Important Safety

Instructions

4EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

1. Introduction

This user’s manual is designed to give you an overview of all the controls, sothat

you get to know all possible applications the LC2412 oers. Generalsafety

instructions are followed by a structured overview of the control panel.

Afterwards, all functions of your LC2412 are described in detail.

Future-minded BEHRINGER technology

To allow for the highest possible level of operational safety, we manufacture our

equipment under the highest quality standards in the industry.

Your LC2412 has been manufactured under ISO9000 certied

managementsystem.

◊ The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize you with the

unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions.

After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it at a safe place

for future reference.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

The LC2412 was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport.

Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken

place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications

ofdamage.

◊ Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the

dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the

transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit.

Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Please make sure the unit is provided with sucient ventilation, and never place

the EUROLIGHT on top of an amplier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk

of overheating.

◊ Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you

have selected the correct voltage:

The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular

markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated

adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up,

and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION: This

does not apply to export models that were for example manufactured

only for use with 120 V!

◊ If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly.

The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter

“Specifications”.

◊ Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without

exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the

chapter “Specifications”.

Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All requiered safety

precautions have been adhered to.

◊ Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own

protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or

the unit itself.

1.1.3 Warranty

Please take a few minutes and send us the completely lled out warranty

card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at

behringer.com. The serial number needed for the registration is located at the top

of the unit. Failure to register your product may void future warranty claims.

1.2 The user’s manual

The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls,

aswell as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you

understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups

according to their function. If you need to know more about specic issues,

please visit our website at http://behringer.com.

1.3 General features and functions

“LC2412” means: 24 preset channels and 12 memory channels. But that’s hardly

all: You can simultaneously control 78 dimmer channels via the DMX512 digital

interface (26 console channels x 3 DMX channels). And because several light units

can be operated on a single dimmer channel, this console gives you a plethora of

mixing possibilities.

Comparable to a mixing console in a recording studio, a light mixing console is a

switching central for stage lighting. Therefore, a light mixing console has to be

absolutely reliable and under no circumstances leave you stranded. We created

our LC2412 using the most modern components in order to guarantee you the

maximum reliability possible.

But without functionality, no amount of reliability is of use to you. That’s why

we integrated a tremendeous number of func-tions in an extremely compact

unit. You have always full control of the light conditions, regardless whether you

run the light show at a live concert, a club or on a stage. To enable you complete

control over the current setup, the EUROLIGHT LC2412 has an intuitive design

structure and features a large number of LEDs and a large LCD display.

A light mixing console is basically a controlling unit that comprises a full system

once it is integrated with a power source and light elements.

Two dierent standards have established themselves in the eld of light control

(analog controlling with 0 to +10 V and digital controlling via the DMX512 control

protocol). Your LC2412 is compatible with both. The extent of controlling your

lighting situation can range from simply fading lights in and out, all the way to

conguring and programming entire light shows. You can manually control the

speed at which a program runs, enter the desired speed into a preset for each

step, or let it be automatically determined by an internal beat generator. Onthe

other hand, you can control this beat generator by using a fader, or let your

musical program directly determine the beat for the lighting setup.

Presets

Complex lighting situations can be set up using single faders (each controlling up

to 24 channels, whereby up to 72 single dimmers can be controlled). You can light

up individual channels at full blast independently from their fader position using

the FLASH keys.

Memories

Presets can be stored into ten separate preset banks (with twelve memory slots

each), and can also be individually recalled. All memories can be archived by

using separate PCMCIA memory cards.

5EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

Chases

The expression “Chases” refers to situations in which individually programmed

light steps (up to 99 steps) are executed in succession (the lights “chase” each

other). These steps can be both individual presets as well as memories.

You can create extremely complex chases. For example, parameters such as

fade-in speed of a step, chase sequence speed and their control via the built-in

beat generator or music can all be programmed.

Crossfade

There are several ways to alternate between various stored or newly developed

lighting situations. Conversely, you can also alternate back and forth between

individual steps of a single chase manually or automatically.

Preview

With this function, you can preview stored memories or chases without these

being visible on the stage. This way, you can discretely control the next step

before letting it be seen on the stage.

Sound to light

This function is more widely known as “party light”. It basically means that your

music drives the light show. An incomming music signal is broken down into

three frequency ranges (bass, mids and highs), each of which is assigned to a

(memory) channel. Depending on the volume of the respective signal segments,

the lights assigned to them will shine accordingly. You can even program a setup

for song pauses.

MIDI

The LC2412 can be controlled via MIDI. Two EUROLIGHT LC2412s can be operated

as master and slave by using the MIDI interface. Entire shows can be stored and

recalled by means of a MIDI sequencer.

DMX512

The DMX digital protocol lets you exibly assign 78 of the 512 digital channels to

individual light console channels (softpatch).

Memory card

The EUROLIGHT LC2412 oers you access to 120 storable lighting setups

(memories) that can easily be altered. A virtually unlimited archive of lighting

setups can be created by using the interchangeable memory cards on which

these setups are stored. The sky is the limit when you put your creativity to the

test with the 99 programmable chases, each consisting of 99 single steps.

2. Control Elements

The control panel of your LC2412 is divided into various areas with dierent

functions. The way the controls on the LC2412 were designed makes using the

unit and capturing current settings a breeze. The control elements are described

on the following pages according to the functions they play. If parts of the unit

are shown in light grey in an illustration, that means that these controls belong

to another section (described elsewhere in the manual).

All control elements and function keys are provided with control lights to enable

you full oversight of the setup/functions currently selected.

The sections: (1) A PRESET section, (2) B MEMORY-section + bank

display, (3) sound to light, (4) FLASH keys, (5) programming section,

(6) MAIN section, (7) CHASE section.

The LC2412 also has additional functions that cannot be assigned to a particular

section (special channels):

(8) SPECIAL 1 key. Used to activate a special channel, for example for turning a

fog machine on/o.

(9) SPECIAL 2 key. The same function as SPECIAL 1 key. Just like in the case of

other channels, three DMX channels can be assigned to these two channels

(i.e. to SPECIAL 1/2). Both special channels are then labeled as channels

25and 26 on the console. SPECIAL 1 and SPECIAL 2 keys can be programmed

as switches, keys or kill keys. Additional information on this subject can be

found in chapter 7.3.

(10) POWER switch. Used to power up the EUROLIGHT LC2412. The POWER

switch should always be in the “O” position when you connect the unit to

themains.

◊ Please take note: Merely switching the unit off does not mean that

it is fully disconnected from the mains. When not using the unit for

prolonged periods of time, please unplug the unit’s power cord from

the power outlet.

