tecSAM Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi all, Currently looing into controllers for basic band work and basic stuff like 'uplighting' walls and such. Anyway.. I have been looking around and came across this lighting controller.. and would love to know what you think of it? One of the concerns that I had is that it may be a bit limiting.. as I am unsure whether you can programme more than one DMX channel to a fader.. which would be ok to start with.. but limiting if I expanded with more lights.. (say LED pars with 5 channels each) http://www.terralec.co.uk/dmx_lighting_con...el/16034_p.html Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Chivers Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just had a quick look at a catalogue, (for once had the right one at home :) ) and it only appears to be able to output 48 channels. Similarly the Scenesetter 24, only does 24.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Console Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Looks very similar to the desk BR member mikienorth and I had to use in Menorca. Once I got the hang of programming, it seemed OK. For basic band work, I think it will be fine, ish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Allen Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 This desk is badged under several names, the Showtec Showmaster 48 http://www.showfotos.nl/manuals/SHOWTEC%20...0Rev_2007-E.pdf is one. The desk is limited to 48 channels but is a good economical desk for a school. You can program a scene to have several channels under one fader but cannot soft patch to allow additional channels beyond the desks 48 channel limit.

Sam Whitehead Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I have used this desk and it is a good desk but does not have the room for expnsion in the future. a friend of mine uses a simlar desk and finds that it would be usefull to run more than 1 scene at a time, therfore quite a limitation. go for the computer software :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
