  • Page 6: Introduction

    1 - 1 1. Introduction The Event 4 lighting control console is designed for stage, theatre, corporate, and live music applications. It has been designed to control all equipment with a DMX-512 input. New fixture types can be added by modifying the fixture library disk if they are not available on the existing release library.

  • Page 7: Equipment Description

    3 - 1 2. Equipment Description The Event 4 is constructed using a folded steel chassis, covered with a reverse screened lexan. The decorative wooden ends are made from plantation growth native Australian timber mounted on an aluminium former, which provides structural rigidity.

    • Do not overtighten the base screws. 2.4 Precautions and Installation Notes The Event 4 should be installed in a position which allows sufficient ventilation around the back panel vents – there should be at least 100mm clear space around the back panel.

  • Page 9: Circuit Notes

    Circuit Notes 3 - 1 3. Circuit Notes The Event 4 uses a main CPU to provide all processing functions. The CPU communicates with the front panel PCBs via the front panel card bus. 3.1 Processor Card The major functional blocks are as follows:...

    After a fault has been removed this device takes approximately one minute to reset, and during this time the keyboard should be disconnected or the console switched off. Revision 1 - 07 July 1999 Event 4 TECHNICAL MANUAL...

  • Page 11: Expansion Bus

    3.2 Front Panel Cards All front panel cards follow a design similar to that of other Jands consoles. A multiplexed 8 bit data/address bus is used to exchange bytes of information between the CPU and the front panel cards. The pin connections however are not compatible and under no circumstances should Event, ESP2, and Jandshog type front panel circuit boards ever be connected to an Event 4 CPU card.

    Selecting the Load FLASH option initiates the software reload sequence from diskette. Ensure you have an Event 4 software diskette with the file “EVENT4.BIN in the drive and follow the instructions on the LCD. Note that this facility should be used with caution and it is not recommended that software be reloaded at a critical time, eg.