(11) The BNC connector is used for connecting a gooseneck lamp (optional).

(33) UPPER switch. When you press this switch, the A PRESET section is switched

to the twelve additional channels. After that, you can set up the intensity of

channels 13 - 24. See also chapter 3.2.

Setting up presets

Channel faders are used for setting up a preset that can be directly recalled by

moving fader A (41). As in all other setups, the MAIN fader (43) (see chapter 2.6)

determines the maximum illumination level of selected light sources.

2.2 Control elements of the B MEMORY

section( 2 )

The faders of the B MEMORY section are located in the block underneath the

APRESET section.

(13) These faders control the illumination level of an entire group of channels

in a ratio to one another that you previously determined by setting up the

APRESET faders and saving this setting as a memory.

7EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

Exception: When the LC2412 is in preset mode (“P” shown in the bank display),

the faders control the same channels as the faders of the A PRESET section.

Thisway, you can simul-taneously create a second preset.

(14) – (17) These faders are also a part of this section, but they have a double

function. When the LC2412 is in sound to light mode (party light function),

they control the illumination level of individual memories assigned to

particular frequency ranges.

(18) The BANK display shows the storage bank to which the memories you recall

belong. It also shows if the LC2412 is currently in preset mode (“P” diplayed).

The display starts ashing when you switch into preset mode, and lights

up constantly after three seconds. The preset mode is active only after the

ashing has stopped. This prevents accidental activation of the preset mode

as well as rough fades.

(19) UP/DOWN keys. Use them to select a preset bank (0 - 9) or switch into

preset mode (P). The control lights ash when you select a new bank while

memories from the previous bank are still active (the fader(s) is(are) pulled

up). Pull the fader(s) ((13), (14) - (17)) down to fade the memory out. When you

pull the fader(s) up again, the memory of the new preset bank is visible on

the stage (also see chapter 4.1.2).

(20) SOUND TO LIGHT key. See chapter 2.3.

(21) PREVIEW key. It gives you the option to preview (or modify) stored

memories one more time before implementing them on the stage. Thisis

particularly useful when you saved chases as memories and wish to

double-check and/or modify their speed before integrating them into a

running show. When “preview” is activated, the chases are shown on control

LEDsexclusively.

Each fader is assigned to a FLASH key (section (4)). This key is used to assign a

specic bank position to individual presets while programming a memory.

2.3 Control elements of the Sound-to-light

section ( 3 )

The SOUND-TO-LIGHT controls are located in the right-hand section of the

BMEMORY section.

If the sound-to-light function is active, memories 9 - 12 are controlled by a music

signal, whereby the volume of the signal dictates the illumination level of the

memories. The music signal is divided into three frequency ranges (bass,mids,

higs). One memory slot is assigned to each of the three frequency ranges.

Foroptimal results, please put the faders to the middle position. This will let you

bring individual settings of memories into sync with one another, should the

levels vary from memory to memory.

(14) (15) (16) (17)

(18)

(20)

(19)

Fig. 2.4: The SOUND-TO-LIGHT section

(14) The PAUSE fader is, just like the fader (13), used primarily to control the

illumination level of memories. If the sound-to-light function is active,

itcontrols a memory slot assigned to run during program breaks between

two musical pieces.

(15) The BASS fader takes over the basic conguration of the illumination levels

for the memory slot assigned to the bass portion of the frequency range.

(16) The MID fader is conversely assigned to the mids.

(17) The TREBLE fader is conversely assigned to the highs.

(18) and (19): Bank display and UP/DOWN keys, see chapter 2.2.

(20) The SOUND-TO-LIGHT key activates the sound-to-light funtion.

The music signal necessary for controlling the show can be fed into the

ANALOGINPUT connector located at the rear of the LC2412.

2.4 Section ( 4 ): FLASH keys and SOLO

(22) (23)

Fig. 2.5: The FLASH keys

(22) FLASH keys. Pressing one of the FLASH keys sets the respective channel to

the maximum illumination level set on the MAIN fader, independent from

its own fader position. For this purpose, the CH FLASH key has to be pressed.

The channel ash function is automatically activated in preset mode.

(23) Dual-function FLASH keys. Memories or chases can be stored to memory

positions 9 - 12 (chase to memory). When a respective storage bank is

selected, chases are indicated with yellow LEDs. Chases can also be recalled

by using the Flash keys.

Solo

When the solo function is simultaneously active (SOLO key (31), LED lit), all other

emitters or light elements are deactivated. Only the channel selected via the

Flash key is still active.

2.4.1 Disabling the solo function

You have the option to exclude specic channels from the solo function, so that

these channels remain active even when “Solo” is activated.

Disabling solo is achieved by performing the folloing programming sequence:

1. Press UTILITY 1 (28).

2. Select the option DISABLE SOLO by using the SOFT A key (38) located below

the display. The channel for which the solo function should be disabled

or enabled is shown in the top left section of the display. The respective

disabled/enabled status of the said channel is indicated to the right of the

channel number itself.

3. To select the channel you wish to adjust, turn the DATA wheel (36).

Thedesired channel can also be selected by using the Flash key

(for channels 13 - 24: rst press the UPPER key).

4. SOFT B (39) selects “DISABLE” and thus disables the solo function for this

channel; SOFT A selects “ENABLE”.

5. To exit this procedure, press the QUIT key (40), thus conrming the procedure.

◊ When you disable the solo function for a particular channel,

the channel remains active in case when it is part of an activated

memory that fades after pressing one of the FLASH keys.

8EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

Example:

You have disabled the solo function for channel 8. The light on channel 8 remains

lit if you press one of the Flash keys, as long as the solo function is active.

Previously, you have programmed a memory that uses channel 8. The memory

has just been activated on the stage. Now, press one of the Flash keys (CH FLASH

(32) is also activated). There are two lights on the stage, i.e. channel 8 and the

channel activated with the key!

2.5 Control elements of the programming

section ( 5 )

Despite its compact size, the EUROLIGHT LC2412 is a versatile light mixing

console. In it, we have integrated a plethora of functions, among others,

variousfunctions for memories, chases and digital control. The basic elements

of the programming section are located at the top right section of the unit.

Tolet you quickly orient yourself in dicult situations, the LC2412 also features

adisplay.

(24) PCMCIA CARD slot. This interface accepts the memory card on which you

can store your console setups.

(25) MEMORY key. By pressing the MEMORY key once, you initiate the procedure

that saves a stage scene. How this procedure functions in particular is

explained in greater detail in chapter 4.1.

