one step
STORE: Store one step

To store a order/sequence proceed like this.

1. Select page no. 2 of the chase generator and press softkey EDIT

2. Select one of the softkeys SEQ1 – SEQ 8

3. Press the key of the fixture/par selection block on which the fixture is recalled which
should be first in order. If more than one fixture needs to be activated in the first step of
the chase, press the desired fixture keys simultaneously.

4. To store the step press softkey STORE.

Each new step is added to the steps before.
The number of steps programmed is show on the display (LENGTH: X)
STEP marks the active step.
(LENGH: 2, STEP: 3 means 2 steps already programmed, step 3 is about to be
programmed.)

To insert a step proceed like this:

1. Select the desired fixture/s (LEDs must be lit)

2. Use the encoder wheel (step) to select the step which is going to be next after the newly
inserted step.

3. Confirm by pressing softkey INSERT

To delete a step proceed as follows:

1. Select the desired step by means of the encoder wheel (step), situated in the middle.

2. Confirm by pressing softkey DEL ST

To name the order/ sequence proceed like this. vor:

10.2.3 Page no. 3 and 4 of the chase generator (chase patterns)

The chase patterns can be recalled on page no. 3 and 4 of the
chase generator.
There are 24 different patterns available, which can be
combined with the order/sequences programmed before.

Each different pattern of the chase generator is displayed in form of a matrix on page 3 and 4 of the chase
generator. The matrix visualizes the „ON“ and „OFF“ values.

An empty square „£“ symbolizes the „OFF“ value.
A black square „¢“ symbolizes the „On“ value.

The chase step switch from the „Off“ to the „On“ values according to the matrix.
Die hier dargestellte Ablauf-Grafik ist also folgendermaßen zu entschlüsseln:

Example:
For this chase we assume 6 fixtures to be involved.

Shutter chase:

„On“ value: shutter open
“Off” value: shutter closed

First step of the chase:
Fixture no. 1: shutter open
Fixture no 2 – no. 6: shutter closed

Second step of the chase:
Fixture no. 1: shutter closed
Fixture no. 2: shutter open
Fixture no. 3 – no. 6: shutter closed

Third step of the chase:
Fixture no. 1 – no. 2: shutter closed
Fixture no. 3: shutter open
Fixture no. 4 - no. 6: shutter closed

Patterns marked with two arrows run from the first step to the last and back again.
Patterns not marked with arrows run from the first to the last step and start again from the
first step (loop).

JB-lighting Lichtanlagen GmbH Sallersteigweg 15 D-89134 Blaustein phone: [phone]
www.jb-lighting.de - 50 -

After selecting the desired fixtures and programming the desired
order/sequence first, the “On” and “Off” values have to be entered.
Then the desired pattern is activated by pressing the according
softkey.
The number of steps of the whole chase will be show immediately
on the display. There will also be information on the DMX values of
the steps..

All other parameters of the chase are displayed, too in the square
marked with OPTIONS. These parameters can be altered by means
of the softkeys with the according name.

To confirm and store data press store-key of combi section.
The display will get back to the menu: PROG COMB CHASE

10.2.4 Page no. 5 of the chase generator

A standard chase usually switches between the “on” and “off”
value. If more parameter are required, page no. 5 of the chase
generator is needed. On page no. 5 a number of additional
parameters can be assigned to a chase. For instance a third
value.
In this case we use a colour chase as example:

The sketch shows a chase which contains six steps. The fixtures
switch from red to blue. (The colours are preprogrammed as
Presets).

Step no. 1: Fixture no. 1: red
Fixture no. 2 – 6: blue

Step no. 2: Fixture no. 1 and 3-6: blue
Fixture no. 2: red

The colour changes in each step of the chase.
To program a third colour use these softkeys:
LIST - : recall previous step in list

LIST+ : recall next stepin list
COPY : Copy data from one step to another

Use softkey LIST- and LIST+ to select the chase step which should be altered
The step parameter can be changed when it is displayed inverted.
Use preprogrammed Presets (softkeys) or encoder wheels to enter desired DMX data.

The colour green has been added to the second step of the chase in our example.
After the change the chase would run like this:

JB-lighting Lichtanlagen GmbH Sallersteigweg 15 D-89134 Blaustein phone: [phone]
www.jb-lighting.de - 51 -

Step no. 1:
Fixture no. 1 : colour red
Fixture no. 2 : colour green
Fixture no. 3-6: colour blue

Step no. 2
Fixture no. 1 : colour blue
Fixture no. 2 : colour red
Fixture no. 3 : colour green
Fixture no. 4-6: colour blue

Copy the parameter of one step:
Select the desired step by means of the softkeys LIST- or LIST+ .

Press softkey COPY and hold it.
While holding the softkey COPY select one of the chase steps by means of the softkeys LIST – or LIST+.
Release the softkey COPY and the values of the selected step will be overwritten immediately and shown on
the display.

à To confirm the process press the store key of combi-section.
After a short period of time the display will show the PROG COMB CHASE menu.

