The sections: (1) A PRESET section, (2) B MEMORY-
(EN)
section + bank display, (3) sound to light,
(4) FLASH keys, (5) programming section,
(6) MAIN section, (7) CHASE section.
(8) SPECIAL 1 key. Used to activate a special
channel, for example for turning a fog
machine on/off.
(9) SPECIAL 2 key. The same function as SPECIAL
1 key. Just like in the case of other channels,
three DMX channels can be assigned to
these two channels (i.e. to SPECIAL 1/2).
Both special channels are then labeled as
channels 25 and 26 on the console. SPECIAL
1 and SPECIAL 2 keys can be programmed as
switches, keys or kill keys.
(10) POWER switch. Used to power up the
EUROLIGHT LC2412. The POWER switch should
always be in the "Off" position when you
connect the unit to the mains.
The BNC connector is used for connecting a
(11)
gooseneck lamp (optional).
(12) Faders 1-12. Used to set the intensity of light
elements connected to the dimmer pack.
UPPER switch. When you press this switch,
(33)
the A PRESET section is switched to the twelve
additional channels. After that, you can set up
the intensity of channels 13 - 24.
These faders control the illumination level of
(13)
an entire group of channels in a ratio to one
another that you previously determined by
setting up the A PRESET faders and saving this
setting as a memory.
(14) – (17) These faders are also a part of this section,
but they have a double function. When the
LC2412 is in sound to light mode (party light
function), they control the illumination level
of individual memories assigned to particular
frequency ranges.
(18) The BANK display shows the storage bank
to which the memories you recall belong.
It also shows if the LC2412 is currently in
preset mode ("P" diplayed). The display starts
flashing when you switch into preset mode,
and lights up constantly after three seconds.
The preset mode is active only after the
flashing has stopped. This prevents accidental
activation of the preset mode as well as
rough fades.
(19) UP/DOWN keys. Use them to select a preset
bank (0 - 9) or switch into preset mode (P).
The control lights flash when you select a new
bank while memories from the previous bank
are still active (the fader(s) is(are) pulled up).
Pull the fader(s) ((13), (14)-(17)) down to fade
the memory out. When you pull the fader(s)
up again, the memory of the new preset bank
is visible on the stage.
(20) SOUND TO LIGHT key.
(21) PREVIEW key. It gives you the option to
preview (or modify) stored memories one
more time before implementing them on
the stage.
(22) FLASH keys. Pressing one of the FLASH keys
sets the respective channel to the maximum
illumination level set on the MAIN fader,
independent from its own fader position.
For this purpose, the CH FLASH key (32) has
to be pressed. The channel flash function is
automatically activated in preset mode.
(23) Dual-function FLASH keys. Memories or
chases can be stored to memory positions
9 - 12 (chase to memory). When a respective
storage bank is selected, chases are indicated
with yellow LEDs. Chases can also be recalled
by using the Flash keys.
(24) PCMCIA CARD slot. This interface accepts the
memory card on which you can store your
console setups.
(25) MEMORY key. By pressing the MEMORY key
once, you initiate the procedure that saves a
stage scene.
(26) CHASE key. Used to initiate the programming
procedure (intended for creating a chase).
(27) The CTM key (stands for chase to memory)
brings up the menu for storing chases.
Basically, you can store completely
programmed chases into memory. Each of
the ten memory banks has four memory slots
(9 - 12) available for this purpose.
(28) UTILITY 1. This key takes you to the following
programming menus: DISABLE SOLO,
SELECT CURVE and THEATRE MODE.
(29) UTILITY 2. This key takes you to the
following programming menus: DMX PATCH,
SELECT MIDI and SELECT SPECIAL.