(26) CHASE key. Used to initiate the programming procedure (intended for

creating a chase). How this is done is explained in chapter 6.1.

(27) The CTM key (stands for chase to memory) brings up the menu for storing

chases. Basically, you can store completely programmed chases into

memory. Each of the ten memory banks has four memory slots (9 - 12)

available for this purpose.

(28) UTILITY 1. This key takes you to the following programming menus:

DISABLESOLO, SELECT CURVE and THEATRE MODE.

(29) UTILITY 2. This key takes you to the following programming menus:

DMXPATCH, SELECT MIDI and SELECT SPECIAL. Further information about

these functions is to be found in chapters 7 and 8, “ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

OF THE LC2412” and “DIMMER CONTROL”.

(30) LIVE key. By pressing this key, you can route chase or memory steps to

the console’s output in order to see what it would all really look like on

the stage. This also makes sense for the programming procedure itself,

becausechases are for example only shown on the LEDs during their selection

(normalsetting, blind mode). This way, selecting chases is even possible while

a program is running on the stage, without disrupting the program itself

(automaticpreview). The live mode changes everything the other way around:

only the settings observed in the preview function are visible on the stage.

(31) SOLO. The solo function utilizes the ash keys. When the solo function is

active, pressing the FLASH key for a single channel/memory completely

dimms all other lights. If so desired, individual channels can be taken out of

the solo function’s reach (see chapters 4.3.1 and 2.4.1).

(32) CH FLASH key. Switches the channel ash function on and o. When the

channel ash function is on, you can use the FLASH keys ((22) + (23)) to

enable the highest illumination level on individual channels. This function is

automatically activated in preset mode (see chapter 3.1.1). However, it has to

be manually activated in memory mode.

(33) UPPER switch. Used to switch over to channels 13 - 24. See also chapters

2.1and 3.2.

(34) CONTRAST control. Turning this pot lets you adjust the display contrast.

(35) PROGRAM display. Depending on the programming procedure,

dierentmenues are shown here. If you haven’t programmed anything

yet, or if you have quit a programming procedure by means of pressing the

QUIT key (40), the display shows the current chase and the respective step

(basicsetup).

(36) DATA wheel. Used to change/select programming parameters. For example,

it can be used for programming chases, during which you dial in steps and

determine their execution speed. Besides, it is also used for directly calling

up chases (see also chapter 6.2).

(37) SHIFT key. Opens additional programming menues. A more detailed

explanation can be found in the description of the respective

programmingprocedures.

(38) SOFT A key. Needed for selecting items while in a programming menu.

Themenu texts and the SOFT A key are ordered in such a way that this key

lets you select the options above (appearing in the menu).

(39) SOFT B key. Has the same function as the SOFT A key.

(40) QUIT key. Used for closing a programming procedure and going back to the

main menu.

(44) (45) (45) (47)

Fig. 2.7: The main section

Control elements that apply to function groups or the entire console are grouped

in the main section.

(41) A fader. This fader is the master fader for the A PRESET section; it determines

the maximum illumination level of the entire section. The FLASH keys

((22) / (23) as well as (44) / (45)) can still be utilized, even when the fader is at

its zero position.

9EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

(42) B fader. This fader is the master control for the B MEMORY section;

itdetermines the maximum illumination level of all memories. Just like in

the case of the A fader, the FLASH keys can be utilized even when the fader is

at its zero position.

When the MAIN fader is raised up, both of these faders (A and B) can be used

to fade in and out between the settings of both of these sections.

(43) MAIN fader. It determines the maximum illumination level of all commands

at the console’s output.

(44) PRESET FLASH key. You can execute the entire A PRESET section with this

ash key, that is, activate the A PRESET section on the stage, even if the the

A fader (41) is fully down. As soon as you let go of the key, the lights fade

again. More information about this subject is found in chapter 4.3.

(45) MEMORY FLASH key. Has the same function for the B memory section.

Also, two additional keys in this section aect the entire console output:

(46) HOLD key. Freezes the current settings, while you select a new preset,

recall a dierent memory or implement an entirely dierent conguration.

Thisprocedure is described in chapter 7.2.

(47) BLACKOUT switch. Completely dimms all lighting elements. This function

aects the entire console output, that is, it also aects the chases.

Thedimming is done abruptly. If you want the dimming to take place softly,

use the MAIN fader. Console settings can be altered while the console output

is deactivated. To illuminate the stage again, hit the BLACKOUT key again.

The control LED dies out.

between the current step and the one preceeding it by pressing the STEP

key (53). This function can also be executed utilizig the X-FADE control

(MANUALMODE key (54) activated). Additional information on this subject

can be found in chapter 6.2.6.

(50) CHASE fader. Controls the illumination level of a complete chase setup.

Separate ratios of a memory incorporating this chase remain intact.

(51) X-FADE control. Used to manually dissolve between individual chase steps.

Can also be used to dissolve between memories. Additionally,fade-in speed of

chase steps can be congured, provided this speed was not already determined

in theatre mode (only when theatre mode is active). Moredetailed information

on this subject can be found in chapters 6.2.3 and 7.4.

(52) SPEED fader. Controls chase speed.

(53) STEP key. Manually triggers chase steps. This can also be done while chases

are already active. This function can also be remotely controlled by using

afootswitch.

(54) MANUAL MODE key. Assigned to the X-FADE control. When the MANUAL MODE

key is activated, turning the X-FADE control back and forth either fades back

and forth between two chase steps (INSERT key activated) or fade chase steps

in after one another (INSERT key deactivated). A more detailed overview of the

various possibilities of fading in/out can be found in chapter6.2.4.

(55) SOUND/RUN MODE key. Selectively activates chase control by means of bass

rythm (SOUND) or by means of the internal speed control (RUN).

3. Presets

This chapter describes individual steps used to set up, recall and fade in/out

presets (pre-determined lighting situations). Even though your LC2412 can

execute complex functions, its controls are easy to master, provided you invest

some time to familiarize yourself with the way they work. To familiarize you with

the control elements and their functions step by step, let us begin with setting up

presets (preset = the total collection of all fader positions of the A PRESET section

at one particular time). Let’s start with 12 channels rst.

All statements referring to channels 1 - 12 apply also to channels 13 - 24

(uppermode).

◊ Think of presets as building blocks used to create more complex

lighting situations: memories capture the setup of a preset

(up to 24 channels) on one fader; chases use presets (level step)

as well as memories (memory step) as single steps.

Fig. 3.1: Using presets and memories

3.1 Basic conguration

Pull all the faders all the way down to the zero mark. This way, you assure that

you start your exploration of the possibilities of the LC2412 from a neutral

setting, and can observe the results of the changes you implement directly.

