200 PLUS SERIES CONTROL CONSOLE SPECIFICATION.

GENERAL.

A.) Overview.

1.) The control console shall be a microprocessor based lighting system designed
specifically for the control of theatrical, television, and live performance dimming
systems.

B.) Channel Capacity.

1.) The console shall support the processing of up to 512 total DMX512 outputs
with the 12/24 or the 24/48 console, arranged in either two scenes of manual
potentiometers or with expanded control capacity in a single scene configuration.

2.) Communication to system devices over a network shall be available utilizing the
Art-Net protocol.

retardant ABS control; the control console enclosure shall be designed for table or
rack mounting with removable end pieces to facilitate this.

D.) Electrical.

1.) The supply voltage shall be 18VDC (from power supply). The 200 Series shall
be powered through the use of an independent power supply with a molded plug
appropriate to the specific geographic locale of use. No internal modification to the
system is required to enable operation at 100VAC, 110VAC, 220VAC or 240VAC.

2.) The following data input/output connectors shall be provided:

d.) (1) USB Port.

e.) (1) VGA Port.

3.) The power supply shall be UL, cUL listed and the entire system shall be CE
marked.

E.) Operational Overview.

1.) These consoles are manual preset desks (12/24 or 24/48) with an integrated
video display port that has submaster storage, memory playback, effects storage
and playback and additional advanced features specifically engineered for LEDs
and moving lights.

F.) Operational Features.

channels in two scenes. The 24/48 console shall either control 48 channels in one
scene mode or 24 channels in two scenes.

2.) The system shall be available to patch any dimmer or group of dimmers to a
single channel. It shall be possible to set every dimmer with a level (0% to 100%)
that shall scale the channel level proportionally.

3.) Submaster Storage: capacity shall be related to channel size. The 12/24
channel console shall have 288 submaster scenes available (12 pages of 24
submasters); the 24/48 channel console shall have 1152 submaster scenes
available (24 pages of 48 submasters).

4.) Grand Master and Blackout Switch: the entire system output shall be mastered
by this potentiometer and switch.

5.) Channel Faders: in two scene mode each of the two scenes of 12 [24] control
channels shall be identified by a channel number and associated potentiometers
which operate over the scale of 0 to 10 (Full).

6.) Mode Selector Switches: shall select fader operation between Single Scene,
Two Scene, Submaster, Moving Light, LED and Memory Playback modes.

a.) In Two Scene Mode; the console shall be operated in two scene manual
preset fashion.

b.) In Single mode, the console shall provide expanded channel capacity
through the use of channel assignment buttons (1-48 or 49-96) utilizing all of
the system potentiometers.

c.) In submaster mode all of the potentiometers shall perform as fully
overlapping scene masters, providing proportional control over a maximum
of 288 [1152] recorded scenes (memories or cues) in 12 [24] pages.

7.) Flash Switches: a "bump" button with a LED indicator associated with each
channel or scene potentiometer shall be provided to flash channels or scenes to a
level set by the flash level potentiometer. These switches shall be instructed to
operate in a flash or solo fashion. When the console is in record mode, the
switches shall be used for rapid recording the total live output into a selected
submaster.

8.) The console shall include a special effects package that includes the following
features:

a.) Up to 12 effects stacks with 48 steps (12/24 console) or 96 steps (24/48
console).

b.) The start, stop, fade time, and running speed (step time) of each effect
can be controlled individually.

c.) The fade in and fade out time of each effect is set by the FX fade time
potentiometer and adjustable from instant (0) to 2 minutes.

d.) Individual steps and their contents may be inserted or deleted.

9.) It shall be possible to create and edit Scenes and Effects either Live or in a
Preview mode.

10.) Playback Controls: playback of channels shall be provided via manual channel
faders, submasters, manual scene masters, effects playback, LED mode or Moving
Light mode.

a.) The Preset mode A/B manual split crossfader shall have separate
incoming and outgoing preset controllers to provide a dipless crossfade
between the two manual potentiometers.

b.) The submaster mode A/B manual split crossfader shall have separate
incoming and outgoing preset controller to provide a dipless crossfade
between sequential and/or non-sequential recorded submasters.

c.) The Time fader potentiometers shall enable timed fades between 0
(manual) and 10 minutes. Timed crossfades may be stopped, paused and
continued, manually over-ridden or reversed at any time prior to fade
completion.