10.2.5 Page no. 6 of the chase generator (modification of the chase patterns)

On page no. 6 of the chase generator the pre-programmed chase patterns can be modified.
To start modification press softkey OPTIONS. You will find the following function displayed.

CH:COMB 1/D04 : name of the chase key

TYPE : >------------- way the chase runs
(symmetrical, asymmetrical, double symmetrical)

LENGTH : number of chase steps
(6 steps in this example)

FADE : ON/OFF
Fade on means the parameter can be faded, because it was
addressed with a faderamp in the store-matrix. Fade off means
the parameter can be switched only.

DIR : ----> direction of the pattern (in this example from left to right)
FLIPLINE :1

STEPSIZE :
STARTPOS:
LINEBUF :
LINE OFS :
TESTUNIT :
TYPE : The softkey TYPE enable to switch type of the chase. Choose between: symmetrical, double
symmetrical, unsymmetrical, double unsymmetrical, four times symmetrical and four times unsymmetrical.
>----------- ; >-----------< ; >------>------ ; >---< >---< ; >---->---<-----< ; >--->--->--->

LENGTH: LENGTH means the number of steps one chase contains.
The LENGTH can be varied by means of the encoder wheel situated in the middle.

11 Merge function

The merge-function is used to link two chases (with dmx-data for different features).

This diagram shows the merge-function for
a gobo- and a prism-chase. After merging
both chases together on new chase is
created. With this chase there is not only a
gobo-change in each step, but also a prism
change.

Basic for using the merge-function is that
both chases consist of the same step­number.

11.1 Enter the merge-function

Programm first chase and store it on a chase key.
Programm the second chase (must consist of the same number of chase steps). During the process of

programming press softkey MERGE and hold it. Now press the chase key of the first chase and release both
– the softkey MERGE and the chase key.

Press store key again to confirm process.
There is a small diagram of the store-matrix shown in the display. It will show if the merging was

successfully.

If a chase consits only of DMX-values for one fixture the diagram of the store-matrix might
look like this.

If the chase was merged from two chases the diagram of the store-matrix might look like this.

If the first of both chases is recalled after the merging, both chases will run simultaneously.
The speed of both chases will be the speed of the first one.

If the second of both chases is recalled it will run on its own.

11.2 Delete the merge-function

There is no function to the delete the merge-function.
The chase steps have to be recalled manually, changed and stored again.
Use edit key of combi section to enter chase-edit menu. Press chase key of the first chase and use softkey
MODIFY to enter modify menu. Now recall each single step by means of the encoder wheel, change dmx­value, select the features from store-matrix and store each step again.

www.jb-lighting.de - 54 -

11.3 The speed groups

There are 16 speed groups available to assign either combi or PAR chases.
All chases which have been assigned to the same speed group will run with the same speed.
Whenever speed of one chase in a group is changed, the rest of this speed groups chases will rearrange
their speed automatically.

The advantage of a speed group compared to the merge-function is, each chase can be recalled and run
separately

11.3.1 Integrate cases to speed groups

The speed-groups are assigned to the cue key no. 1 to no. 16.
Chases can be assigned to speed-groups either in program combi chase

or edit combi chase menu.

First create a chase and store it on a chase key.
In the chase matrix the softkey SGROUP will be visible.
Press this softkey and hold it. Then press the cue of the speed-group to which you want to
assign this chase to.

The assingment to a speed-group will be shown on the display:

The speed-group is shown by the abbreviation: G
In this chase the chase was assigned to speed-group no. 1 (G1)

Additionally to the speed-group a special function will appear on the display.
The function is the synchronized start function and it is called SYNCHST.
à see chapter 9.15 Speed-grou/Sync start

The speed of the chase can be modified by means of the key and encoder wheel in the chase-control
section

11.3.2 Delete a chase from a speed goup

If you want to delete on chase from a speed-group proceed like this:
Press edit key of combi section. Recall the desired chase by means of the chase key. Press softkey
SGROUP. The assignment of the chase to the speed-group will be deleted immediately.
The speed of the chase will be shown in seconds and not as a speed-group (e.g. G1).
In addition the softkey SYNCHST will disappear.

www.jb-lighting.de - 55 -

11.4 The sychronized start/Sync-start function

The SYNCST function enables the user to start
different chases at the same time. All chases assigned
to one speed group with sync start will start at the
same time, whenever on chases of this group is
activated.
The function sync start is similar to the function merge.
But while the function merge links two or more chases
sync start only effects the simultaneous start of the
chases and other parameters will not be influenced.

11.4.1 Enter sync start function

After assigning a chase to a speed group an new function called SYNCST will be displayed.
Press softkey SYNCST to activate function. The function is active as long as it is displayed in an
inverted way.

9.15.2 Delete sync start function

The function is active as long as it is displayed in an inverted way. Press softkey SYNCST to

delete function.

11.5 The sound function/beat count

Chases can run by sound signal. That means that the trigger for stepping the chase one more step further is
obtained by the bass beat of a sound signal connected to the desk.

The female jack plug is on the backpanel of the Licon1.
The bass fequency is factory set and can not be changed.
The number of bass beats on which the chase will be stepped further can be adjusted.