Usethe POWER switch to power up your BEHRINGER EUROLIGHT LC2412.

TheLC2412 displays now the setup that was most recently used, just prior to

being powered down last time.

If you want to start completely from the beginning, you can use a key

combination to erase all programmed congurations. More on this subject

in chapter 7.8.

3.1.1 Preset mode

To work exclusively with presets, you have to rst switch into preset mode.

Select“P” in the bank display accordingly.

1. Press the UP or DOWN keys repeatedly until “P” is shown in the display.

Thedisplay ashes for roughly 3 seconds.

2. Once the ashing stops, your LC2412 is in preset mode. The CHANNEL FLASH

function is now automatically activated, which is also shown by the lit

control LED (CH FLASH (32)).

3. Raise the MAIN fader (43) as well as Fader A (41).

4. You can now use faders 1 - 12 of the A PRESET section to create a stage

design. The illumination level of individual lighting elements can be read out

on the control LEDs, aligned next to the FLASH keys.

◊ You can not program or recal memories while in preset mode. On the

other hand, stored chases can be recalled whle in preset mode.

3.2 Expanding to 24 preset channels

(uppermode)

All operations applicable to channels 1-12 can be executed on channels 13 - 24,

once you switch into upper mode.

1. Press the UPPER switch (33).

The control LED indicates that the LC2412 is now in upper mode, that

is, thatthe faders of the A PRESET section now control channels 13 - 24.

Thefaders from the B MEMORY section aect channels 13 - 24 while in

preset mode.

2. Set up your preset by moving the faders of the A PRESET section into the

desired position.

In case you had already executed setups to channels 13 - 24, you have to

rst put the faders into the previously selected position before being able to

again align these channels.

3. To quit upper mode, simply press the switch.

◊ After switching over, the control LEDs indicate the illumination

condition of the respective active channels independent of the position

of the faders. To alter the setting of a channel, you have to first bring

the respective fader into the previous position.

Additional features:

While in upper mode, the ash keys fade in the channels 13 - 24.

11 EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

3.3 Crossfading between presets

To crossfade between two presets, you need an additional preset. This additional

preset is created by utilizing the faders in the B MEMORY section.

1. Pull the fader B (42) upward, the fader A (41) downward. The MAIN fader

remains open.

2. Now, set up the lighting situation by using the faders of the B MEMORY

section. As always, you can observe these changes on the control LEDs.

3. Move the master B fader downward, then move the master A fader upward.

Preset B is faded out, while preset A is faded in (manual fade).

4. The B Memory Section

In this context, “memory” means a lighting situation (preset) stored as a unit.

The memory function is organized as follows:

There are ten storage banks, each with twelve storage slots (FLASH keys 1 - 12),

used to store complete lighting situations (24 channels). The illumination level of

the individual lighting situations (stage designs) can be determined by using the

faders assigned to them during the programming procedure.

You can use memories in several ways:

1. Fade them in manually or suddenly;

2. Crossfade between presets and memories;

3. Crossfade between dierent memories;

4. Crossfade between memories from dierent memory banks.

Memoriesoriginating in dierent banks can simultaneously be active.

4.1 Programming, recalling and altering

memories (scenes)

4.1.1 Programming

1. Set up a stage design (scene) while in preset mode (Fader A PRESET section).

2. To store a scene, you must rst quit the preset mode. By using the UP/DOWN

keys (19), you switch into the memory mode. The bank display (18) indicates

which storage bank is selected.

Press the MEMORY (25) key in the programming section. The display (35) shows

the following text (an example):

Fig. 4.1: Display “Program memory”

The meaning behind the above line: the next step (select memory),

location(memory slot number/storage bank).

You have already selected a storage bank using the UP/DOWN keys (7), and now

use the FLASH keys to select a location.

Lower line: Make a selection by pressing SOFT A (preset) or SOFT B (all).

If you only want to store the adjusted preset, please press SOFT A (38). If you

also want to store an active memory along with the adjusted preset, then press

SOFTB (39).

◊ This way, you have the option to generate several variations out

of a single memory. How memories are modified is explained in

chapter 4.1.3.

Should you wish to store additional presets, simply repeat the steps:

1. Adjust the preset (stage design);

2. Select a storage bank using the UP/DOWN keys;

3. Specify the storage location by pressing one of the FLASH keys (22) / (23);

4. Store the preset or the console output (SOFT A or B);

5. If you do not wish to create any more memories, press the QUIT key (40)

toexit.

Repeat these steps with UPPER enabled to program channels 13-24 to the same

memory location.

4.1.2 Fading in scenes

To fade in a programmed scene, simply select a storage bank by using the

UP/DOWN keys and pull up a fader from the B MEMORY section. The fader whose

assigned FLASH key you last pressed while programming is the fader that will

control this memory.

◊ To view a memory setup on the stage and on the LEDs, both fader B (42)

and MAIN fader (43) have to be pulled up.

Recalling memories instantly

By using the FLASH keys (section (4)), you can recall the memories from the

bank you just adjusted, just like retrieving individual channels in preset mode

(“P”shown in the display).

◊ The channel flash function must not be active at this time

(CH FLASH key (32)).

4.1.3 Previewing and modifying memories

To preview memories before fading them in, use the PREVIEW key (21) to

deactivate the console output for this procedure. The setup can only be

observed on the control LEDs. The remaining functions of the EUROLIGHT LC2412

remainactive.

After you press the preview key, the display shows the selected memory bank at

the top right side. Select the memory that you wish to control by using one of the

Flash keys. The memory is then displayed by means of control lights only.

If you wish to modify the memory shown in preview mode, select the MODIFY

function shown in the display by using the SOFT B (39) key (see g. 4.2).

Fig. 4.2: Display “Editing memory in preview mode”

You can implement the desired changes now by using the faders of the A PRESET

section. To change the programmed settings of preset faders, you must rst draw

the fader to its original position. The channels not activated during the previous

programming can be raised as usual.

To save your settings, please select ENTER by using SOFT B. Either conrm the

next memory or quit the preview mode by hitting the QUIT key (40).

Otherwise, you can also program the memory anew, as described at the

beginning of this chapter.

12 EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

4.2 Crossfading between dierent setups

4.2.1 Crossfading between presets and memories

Crossfading between memories and presets works exactly the same way as

crossfading between two presets. The only dierence is that the EUROLIGHT

LC2412 has to be in memory mode.

1. Activate a stored scene (see chapter 4.1.2).

2. Activate a preset by using a fader from the A PRESET section;

fader A remains locked.

