EUROLIGHT LC2412

Comparable to a mixing console in a recording studio, a light

mixing console is a switching central for stage lighting. Therefore,

a light mixing console has to be absolutely reliable and under no

circumstances leave you stranded. We created our LC2412 using

the most modern components in order to guarantee you the

maximum reliability possible.

But without functionality, no amount of reliability is of use to

you. Thats why we integrated a tremendeous number of func-

tions in an extremely compact unit. You have always full control

of the light conditions, regardless whether you run the light show

at a live concert, a club or on a stage. To enable you complete

control over the current setup, the EUROLIGHT LC2412 has an

intuitive design structure and features a large number of LEDs

and a large LCD display.

A light mixing console is basically a controlling unit that

comprises a full system once it is integrated with a power source

and light elements.

Two different standards have established themselves in the

field of light control (analog controlling with 0 to +10 V and digital

controlling via the DMX512 control protocol). Your LC2412 is

compatible with both. The extent of controlling your lighting

situation can range from simply fading lights in and out, all the

way to configuring and programming entire light shows. You

can manually control the speed at which a program runs, enter

the desired speed into a preset for each step, or let it be

automatically determined by an internal beat generator. On the

other hand, you can control this beat generator by using a fader,

or let your musical program directly determine the beat for the

lighting setup.
Presets

Complex lighting situations can be set up using single faders

(each controlling up to 24 channels, whereby up to 72 single

dimmers can be controlled). You can light up individual channels

at full blast independently from their fader position using the

FLASH keys.
Memories

Presets can be stored into ten separate preset banks (with

twelve memory slots each), and can also be individually recalled.

All memories can be archived by using separate PCMCIA memory

cards.
Chases

The expression Chases refers to situations in which

individually programmed light steps (up to 99 steps) are executed

in succession (the lights chase each other). These steps can

be both individual presets as well as memories.

You can create extremely complex chases. For example,

parameters such as fade-in speed of a step, chase sequence

speed and their control via the built-in beat generator or music

can all be programmed.
Crossfade

There are several ways to alternate between various stored

or newly developed lighting situations. Conversely, you can also

alternate back and forth between individual steps of a single

chase manually or automatically.
Preview

With this function, you can preview stored memories or chases

without these being visible on the stage. This way, you can

discretely control the next step before letting it be seen on the

stage.
Sound to light

This function is more widely known as party light. It basically

means that your music drives the light show. An incomming

music signal is broken down into three frequency ranges (bass,

mids and highs), each of which is assigned to a (memory) channel.

Depending on the volume of the respective signal segments, the

lights assigned to them will shine accordingly. You can even

program a setup for song pauses.

MIDI

The LC2412 can be controlled via MIDI. Two EUROLIGHT

LC2412s can be operated as master and slave by using the MIDI

interface. Entire shows can be stored and recalled by means of

a MIDI sequencer.
DMX512

The DMX digital protocol lets you flexibly assign 78 of the 512

digital channels to individual light console channels (softpatch).
Memory card

The EUROLIGHT LC2412 offers you access to 120 storable

lighting setups (memories) that can easily be altered. A virtually

unlimited archive of lighting setups can be created by using the

interchangeable memory cards on which these setups are stored.

The sky is the limit when you put your creativity to the test with

the 99 programmable chases, each consisting of 99 single steps.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

The control panel of your LC2412 is divided into various areas

with different functions. The way the controls on the LC2412

were designed makes using the unit and capturing current

settings a breeze. The control elements are described on the

following pages according to the functions they play. If parts of

the unit are shown in light grey in an illustration, that means that

these controls belong to another section (described elsewhere

in the manual).

All control elements and function keys are provided with control

lights to enable you full oversight of the setup/functions currently

selected.

The sections:

A PRESET section,

B MEMORY-

section + bank display,

sound to light,

FLASH keys,

programming section,

MAIN section,

CHASE

section.

The LC2412 also has additional functions that cannot be

assigned to a particular section (special channels):

SPECIAL 1 key. Used to activate a special channel, for

example for turning a fog machine on/off.
SPECIAL 2 key. The same function as SPECIAL 1 key. Just

like in the case of other channels, three DMX channels can

be assigned to these two channels (i.e. to SPECIAL 1/2).

Both special channels are then labeled as channels 25 and

26 on the console. SPECIAL 1 and SPECIAL 2 keys can be

programmed as switches, keys or kill keys. Additional

information on this subject can be found in chapter 7.3.
POWER switch. Used to power up the EUROLIGHT LC2412.

The POWER switch should always be in the Off position

when you connect the unit to the mains.

Please take note: Merely switching the unit off does

not mean that it is fully disconnected from the

mains. When not using the unit for prolonged

periods of time, please unplug the units power

cord from the power outlet.

The BNC connector is used for connecting a gooseneck

lamp (optional).
