The Stage CL features 12 channels, each with their own saturation and hue encoders so you can adjust the color you want. As you turn the dials, an LED on the channel shows the color you’re creating. Operation is so intuitive that even someone with no experience with lighting can grasp it immediately. And, of course, each channel has the traditional fader and flash button to set the intensity of the light. With the Stage CL, you can control up to 512 DMX channels, connecting either through the DMX-512 output or the Ethernet output (if your lights support Art-net). As well as giving you total manual control, the Stage CL’s automation features enable you to create sophisticated shows quickly and easily. You can do just about everything without needing the screen; but when you want to get into detail, the Stage CL’s touch-screen display provides an easy-to-use interface. Here you can patch your lights, monitor playback, edit scenes, edit chases & cues, adjust fade times, apply preset colors, and set up the console preferences.