3. Now pull fader B down and fader A up. The preset appears at the console

output, while the memories dissappear.

4.2.2 Crossfading between memories

There are several ways to crossfade between memories:

Crossfading steplessly using the FLASH keys

Please take the following required steps, as follows:

1. Disengage the CHANNEL FLASH key (32);

2. Pull up the CHASE fader (50);

3. Press the INSERT key (49);

4. Adjust the X-FADE control (51) to the desired fade in/out speed;

5. Press the FLASH key (one of the (22) / (23) keys).

The memory is faded in. You determine the illumination level by using the CHASE

and the MAIN fader. To switch to another memory, simply press another FLASH

key. You can alternate between two memories (the current one and the one

selected before it) by using the STEP key (53). You can fade in the current preset

setting instead of the memory by using the PRESET FLASH key (44).

◊ Faders A and B ((41) and (42)) as well as the faders of the B MEMORY

section and the A PRESET section can be pulled down; in that case,

only the memories/presets activated by means of the FLASH keys

are visible.

◊ If you are currently replaying a chase, it will be interrupted as soon

as you hit the INSERT key. When you hit the INSERT key for the second

time, the chase resumes.

Manually crossfading between memories using

theX-FADER

If you activate the MANUAL key (54) in addition to the setup desicribed in chapter

4.2.2, you can then determine the crossfade times by switching from memory to

memory using the X-FADE fader.

1. Select a memory using a FLASH key.

2. Now, move the X-FADE fader to an end position, and the memory will be

faded in.

◊ If you select no new memory, you can alternate between the two most

recently used memories back and forth.

Fading memories out

To fade memories out, release the INSERT key (49). If you pull the X-FADE

fader in the same direction while having faded in a memory right before

that, the memory is faded out only when you pull the control down again.

Renewedpulling the control upwards, no memory is displayed.

◊ Activating a chase and interrupting it by pressing the INSERT key

fades in the next CHASE step when you pull the X-FADE fader upward.

To fade out, you have to first select a chase that contains no steps

(see chapter 6.2).

When you let go of the MANUAL key, using the STEP key (53) lets you fade out

withing the time set up using the X-FADE fader.

◊ When a chase is active, and you interrupt it by pressing the INSERT key,

pressing the STEP key fades the next chase step in.

4.2.3 Crossfading between memories of dierent banks

You can change your current storage bank by selecting a new bank using the

UP/DOWN keys. The memory activated previously remains on the stage unti you

pull the fader to zero. The LEDs of the UP/DOWN keys ash in case there are active

memories belonging to the “abandoned” bank. Pull up a memory fader, and the

memory stored at this location in the new storage bank is activated.

◊ The memories that were activated before you changed the bank

remain visible on the stage until you pull the fader down into its

zero position. This way, you can see multiple memories on the stage

(and the respective control lights).

4.3 Preset ash and memory ash

4.3.1 Preset ash

This key activates the ash function for the A PRESET section. If the solo function

is not active, PRESET FLASH adds a lighting conguration (set up in the A PRESET

section) to an active memory (fader A (41) at zero). When the solo function is

active, “pulled up” memories are switched o.

Conguration:

Memory mode, memory fader (13) raised

Fader A (41) closed, MAIN fader (43) raised

Fade in the preset conguration using PRESET FLASH. The A PRESET fader and the

MAIN fader determine the illumination level.

With solo function: memories are deactivated.

4.3.2 Memory ash

The “memory ash” function can be activated to abruptly implement stored

presets (memories) into an active preset, instead of smoothly fading it in using

afader.

◊ No memory can be recalled in preset mode. Additionally,

the “memory flash” function can not be executed.

Conguration:

Memory mode, memory fader (13) raised,

Fader A raised, fader B closed or partially raised, MAIN fader raised.

Fade in the “pulled up” memories using the MEMORY FLASH. The B MEMORY

fader and the MAIN fader determine the illumination level.

With solo function: The preset is deactivated.

13 EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

4.4 Programming memories without

directcontrol (Blind)

In addition to programming memories by using the preview function

(see chapter 4.1.3), you can also program memories using yet another method,

without being visible on the stage. Make sure that the LIVE key (30) is not active.

The fader A also has to be in its zero position.

After having pressed the MEMORY key (25) in the programming section,

select a storage bank by using the UP/DOWN keys and a memory by using the

ash key, and edit it by using the faders from the A PRESET section. The fader

congurations are only indicated by means of control lights on the FLASH keys.

Please conrm your changes by hitting the SOFT A (preset) or SOFT B (all)

keysand then edit another memory, or quit by hitting QUIT.

4.5 Previewing memories individually on the

stage (Live Mode)

Live mode gives you the option to preview individual memories and chases

on the stage, without having to interrupt the program currently running.

Therefore, live mode changes the usual sequence of events that allows you to run

a show on the stage while previewing and editing chases and memories in the

background by using the control LEDs.

In live mode, when preview function is active, you can activate and edit

memories on the stage, without interrupting the current program. It is not visible

for the entire duration of the procedure. The same goes when selecting a chase:

The chase is shown on the stage when the NUMBER key (48) is pressed.

1. First activate PREVIEW.

2. Press the LIVE key (30) to activate live mode.

3. Use the FLASH key to select a memory. The selected memory will be

displayed. By using the “MODIFY” function, you have the option to modify

the memory.

4. Select “MODIFY” with the SOFT B key, edit the memory by using the faders of

the A PRESET section, and conrm your changes with SOFT B (“ENTER”).

5. To quit live mode, disable it by pressing the LIVE key again.

4.6 Additional application of memories

Additional options for using memories stand at your disposal:

1. Implementing memories as “building blocks” for chases

(memory chase, chapter 6.1.2);

2. Implementing memories 9 - 12 via the sound-to-light func-tion, that is,

automatically controlled by music.

5. Sound-to-Light

To use the sound-to-light function, you have to connect a line-level signal source

(CD player, tape deck, mixing console output or similar) to your EUROLIGHT

LC2412. To this end, there is a ¼" TS mono jack connector (ANALOG IN (60)) at the

back of the LC2412. Signal level adjustment is automatic. As described in chapter

2.3, the sound-to-light function aects the memories stored in slots 9 - 12.

Press the SOUND-TO-LIGHT key (20) and pull the faders (14) - (17) in the middle

position. Overall illumination level can be corrected by using the MAIN fader.

You can vary the sound-to-light function by selecting a dierent bank. Rightafter

switching to another bank, new memories are processed by the sound-to-light

function. This is how the sound-to-light function is dierent from the usual bank

change in memory mode.

