Program Functions • 2 Editors: Stage & Blind • Next, Prev & Test functions for fast editing. • Fixture edition supported by palettes (pre-programmed palettes) & Libraries. • Attributes, Palettes & Libraries are divided in the following categories: dimmer, position, color, gobo, beam & X-tra. • Several Timings, time references, to separate conceptually cue/group contents (htp channels, ltp channels, gobos, colors, etc.)

with the objective of controlling the fading in scene of each concept independently. • Fan-out & Flip functions. • Searching & faster actions using keys of dimmer, position, color, etc. • Edit+ function for use live fade times with libraries and some editor functions as call, test… • Banks, in touch panel, to access groups, macros, palettes, libraries, shapes… 30/50 direct accesses. Banks are configurable. • Shapes for editing dynamic values of any fixture attribute or channel (circle, can-can, rainbow…). Pre-programmed, editable

shapes in the user library. • Rescue function for recovering the last selections, modified cues and to reset editors. • Copy function to copy values of channels & fixtures. • Copy function to copy cues, groups, effects, pages, macros… • Exam function to exam contents or status of any console item. • Modify function to modify contents or status of any console item. • Command Line to enter commands and data.

Inside Menu

• Setup to configure modes and console parameters. • Help Pages. • Several Languages for help and information. • Tests menu to test the correct status of each console part. • Printer menu to print an item, an item range or a selection of items and ranges. Console prints to a digital file in *.txt format. • Load Selected option, inside Shows menu, allows recovering, selective, of elements of a show (only a cue or cues range, only

patch, only macros…). Console can read/load ASCII Light Cue Shows directly. Channels Patch & Fixtures Patch • Channels: These channels accept response curves and level limit for dimmers. Channel Patch has quick commands to copy

(move/set default…) DMX lines, DMX address range… • Dimmer Curves, preprogrammed and editable response curves for conventional channels. • Fixtures: Fixtures Patch has an XY control to adjust trackball movement for each fixture depending on its location. Fixtures Patch

also has a special external dimmer function, and special adjustment for scroller gels. • Extensive library for fixtures, structured by manufacturer and models. The Fixtures library can be updated from the internet

(www.lt-light.com) and can be edited and modified. Playback • Learn Time functions to learn times of Effects & Crossfades. following their manual execution • Time control (speed control) for Submasters and Crossfader. • Playback Modification in Stage & Blind modes. • Effects that have several ways to execute the same contents. Effects can be modified in live and during their execution. • Prio & Tracking functions allow to adjust the playback priorities and fading out modes. • Event list controlled by SMPTE, inner or external, and MTC. An event executes Cues, Effects, Crossfade, Macros, Rs232

Commands, etc. Special ports for control & synchronization • 3 External triggering (switchers), can be associated to any fader or key. • MIDI IN-OUT. Patch MIDI included & editable. • DMX input that allows to capture scenes (Channels & Fixtures modes), to mix any DMX output and to execute console macros. • Configurable Serial Port (RS232) only for 6000 models. It’s possible to edit commands to use them in our Show: Slide control,

video control, etc. Ethernet 10/100/1000M • Ethernet to connect several consoles and/or off line editors. Master/slave mode defined in the Ethernet session. • DMX over Ethernet, with ArtNet protocol, and ready for ACN. 6 or 12 universes depending on the console. • Connections to visualization software, such as Capture, ShowDesigner or WYSIWYG. Connections to media servers such as

Coolux. Other functions • Macros & Pages to speed up editing and • Software updating (USB, Ethernet) from a PC (updates are available on www.lt-light.com). • Windows off Line Editor (W.O.L.E), which allows data to be exchanged between consoles and computers. The off line editor will

emulate a console on your computer. • Shows are compatible with HYDRA II versions & models. • Shows can be converted from other LT console models: Plus, Space, Sky, Spirit...
