Strand 430

Transportable or installed memory lighting console with 30 submasters, for use with GeniusPlus or Lightpalette operating software and additional optional Strand application software packages (see separate data sheet for details). The operating software chosen sets the capacity of the system in increments from 100 intensity channels plus 100 colour or motion attributes to a maximum of 600 channels plus 400 attributes. Attribute capacity may be increased by re-allocating unused intensity channels. Future expansion of capacity or functions (through application software) is designed into the system through the purchase of upgrade packs or additional application software.

or combined operation, or condensed to a single playback. A rate wheel is provided to adjust the rate of progress of a lighting change. Each playback may have a separate cue sheet, enabling lighting cues to be run independently of motion cues, on separate playbacks, if desired. A total of 128 simultaneous faders are supported.

containing up to 99 fully overlapping steps can be run from playbacks, macros, submasters or manually from the effects playback panel. Effects steps contain recorded intensity levels and attribute positions for scroller or moving light effects. Levels used can be as recorded or random between max and min levels, inserted or alternately inverted. Each effect step can use individually programmable In, dwell and out times or may use the effect defaults. Effects can stop when instructed, after the last cycle or, after a defined number of cycles or time. Effects can be chained. Step control can be manual, timed or with CommuniquePlus MIDI or audio. Effects type, direction and speed can be modified whilst running and updated back into the effects memory if required.

submaster has a bump button, and two LED indicators to signal the status and activity of each submaster. Submasters may be used to mix memories, replay cues, including dimming and motion cues.

The six Supermasters have adjacent labelling provided by an LCD display. Any submaster or supermaster can be configured to provide the following special master control functions: master all Submasters, Audio input, DMX input, Effects playbacks, Bump level, MIDI. If the Supermasters are used for a special function, the LCD display will show the function name selected.
