Operational data

Dimmers

The console is capable of controlling up to 512 dimmers over multiplexed control
lines. DMX512, AMX192 and D54 protocols are all included as standard, and are
software selectable.

Patch Tables

Two software-controlled patch tables are available to link any dimmer or group of
dimmers to a single channel. Additionally every dimmer may be set with a level
which is proportional to the controlling channel.

Cue Storage

Capacity is related to channel size.
MX12: 48 scenes (12 x 4 pages) MX24: 96 scenes (24 x 4 pages) MX48: 192
scenes (48 x 4 pages)

Memory Retention

One month without power (by internal rechargable batteries.) MX can distinguish
between being turned off and loss of power. If switched off a series of diagnostic
tests will be run before the desk is operational. After power loss the desk is
restored to the same state, including running effects and timed fades, as it was
prior to power failure.

Library

A 64kB memory card can store the entire MX memory, or selectively record
scenes, effects, patch tables and setup data.

Display

An integral 4 x 20 backlit LCD display provides access to setup information, and
preview and modification of recorded states and effects. The terminal display
option can show output, scene memory, held memory and patch details.

MIDI

Interface allows use with other MIDI equipment, such as sequencers for external
playback control, or other MX consoles, for slave or back-up operations.
