SHOWTEC 50831 Showmaster 48 MKII

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.

24/48 Channels of dimming control with capability for 12 moving lights

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 FatFrog can control up to 48 generic channels, which may be manually or automatically
patched to any of the 512 DMX channels, there is also capability for control of up to 12
intelligent fixtures. The desk 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.Don?t be fooled by its simplicity and
ease of use; the Fat Frog offers a host of powerful features, making it a formidable tool for creating
shows. Its versatility makes it ideal for all entertainment lighting applications allowing even relatively
inexperienced operators to create exciting shows.
The movement effects engine allows for simple and rapid programming of commonly used effects,
whilst the inbuilt fixture library enables simple selection and manipulation of the moving lights. The
unique ?F.R.O.G.? (fixture random output generator) function can instantly generate unique lighting
effects. These may be outputted automatically or stepped through, with desired looks being recorded