The sound-to-light function can be freely combined with other console functions.

6. Chase Control

Chases are sequences of stage designs (presets or memories) that can be stored

and can be run in a sequence. The LC2412 can store a total of 650 chase steps,

andcan store 99 chases in in its memory, each of which can be comprised of up

to 99 steps.

There are several options when running chases:

• control via the bass rhythm of a connected audio signal (e. g. CD player);

• control via the internal beat generator (speed set up using the SPEED

fader(52));

• Manually set up steps;

• Crossfading between steps from one to another by means of the

X-FADE fader.

Before that, individual chase steps have to be programmed.

6.1 Programming or erasing chases

Chases can be combined out of presets (level chase) or out of memories

(memory chase).

6.1.1 Programming level chase

1. Please press the CHASE key (26). The program display (35) shows the

following text (example):

Fig. 6.1: Display “programming chases”

“LEVEL” is highlighted after presets have been stored; “MEMORY” is highlighted

Fig 6.6: Selection menu for memory, chase number and beat mode

The memory and storage bank numbers you selected are shown at the upper left

side of the display.

4. Now, select a chase by turning the DATA wheel. The chase selected is

indicated on the control lights, without being visible on the stage.

5. Enter the beat:

a) Input via the DATA wheel: keep the SOFT A key pressed and select a time by

turning the DATA wheel (up to 10 sec.).

b) Automatic control via the bass rhythm: Select the “EXT” option using the

SOFT B key (39). This option lets you control a chase saved in a memory by

means of an external audio signal (bass rhythm). The yellow ash key LED

beats in the rhythm of the bass sound.

6. Exit the programming procedure by pressing QUIT.

6.3.1 Replaying chases stored as memories (CTM)

Replaying chases stored in memories works exactly the same way as replaying

other memories. To replay them on the stage, you have to select the storage bank

and pull up the memory fader and the B fader (42).

6.3.2 Previewing and editing CTM

Replay mode and speed

After successfully programming a chase, you can also preview the replay mode

and the chase speed, without any of these being visible on the stage. This is

particularly uselful when you are arranging a light show and don’t have time to

program a chase in peace.

1. Use the PREVIEW key (21) and select a memory (ash keys 9 - 12) you wish to

preview and/or edit.

Fig 6.7: Display “previewing and modifying CTM”

2. Enter beat measure and replay mode, as described in chapter 6.3 under

point5.

3. Exit the programming sequency by pressing QUIT.

6.4 Previewing chases in live mode

You can use the live mode for chases as well. More detailed information about

live mode can be found in chapter 4.5.

To preview chases in live mode, do the following:

1. Activate the live mode by pressing the LIVE switch (30).

2. Press the NUMBER key (48). The chase is previewed on the stage as long as

you keep the key pressed.

3. To quit live mode, simply press the LIVE switch again.

7. Additional Functions

of the LC2412

7.1 Locking program mode

To avoid having your setups altered by unauthorized persons, you can block the

program mode of your console. There are several blocking functions available.

LOCK PRESET mode

The LC2412 can run only in preset mode. Recalling memories is not possible.

Chases can still be replayed.

LOCK PROGRAMMING mode

The console operates normally, but modifying programmed memories or chase

steps is possible only after the console is unblocked.

Blocking/unblocking

1. Keep the SOFT A and SOFT B keys pressed and simultanously press the FLASH

key for channel 1 (far left).

2. Now you can select various menues with the DATA wheel.

3. After having selected the desired mode, you can block it/unblock it by

pressing the SOFT B key.

4. Exit the programming procedure by pressing QUIT.

7. 2 Putting the output on hold

If you want to freeze the current console output while you can make another

setup, you can use the HOLD key for this purpose.

1. Press the HOLD key (46).

Fig 7.1: Display “put console output on hold”

2. Implement a modication, as desired (recalling and programming memories

and presets is done as described in the respective chapters of this manual).

3. To start a new chase, select this chase as usual by pressing the NUMBER key

and turning the DATA wheel. The chase selected will be indicated on the

control lights as long as you keep the key pressed.

Releasing “Hold”

To softly crossfade between setups, pull the MAIN fader all the way down and

then all the way up. Moving up the fader crossfades between the former setup

and the new one.

The hold mode is automatically deactivated when the MAIN fader reaches its

upper-most position.

By using the SOFT B key, you can select “CANCEL” in the display, so that you quit a

mode. In doing so, the new setup is faded in abruptly.

7. 3 Special channels

Both special channels (8) and (9) are well-suited activating eects

independently from other settings of the EUROLIGHT LC2412. Fog machines,

colorchangers or disco ball motors are such eects. You can program special

activation modes for these eects.

• Toggle mode: The SPECIAL key acts as a switch. Pressing and releasing

the key activates the fog machine (or another function). To deactivate it,

pressand release the SPECIAL key again.

• Flash mode: The SPECIAL key keeps a function active as long as you keep

the key pressed. As soon as you let go of the SPECIAL key, the function

assigned to this channel is again deactivated.

• Kill mode: Similar to ash mode, a function is activated only as long as the

SPECIAL key is kept pressed. However, in addition to this, all other functions

are also temporariliy disabled.

To program the various modes, do the following:

1. Press the UTILITY 2 key (29).

2. Select the “MORE” option using SOFT B.

3. Select the “SELECT SPECIAL” option on the display by using the

SOFT A key (38).

4. SPECIAL 1 key is now labeled with KEY 1 (SPECIAL 2: KEY 2). To change

the mode of this key, keep the SOFT A key (for KEY 1; SOFT B for KEY 2)

pressedand select the desired option using the DATA wheel.

5. Conrm your selecting with the QUIT key (40) and go back to the main menu.

Special channels are labeled console channels 25 and 26 when assigned to DMX

channels (also see chapter 8.2.2.)

17 EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

7.4 Theater mode

You have the option to store a long sequence (99 steps) so that you can dene an

individual crossfade time for each step. This way, you can uploade a framework

for a complete theater piece into the chase storage, and then expand it with

presets and memories. Therefore, think of theater mode as a special kind of chase

programming. To let time sequences be exibely congured, subsequent steps

are not controlled automatically or via a sound signal source. Instead, they are

triggered individually by hand.

Basic setup of the theater mode

To work in theater mode, the following conditions must be met:

• Chase control via the internal beat generator (RUN) must be deactivated,

• Chase control via an external audio signal (SOUND) must be deactivated,

• MANUAL (54) must be deactivated,

• INSERT (49) also has to be deactivated.

