SHOWTEC 50711 Easy Fade 36

Powerful theatre control for generic and moving lights, with a fast, easy to use interface.

For too long the creativity of lighting professionals has been stifled by the limitations and
excessive cost of high end lighting control. The Illusion has been designed to challenge
this status quo. Using leading edge technology, exceptional graphics and user definable
modes of operation, the Illusion performs as a fast, effective lighting tool.

The addition of moving light control software to the Illusion makes it an exceptionally powerful
controller with many features previously only found in more expensive consoles. The only limit
on the number of moving lights available is the 512 DMX channels available. Three high resolution
encoders allow for easy control of the moving light parameters.
To facilitate ease of programming the Illusion makes use of palettes or focus groups for each type
of LTP parameter. Building memories using palettes will ensure that changes to any palette are
tracked through to the associated memories.
Separate fade times can be set for parameters and for brightness channels allowing for exceptional
flexibility in replaying shows. To further facilitate programming the Illusion has a powerful effects
engine that allows for the creation of not only movement effects but also colour and beam effects.
The comprehensive library of fixtures available ensures that the user can program any moving light.
Fixture libraries are updated on a regular basis or it is possible to create your own unique fixture
personalities using a free software tool.
Programming moving lights is simple whether using the mouse and screen commands or using
command line syntax. With powerful editing tools the desk allows users to track changes to
memories forward and backwards or to change a single cue.

With 500 channels as standard, the Illusion features the phenomenally powerful Cueline system,
which gives instant and clear graphical representation of the cue list allowing easy visualisation,
operation and editing. The graphical user interface and memory stack are fully integrated.
Modifications in the memory stack automatically update the Cueline system and vice versa.
Using Cueline it is possible to create multipart cues that alter different parameters making the
playback of moving lights intuitive and simple.Clear front panel controls can be configured to suit
your preferred style of operation, with a choice of command line operation or full GUI. Powerful shortcuts,
associations and macros can be set up to aid the programming operation whilst flexible linking and
triggering operations make the replay of complex lighting sequences extremely simple.
Multi-part cues, linked submasters, follow-ons, audio effects, channel groups and full LTP channel
control can all be achieved without the need to search through endless menus or remember confusing
key sequences.

24/48 channels of control in a tough, colourful package

The ?Frog? range of control desks builds upon the foundations of the Sirius and XL families
using the latest technologies to bring new and improved features. As Zero 88 products,
the Frog desks naturally retain the same ease of use, reliability and affordability as their
predecessors.
The Frog can control up to 48 generic channels, which may be manually or automatically
patched to any of the 512 DMX channels. It is fitted with a floppy drive for loading and saving
show data, a remote ?Go? port and an output for a monitor.Memories can be recorded as scenes
or chases, each having its own fade times and modifiers. Memories may be played back with
the crossfade master and the ?Go? button for sequential, pre-programmed shows. Extra flexibility
is afforded through the 240 submasters allowing for the creation of lighting effects for the more
spontaneous shows.

Features
    * 2 preset operation
    * DMX output with DMX Patch
    * 240 Submasters
    * Theatre style memory stack with up to 400 memories
    * Chase effects and Audio Effects
    * On board floppy disk drive
    * Video output
    * 48 control channels

A powerful controller for the more demanding applications.

Following the phenomenal success of the Frog range over the last three years Zero 88 have
developed the Frog 2 - a new console which takes the Frog philosophy of ease of use and
value for money to a whole new level.Frog 2 will add a new dimension to the current Frog range
of consoles. Designed to be used in the most demanding environments requiring lighting
control the Frog 2 will appeal to users looking for ease of programming, comprehensive playback
choices, live busking or stand alone control of architectural type events.
The Frog 2 can control up to 2048 channels of DMX. DMX connection is either through traditional
5 Pin XLR connectors or via Ethernet. All the facilities needed for future RDM and ACN compatibility
are included in the hardware.To allow for effective control the Frog 2 offers multiple cue stack playback,
comprehensive palette selections and effects libraries. The use of macros allows for the automatic
programming and playback of shows.For busking in live environments there are 2000 user definable
buttons and 1000 faders that can be assigned to control anything from a single channel to a group
of fixtures to a complete memory. Using macros these controls can be loaded from a memory or
from a cue stack as part of the running of a show.
Comprehensive feedback is provided via two monitors and an onboard touch screen. It is also possible
to display up to nine different sets of information simultaneously. It is possible to define specific user
views to allow each user to have an operational environment best suited to their needs.
Storing shows is possible on either a USB memory stick or using the built in CD writer. There are 3
USB ports on the Frog 2 making it possible to use a variety of USB accessories including touch
screen monitors.
The mechanical design of the Frog 2 has ensured that it has the smallest footprint possible while
ensuring all the controls are ergonomically accessible. It is also possible to operate the console while
it is in its flight-case base without damaging any connectors.
