Introduction
This Manual
This manual describes the operation and programming of the Juggler lighting desk.
Throughout this manual all references to controls, buttons and lights on the front panel
appear in capital letters, eg GRAND MASTER, PRESET CONTROL, WIDE etc.
The Juggler Lighting Desk
The Juggler lighting desk is a two preset 12 channel desk. The wide mode feature allows
a single preset 24 channel operation. Crossfades between scenes can be manual or
timed. Individual channels may be flashed.
Up to 12 sequences of 99 steps each can be recorded on the desk. One sequence can be
output at a time. The sequence can be played back manually or automatically at the
required speed.
The output from the desk is DMX 512 only (channels 1-24).

Preset Operation
Introduction
The Juggler desk can be operated as either two 12 channel presets controlling 12
channels, or a single wide preset controlling 24 channels.
In Two Preset operation, separate scenes are set up on PRESET A and PRESET B
faders. The A MASTER and B MASTER faders are used to crossfade between the two
different scenes.
In Wide Mode, the first scene is set up on the PRESET A and PRESET B faders and is
stored temporarily using the PRESET CONTROL button. Once stored, another scene can
be set up on the PRESET A and PRESET B faders. The A MASTER and B MASTER
faders are then used to crossfade between the stored scene and the scene on the
PRESET faders.
In Two Preset and Wide Modes crossfades between scenes can be manual or timed.
Overall output is under the control of the GRAND MASTER fader.
Two Preset Operation
The PRESET A and PRESET B faders, the A MASTER and B MASTER faders and the
GRAND MASTER fader are used to control the output levels from the desk. The FADE
TIME control is used to determine the crossfade time between scenes.
Outputting Scenes
To Output a Scene from Preset A - Set the required levels for each channel on the
PRESET A faders. Set the A MASTER to full and the B MASTER to zero. The scene set
up on PRESET A is output live.
To Output a Scene from Preset B - Set the required levels for each channel on the
PRESET B faders. Set the A MASTER to zero and the B MASTER to full. The scene set
up on PRESET B is output live.

Manual Fades
Ensure the FADE TIME control is set to Manual. Set up a scene using the PRESET A
faders. Set up a different scene on the PRESET B faders.
Set the A MASTER to full, and the B MASTER to zero. The scene set on the PRESET A
faders is output.
To crossfade to the scene set up on PRESET B, simultaneously move the A MASTER to
zero and the B MASTER to full. You have direct control over the speed of the scene
change. As the two master faders are moved in tandem the scene set up on PRESET B
will fade in and the scene set on PRESET A will fade out.
A new scene can then be set up on PRESET A without affecting the outputs.
To crossfade to the new scene on PRESET A, simultaneously move the A MASTER to full
and the B MASTER to zero.
As the two master faders are moved in tandem the scene set up on PRESET B will fade
out and the scene set on PRESET A will fade in.
Timed Crossfades
Set the A MASTER and B MASTER faders to zero. Set up a scene using the PRESET A
faders. Set up a different scene on the PRESET B faders.
Set the FADE TIME control to the required crossfade time.
Quickly move the A MASTER fader to full. The scene on the PRESET A faders will fade in
and be output live. The time taken for the fade to complete is determined by the value set
on the FADE TIME control.
To crossfade to the scene on PRESET B, quickly move the A MASTER fader to zero and
the B MASTER fader to full. The scene on PRESET B will fade in and the scene on
PRESET A will fade out in the selected time. While the crossfade is in progress the LEDs
in the PRESET CONTROL button flash. They go out when the fade is complete.
A new scene can then be set up on PRESET A without affecting the outputs.
To crossfade to the scene on PRESET A, quickly move the A MASTER to full and the B
MASTER to zero. The scene on PRESET A will fade in and the scene on PRESET B will
fade out in the selected time.
Flashing Channels
Ensure that the flash function is active (LED in FLASH button is on).
Press and hold down an individual CHANNEL FLASH button. The channel is then added
to the scene at the level set on the GRAND MASTER.
Release the CHANNEL FLASH button. The channel returns to its previous level.
