MAIN fader. It determines the maximum illumination level of
all commands at the console’s output.
PRESET FLASH key. You can execute the entire A PRESET
section with this flash key, that is, activate the A PRESET
section on the stage, even if the the A fader
down. As soon as you let go of the key, the lights fade
again. More information about this subject is found in
chapter 4.3.
MEMORY FLASH key. Has the same function for the B
memory section.
Also, two additional keys in this section affect the entire console
output:
HOLD key. Freezes the current settings, while you select
a new preset, recall a different memory or implement an
entirely different configuration. This procedure is described
in chapter 7.2.
BLACKOUT switch. Completely dimms all lighting elements.
This function affects the entire console output, that is, it
also affects the chases. The dimming is done abruptly. If
you want the dimming to take place softly, use the MAIN
fader. Console settings can be altered while the console
output is deactivated. To illuminate the stage again, hit the
BLACKOUT key again. The control LED dies out.

2.7 Control elements of the chase section

Fig. 2.8: The chase section
NUMBER key. Selects a chase, enabling you to show
individual chases on the control LEDs (automatic preview).
The control LED of the NUMBER key lights up, as long as
chases are active in any form. This means, the LED lights
up even when the chase is not active, but just “dialed in”,
ready for action. When you select a chase whose steps
have still not been programmed, the LED dies out after
letting go of the key. The LED also dies out when the CHASE
fader is pulled down.
INSERT key. Activating this key while a chase is running
lets you alternate between the current step and the one
preceeding it by pressing the STEP key
can also be executed utilizig the X-FADE control (MANUAL
MODE key activated). Additional information on this
subject can be found in chapter 6.2.6.
CHASE fader. Controls the illumination level of a complete
chase setup. Separate ratios of a memory incorporating
this chase remain intact.
X-FADE control. Used to manually dissolve between
individual chase steps. Can also be used to dissolve
between memories. Additionally, fade-in speed of chase
steps can be configured, provided this speed was not
already determined in theatre mode (only when theatre
10
mode is active). More detailed information on this subject
can be found in chapters 6.2.3 and 7.4.
SPEED fader. Controls chase speed.
STEP key. Manually triggers chase steps. This can also be
is fully
done while chases are already active. This function can
also be remotely controlled by using a footswitch.
MANUAL MODE key. Assigned to the X-FADE control. When
the MANUAL MODE key is activated, turning the X-FADE
control back and forth either fades back and forth between
two chase steps (INSERT key activated)
steps in after one another (INSERT key deactivated). A
more detailed overview of the various possibilities of fading
in/out can be found in chapter 6.2.4.
SOUND/RUN MODE key. Selectively activates chase
control by means of bass rythm (SOUND)
the internal speed control (RUN).

2.8 Rear panel connectors of the LC2412

DMX512 OUT connector. The digital output of the LC2412
is provided by means of a 5-pole XLR connector. You can
connect a dimmer pack. It can be used to process digital
control commands according to the DMX512 control
protocol.
ANALOG OUT connector. The analog output is meant for
controlling via the analog standard (0 to +10 V DC) and is
implemented as a Sub D connector. Used to connect dimmer
pack that don’t use the modern DMX512 control protocol.
Fig. 2.10: Additional back-panel connectors
MIDI OUT connector. MIDI data can be forwarded from the
MIDI OUT connector to a second LC2412 or another MIDI
sequencer/PC by using a corresponding cable (connect it
to the MIDI IN connector on the receiving unit). This lets you
control two consoles in parallel, that is, a total of 156 DMX
channels are at your disposal.
MIDI IN connector. Used to feed in MIDI data (e.g. from a
MIDI sequencer or another LC2412) to control the LC2412.
. This function
ANALOG IN connector. Connect an output of your mixing
console, your CD player or another analog signal source to
this 1/4" TS mono jack connector. This lets you use the
sound-to-light function and musical control of chases.
FOOTSWITCH connector. Connect a footswitch here to
remotely control the STEP key. Additional information about
this subject can be found in chapter 6.2.4.
