    Light Controller
  • controls up to 128 lights with dynamic effects
  • operates voltage controlled professional light units (0 - 10V)
  • expansion consists of two to four boards, depending on the number of needed outputs:
    • Disco 32: BDL1 and BDL2 board, 32 output channels (16 static / 16 dynamic)
    • Disco 64: BDL5 and BDL6 board, 64 output channels (32 static / 32 dynamic)
    • Disco 96: three boards, 96 output channels
    • Disco 128: four boards, 128 output channels
  • D-SUB 37 pin output connector on each board
  • main board (BDL1 or BDL5) contains 1/4" audio input jack (6.35mm)
  • input characteristics: sensitivity 300mV - 1V, input impedance 22kOhms
  • potentiometer on main board to adjust audio gain
  • software provides ambience table for 72 atmospheres / moods
  • ambiences can be assigned to all 26 letter keys for quick start
  • special "Strobo" ambience is triggered by space bar
  • static channels are controlled by function keys
  • dynamic effects:
    • modulator - modulate dynamic outputs depending on the volume
    • x-fader - waving left to right
    • chaser - chasing output
    • animaters - musical animation
    • sequencer with 16 channels, synchronized to rhythm, to volume, or manual setting 1 - 1200 bpm
  • MIDI support allows to monitor 16 output channels through an external MIDI instrument connected to the serial port
    Notes
  • Pin assignment of output connector
