Modules connections

Cerebrum connections

The Maxxyz Programmer module is the main
control unit of a Maxxyz system.

This module can be used with the Cerebrum or with the

Maxxyz PC software. It allows the user to be quick and

efficient while programming a show. Like the other Maxxyz

Modules, the Programmer module comes with a built-in

Maxxyz PC dongle and 2 built-in DMX ports - the perfect

startup Maxxyz console.

The Maxxyz Submaster module provides the
user with an additional 24 handles of controls
for cuelists, channels, submasters or inhibi­tives.

Combined with a Maxxyz Cerebrum, Maxxyz Compact or

Maxxyz PC, the Submaster module makes it very easy and

relatively inexpensive to build a 24, 48 or even 96 fader

desk with full moving light capabilities. Multiple pages of 24

faders can be recalled at any time. Like the other Maxxyz

Modules, the Submaster module comes with a built-in

Maxxyz PC dongle and 2 built-in DMX ports - the perfect

startup theater console.

The Maxxyz Cerebrum module is a compact
yet powerful touch-screen computer and the
heart of the modular concept.

It runs the lighting software on Windows XP Embedded

which controls the Maxxyz Compact. The Maxxyz Cere-

brum can also be used as a stand-alone unit for control in

installations, for example in hotels or on cruise ships, and

also functions as a backup system for any Maxxyz console,

Maxxyz PC or other Cerebrum module. A superb performer

with a powerful effects engine, Maxxyz Cerebrum can

control up to 16,384 fixtures. It allows up to 1,000 cuelists

with motorized fader control and 1,000 cuelists using play-

back control buttons with parallel execution of multiple

cuelists. Sub-master, group master, and override function-

ality is included, and the Graphical User Interface is cus-

tomizable.

The Maxxyz Button module is a dream come
true for any lighting console operator.

With an ever-increasing demand for more direct access on

live shows, the Button module offers up to 30 customizable

direct access buttons. Each row of 10 LCD buttons, 10 flash

buttons is individually assignable to cuelists, groups, fix-

tures or presets and one scroll wheel for direct access to

other banks, pages or rows.

A set of 5 LCD buttons, 2 Up/Down keys and a scroll wheel

provide direct access to functionalities related to each row

of buttons. A convenient encoder belt gives flexible access

to such features as time, speed and future options. The

Button module - like the other Maxxyz Modules - comes

with a built-in Maxxyz PC dongle and 2 built-in DMX

ports.

The Maxxyz Button module also works with the new

Maxedia 4 software to recall cues, transitions and other

functions. The built-in encoder belt can be assigned as

manual dissolver between cues as well as setting transition

time and intensity.

Using the same high quality faders and
buttons as the Maxxyz Compact, the Playback
module adds 10 motorized faders with 15
LCD buttons and a master Go section,
extending the playback capabilities of
Maxxyz.

Up to 16 Playback modules can be added to any Maxxyz

Cerebrum, Maxxyz console or Maxxyz PC. Like the other

Maxxyz Modules, the Playback module comes with a built-

in Maxxyz PC dongle and 2 built-in DMX ports - the perfect

playback console.

The Maxxyz Modules frame can accept up to
two modules of any kind (except the Cere­brum which only fits in the upper position),
making it possible to combine different
modules in the same frame - thereby custom­izing it for a specific application.

The included blind plate can be used to hold a laptop or

notes and paperwork.

Built of a solid aluminum construction yet with tactile, easy-to­operate designs, the modules can be used in hundreds of
different combinations, allowing users to create a custom console
to fit their individual needs without the expense of an over-speced,
large desk.
