The company says: "It's clean, straightforward, intuitive user Interface offers tools like Patch Wizard and Auto Palettes to consolidate all the prep work, leaving LDs, programmers and operators free to work faster and more harmoniously."
FLX offers 2,048 freely assignable control channels with no fixture patch limitations and is supported by four rotary encoders, 24 dedicated playback faders (with 10 pages) and four UDK's (User Definable Keys).
FLX uses Fe-RAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) to store every button press in real-time and ensure that every second of the work is saved without any battery backup.
Additional USB wings - each with 24 more playback faders - can be added via USBs positioned all around the desk - for complete convenience and full flexibility.
A scratch resistant dual skin constructed metal body encloses the fan-free electronics and ensures that the FLX Lighting Console and Wings can perform "in the most demanding environments".
"The simple yet sophisticated philosophy of FLX enables operators of all backgrounds and experience levels to instantly feel comfortable due to familiar industry standard syntax and intuitive fader-per-channel intensity control," the company says.