7.4 .1 Activating theater mode

To activate theater mode, do the following:

1. Press the UTILITY 1 key.

2. Using the SOFT B key, select the “MORE” option.

3. After that, you can activate/deactivate theater mode using the SOFT B key.

4. To go back to the main menu, press the QUIT key. When theater mode is

active, a “T” is shown in the display.

7.4 . 2 Programming fading times in theater mode

Since theater mode presents a special kind of chases, it also uses the menu and

chase controls to program steps. Similarly, theater mode sequences are stored

aschases.

To program steps for a chase in theater mode, do the following:

1. Activate the theater mode, as described previously.

2. Press the CHASE key (26) and select a chase.

3. Select “LEVEL” or “MEMORY”.

4. Modify the desired step or select a memory.

5. Press the SOFT A key for “ENTER”.

6. Use the DATA wheel to select the desired fade time (up to 10 sec.).

A fade time is displayed if one is already set up.

7. Select “CONT” (continue) option using the SOFT A key. This saves your

programming and lets you enter the next step and fade time.

8. Press the QUIT key to go back to the main menu.

◊ Just like with chases and memories, stored fading times can also be

stored on a memory card.

7. 5 MIDI functions

MIDI commands can be used not only for controlling your instruments but also for

controlling the functions of your LC2412. In order to enter commands, you need

some kind of sequencing software.

The advantage of using MIDI for programming is that you can program an entire

show via MIDI and then simply let it run.

Another simple and clever option lets you transfer existing sequences to a MIDI

sequencer via the MIDI out connecor. A MIDI implementation chart as well

as the required information on individual controllers can be found in this

manual’s appendix.

7.5.1 Cascading two EUROLIGHT LC2412s

Using MIDI also lets you cascade a second LC2412 to your console. To this end,

connect the MIDI OUT connector (58) of the rst console (transmitting unit)

withthe MIDI IN connector (59) of the second LC2412 (receiving unit).

Now, you have to activate the MIDI operating mode in the menu.

Do the following:

1. Press UTILITY 2 key.

2. Select the “MORE” option.

Fig. 7.2: Display “SELECT MIDI”

3. Select the “SELECT MIDI” option.

Fig. 7.3: Display “MIDI channel”

4. Now you can use the DATA wheel to select the MIDI channel used to receive

(IN) or to send (OUT). Set up the console to “receive” with the SOFT A key or

to “send” with SOFT B key.

All settings implemented on the rst console are to be repeated on the second

console (e.g. changing storage bank). You can recall presets, memories and

chases on the rst console (master). In doing so, only control commands are

transmitted; the storage banks of the second console (slave) are not modied.

◊ This does not however refer to the MAIN fader of the second

console. You control the basic illumination level of the receiving

console manually.

Programming

When you cascade two light consoles, you must implement the programming

of chases and memories in parallel, that is, specic modications to memory

settings are not automatically carried over from one console to the other.

Onlyrecall commands are transmitted.

7.6 Storing data on a memory card

The EUROLIGHT LC2412 is an extremely exible lighting console, and you can use

it for a plethora of possible applications. You can additionally expand the range

of its possible applications by storing complete chases and memories onto a

memory card (PCMCIA ATA Flash card with 4 MB memory). This feature proves

itself particularly useful when you work for various artists on dierent locations:

you will save yourself a lot of time and worries.

• Insert the memory card into its slot (24). The LC2412 automatically

recognizes the card. To use a new card, you rst have to format it. To do that,

select“YES”.

• Now you can select one of the 25 storage locations using the DATA wheel.

Each of the 25 locations can store the complete set of data containing all

console settings.

• The display shows if the storage location you selected already contains some

data or not.

• With the SOFT A (“SAVE”) you can now transmit the data from the console’s

memory onto the memory card. Pressing SOFT B (“LOAD”) transmitts the

data in the other direction: from the memory card into the memory of

theconsole.

◊ Attention: Storing data on a storage location that already contains

some data automatically replaces this data. Similarly, the data on the

console’s memory is replaced when you transmit the data from the

memory card. If you wish to keep this data, make sure to first store it to

a memory card.

◊ Since the LC2412 uses its own data format, once you format a memory

card on it, you can no longer read this card on a PC!

7.7 Adjusting diering illumination levels

The EUROLIGHT LC2412 lets you adjust illumination levels of various lighting

elements to one another so they better match each other. This lets you increase

illumination levels of lighting elements whose illumination is insucient for a

specic fader position. In that case, the lighting element whose illumination level

was insucient shines suciently brightly.

Program this setting by doing the following:

1. Press UTILITY 1.

2. Select the “MORE” option using SOFT B.

3. Select “SELECT CURVE” using SOFT A.

4. The display now shows in its upper left portion the channel, to its right the

status “LINEAR” (standard setting) or “CURVE” (increase). You can now set up

the desired setting for this channel by using SOFT A or SOFT B.

5. By using the DATA wheel you can select the desired channel.

6. Complete the programming procedure by pressing QUIT.

7.8 Erasing all settings/displaying

softwareversion

To erase all programmed settings and start from scratch, do the following:

1. Press and keep pressed the SOFT A and SOFT B keys. Then press the FLASH1

key. The software version is shown in the display.Die Software-Version

wird im Display angezeigt. Turn the DATA wheel to get to additional menus

and displays (erase memory, lock programming functions, free memory,

internalA/D converter condition, self-test).

2. “DELETE ALL” appears in the display, along with the “YES” option. Select this

option with SOFT B.

Fig. 7.5: Display “erase all settings”

3. We have created an additional step for your safety. Use the Soft A (“NO”)

or Soft B (“YES”) keys located under the respective options to select one or

the other. Selecting “YES” erases all memories and stored chases. In doing

so, allsettings relevant to the console’s functions are reset to their factory

settings (SOLO ALL ENABLED, CURVE ALL LINEAR).

8.1 Analog control

In addition to the modern DMX512 interface, you can control your EUROLIGHT

LC2412’s dimmers using the conventional analog outputs (ANALOG OUT (57),

0 - 10 V DC). However, this lets you control only twelve dimmer channels plus two

special channels (only “0 Volts” or “10 Volts”).

◊ Whenever possible, use a multicore cable to connect your LC2412 to the

dimmer rack, and apportion the cable to individual dimmer packs only

once the cable reaches the rack.

8.1.1 Controlling analog dimmers via DMX512

What at rst seems like an error is in reality a very useful feature: By using a

so-called demultiplexers (demux), you can convert digital commands into analog

and therefore control your analog dimmer packs.

