Involight ShowControl DMX-512 Controller – Professional Lighting Control for Moving Heads and Scanners

The Involight ShowControl DMX-512 Controller is a specialized lighting console designed for managing moving heads, scanners, and other DMX-enabled lighting fixtures. With 8 pre-programmed movement patterns and up to 24 device controls, the ShowControl allows users to create professional lighting shows with ease. Ideal for both live and pre-programmed events, this DMX controller brings intuitive operation and flexibility to lighting setups in various performance environments.

Intuitive Control for Moving Heads and Scanners

The ShowControl DMX-512 includes 8 pre-programmed movement patterns, allowing moving heads to perform shapes like circles, figure eights, and other motion effects with a single button. Each pattern’s speed, direction, and size can be easily adjusted, allowing users to tailor the movements to match the pace and dynamics of the event. The controller’s “Delay” function adds staggered movements between devices, creating synchronized and visually engaging effects when using multiple fixtures.

Comprehensive Lighting Management and Scene Programming

Capable of managing up to 24 devices with a maximum of 26 DMX channels each, the Involight ShowControl offers extensive control over complex lighting setups. The console features 36 programmable scenes that can be combined into chases, with each chase able to store up to 100 scenes, providing a robust framework for intricate show designs. Users can trigger chases manually or set them to music or timed intervals, offering versatility for various types of events.

Advanced Color Mixing with HSV Controls

For connected wash lights and multi-color fixtures, the ShowControl DMX controller includes advanced HSV color mixing (Hue, Saturation, Value) using three dedicated rotary knobs. This system allows for precise control over color selection, saturation, and brightness, creating vivid color transitions and a broad palette for lighting effects. The controller also includes four pre-programmed color-changing sequences, perfect for instant lighting ambiance adjustments.

Additional Features for Enhanced Functionality

The ShowControl DMX console includes a special fog machine button for seamless integration of fog effects, adding depth and atmosphere to lighting displays. A “Blackout” function allows instant blackout control for dramatic effect, and assignable jog wheels provide intuitive access to frequently used features. The controller also offers 8 channel faders across 3 pages for straightforward management of DMX channel assignments and effects.

USB Backup and User-Friendly Display

The built-in USB port allows users to back up shows, scenes, and chases to a USB stick, ensuring data safety and easy restoration if needed. The controller’s backlit LCD display with 2x16 characters provides clear visibility of settings and adjustments, even in low-light environments. These practical features enhance ease of use, making the Involight ShowControl suitable for both beginner and advanced users.

The ShowControl DMX-512 Controller is designed for standard 19" rack mounting, with a compact form factor that occupies only 3U of rack space. Its dimensions and lightweight design make it an easy addition to any lighting rig, suitable for both permanent installations and portable setups.
