Like its predecessor, the DMX Operator 192 is an affordable 192-channel controller that can operate up to 12 intelligent fixtures, with as many as 16 DMX channels each, however the DMX Operator 192 also goes well beyond the original.
One of the new upgrades is a joystick for controlling pan and tilt. Users can assign any one of the 12 fixtures to the joystick - and enjoy smooth, easy, precision control of its movements at the flick of the stick. The DMX Operator 192 also features an encoder wheel that can be used as an alternative to the stick.
Another new feature is USB input, which allows users to plug in an optional USB Lite or USB Memory Stick. Users can illuminate their work area with a USB light, or they can back up their shows on a memory stick for instant recall, without having to re-set their fixtures for each performance, also included is a Fog Machine trigger button, compatible with selected American DJ foggers.
The DMX Operator is equipped with eight control faders and can record up to 12 programmable chases with fade time and speed. It can handle a total of 240 programmable scenes via 30 programmable scene banks. Other features include: a Blackout Button; Tap Sync button for chase speed override; built-in microphone for sound trigger; line level RCA audio input for music trigger; and MIDI input for scene, chase or blackout trigger. The DMX Operator 192 also comes equipped with an LCD display, DMX polarity switch, and power failure memory.(Sarah Rushton-Read)