The advantage of such a conguration is apparent: you can address the

demultiplexer freely, that is, it can for example begin with channel 12 and

therefore convert control commands from console channels 13 - 24 into analog

signals (DMX channel 0 is controlled one-to-one by console channel 1 and so on,

hence the numbering oset). Furthermore, you need only short multicores for

analog control, since you can arrange the demultiplexer near the dimmers and

send control commands via a single DMX line.

8.2 Digital control via DMX512

8.2.1 Digital control features

The EUROLIGHT LC2412 features a modern digital interface according to the

DMX512 Digital Data Transmission Standard For Dimmers And Controllers, thatwas

established in April 1990 by the USITT Engineering Commission (United States

Institute for Theatre Technology, Inc.). Since virtually all modern equipment uses

this standard (even if it is done with partially dierent plug-in connectors), your

EUROLIGHT LC2412 is therefore extremely exible in how it can be implemented.

A big advantage of digital control is its enourmously simplied cabling, sinceyou

only need one single cable for transmitting control data. This sets the DMX

system apart from its analog conterparts, which need an extra control cable for

each individual channel. Another big advantage is made possible by the freely

addressable receivers, which is done by menas of software. You can therefore

save yourself from having to painstakingly lay cables each time you wish to

assign a particular dimmer to a dierent channel. Additional information on this

subject can be found in chapter 8.2.2.

Interface format (EIA-485)

The DMX512 standard uses the RS485 interface standard for data transmission,

well-known for its impunity to interferrence. The data are serially transmitted in

the asynchron fashion at a transmission rate of 250 kBit/s, successively for each of

the connected dimmers (up to 512 channels). The more dimmers are connected,

the longer the time interval until the next command on this channel.

◊ It is advisable to limit the number of deployed channels in order to

ensure a maximum refresh rate. Therefore, do not use more channels

than you actually need.

In combination with the DMX512 standard, you can run up to 32 loads on a single

sender (LC2412). One load responds to one DMX512/RS485 receiver, for example,

the way it is implemented in a dimmer pack.

If you wish to run more than 32 loads, we recommend using level translaters

and/or signal splitters.

8.2.2 Assigning DMX channels (Softpatch)

Softpatch means: you can assign up to three freely selectable DMX channels to a

console channel.

◊ Each of the DMX channels can be assigned to only one fader.

Otherwise, contradicting commands would be given with various

fader settings.

To make the capabilities of the DMX512 as well as the capabilities of the LC2412

transparent, we have to draw a clear distinction between three dierent kinds

ofchannels:

Console channels

The channels of your LC2412 (= 24+2 channels) are 26 routes through which you can

send commands. This in no way means that you can only control 24 lightingelements.

Dimmer channels (Dimmer Loops)

Dimmer packs represent the power section of a light control system, comparable

to power ampliers of a PA installation in the audio eld. Each dimmer channel

is assigned to one DMX channel, that is, it can receive commands from only one

channel. For example, if a dimmer loop can handle a maximum power rating of

2.3 kW, you can connect several lamps, spotlights and similar (e.g. 4 x 500 W).

20 EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual

DMX channels

A DMX channel consists out of one digitally transmitted information unit

(1Byte/8 Bit), whereas 256 dierent information units can be transmitted.

These units are transmitted sequentially, that is, channels 0 and upwards

on the sender are accounted for, and the respective information units are

assigned. Thesequence then starts anew at the next channel. In the worst-case

scenario (all 512 channels are in use) the refresh rate has the value of 44.1 Hz.

Youcan derive from this that it is advisable to only use as many channels as you

actuallyneed.

Since there are 24 channels with adjustable illumination (to each of which 3DMX

channels can be assigned), there is a total of 72 DMX channels that can be laid

out. Additionally, there are two special channels, each of which can switch a

maximum of 2 DMX channels on and o.

To assign the desired DMX channels to individual console channels (or to preview

the assignment of channels), go through the following steps:

1. Press the UTILITY 2 key.

Fig. 8.2: Display “DMX Patch 1”

2. Select “DMX PATCH” using the SOFT A key.

Fig. 8.3: Display “DMX Patch 2”

The console channel is shown in the top left portion of the menu.

Theconnected DMX channels are shown to its right (standard setting

is 1:1. Example: Console channel 01 is connected to DMX channel 000,

console channel 08 is connected to DMX channel 07, etc.).

The DMX channel is shown in the lower left line; its status is shown next to it

(NU = Not Used or USE 1...512). In our example DMX channel 000 is connected to

console channel 01.

3. Use the Flash keys to rst select the console channel to which you wish to

assign a DMX channel (channels13 - 24: switch to upper mode, SPECIAL 1

(channel 25) and SPECIAL2 (channel 26) by pressing (8) and (9)).

4. Select a DMX channel usign the DATA wheel.

If this DMX channel is already occupied, this will be shown in the display

together with the respective console channel number. Select the console

channel (Flash key), and select “OPEN” (SOFT B key). Start again at step 3.

Alternatively, you can also select a dierent DMX channel.

5. Press the SOFT A key (“CONNECT” option) and connect the console channel

with the DMX channel. If you wish to connect multiple DMX channels with

the same console channel, simply select an additional DMX channel and

proceed with the connection as previously described.

6. Use the QUIT key to go back to the main menu.

Connecting channels 1:1 (one-to-one) or disengaging

allconnections

1. Perform steps 1 and 2, as described under 8.2.3.

2. Press the SHIFT key (37).

Fig. 8.4: Display “DMX Patch 3”

3. Now, select “ALL CLEAR” using the SOFT B key to disengage all connections.

Use SOFT A to go back to the standard setting, “ALL 1:1.”

9. Installation

You will need various types of cables for dierent applications. Thefollowing

illustrations show you how to lay out these cables. Always use only high-grade cables.

9.1 Cables recommended for DMX512

The cables should be manufactured according to EIA-485 or EIA-422

specications. Using shielded, twisted, double-stranded data transmission cables

is recommended. For example, these are the same cables used for transmitting

digital audio data in the AES/EBU format. You can also implement lines with a

second wire set, used as a replacement in case of a malfunction.

Using high-quality mic cables is also possible, but their length shold be limited to

500 m due to the high cable capacity near a data line.

9.2 Terminal resistor (Bus Termination)

Using a termnal resistor at the end of the line is an additional condition needed for

glitch-free data transmission. To this end, a 120-Ohm resistor is located between

both conductors (Pin 2 and Pin 3) in an extra connector. Connectthis connector

to the DMX out connector of the last piece of equipment in the DMX chain.

Shorterconnections (up to several meters/roughly 15 ft) dorequiretermination.

9.3 Pin assignment

9.3.1 DMX512 connections
