Px102 Nadir console is designed to control scanners , moving head fixtures , dimmers and strobes. It controls 512 DMX channels allowing for operation of 32 16-channel or 64 8-channel scanners. Internal memory capacity ( 8 Mb ) is 1536 scenes which can be used in 64 programs. Up to 7 programs may be run at the same time , each with its own rate and synchronization mode. Programs may be used to build up to 8 shows , each with up to 256 steps. The effects generator ( fig. 8, circle etc. ) speeds up and facilitates programming. 32 fixture / program buttons, memory bank selector, and 16 control faders give quick and easy access to programs and fixtures. Fluid action joystick gives precise control of mirror movement. Accessing controller functions is done through 48 character LCD display and a rotary encoder. An extensive onboard fixture library may be updated through the RS-232 port. Future software releases can be downloaded in the same manner. Programming and set-up functions may be password protected.
