Commander Theatre DMX Lighting Desk with 512 Channels - Rack Mountable

The DMX Commander 512 enables the control of up to 16 lighting fixtures with up to 32 DMX channels each.

Moving-heads and other modern spotlights offer numerous functions that cannot be controlled via dimmer channels. The DMX Commander 512, therefore, separates dimmer and function channels. This allows the brightness of a scene to be reduced without changing the function channels. In addition, all function channels can be set to the correct setting before the brightness is increased.

A total of 57 memory locations are available for programming, 54 of which can be called up on nine faders via six pages. Three memory locations with page-independent faders can be called up at any time and are suitable for frequently used settings such as audience lighting, front lighting, or a hazer. Each memory location can contain a single mood or an entire sequence of a piece. The sequence can be run manually using the “Go”-button or automatically, whereby the speed can be saved, set using a speed controller, clocked using the Tap button, or music-controlled. This sequence control can be set individually for each memory location, including the fade time.

A clear overview is essential for a console with so many faders. The spotlights can be created and patched as fixtures in order to sort the channels clearly. In addition, all functions can be labelled and displayed using the buttons above the operating faders. The various memories can also be named. The DMX Commander 512 is supplied with neutral white fader caps, but also includes eight caps in seven other colours to create your own colour scheme for the faders of the manual input and the memories.

The DMX Commander 512 is designed for installation in a 19“ rack. Connections for 3-pin or 5-pin DMX signals and a 6.3 mm jack connection for the audio signal are located on the rear. The power connection is via P-Con plug. There are two USB ports on the surface, one for the supplied USB stick and one as a power source, for example, for a console light.
