Full control – very easy: Eurolite LED Easy Operators

Compact DMX controllers with which you can control a few spotlights or small lighting systems very easily: These are the new LED Easy Operators from Eurolite. Depending on the model, the handy controllers are ideally suited for controlling up to four individual headlights or light sets such as the KLS from Eurolite.

Three different models of the series are currently available: The Easy Operator 4×4 controls headlights with RGB and RGBW equipment, the Easy Operator 4×6 and the Easy Operator Deluxe support up to 6 individual colors. The latter also offers pre-installed running lights and is particularly suitable for light sets such as the KLS from Eurolite.

With the compact controllers, you can individually adjust the color mixing for each connected spot. Pre-installed color mixtures or running lights can also be called up conveniently. Their speed can be adjusted manually or run in music mode. A simple fader or knob controls the speed of the strobe effect.

 

Deluxe: Ideal for KLS

The Easy Operator Deluxe takes it one step further than its colleagues. It can either be used for 4 individual spots or for a light set with 4 spots. For example, many of Eurolite’s popular KLS systems can be controlled with it. In contrast to the two smaller models, users can create their own running lights in addition to the already pre-installed ones here. Each program can be adjusted in speed or run in music mode.

Especially good for beginners

The Easy Operators do not require complicated menu navigation: Each function has its own knob or fader and can therefore be used at any time. The controllers are very clearly arranged and therefore well suited for beginners. Mobile users and small stages also benefit from the easy-to-operate devices in mini format.

 

 

 

The first full-fledged lighting controller in a foot bar

Eurolite presents Bigfoot foot controller

Eurolite Bigfoot

Program a light show and control it with your feet later – that’s possible now with the foot controller Bigfoot by Eurolite. Bigfoot is a full-fledged lighting controller, packed in a foot bar.

Create shows and call them up

While most foot controllers are mainly designed for playing pre-installed effects, Bigfoot goes one step further: It enables you to program creative light shows and to control them by feet. Up to 12 devices with 16 DMX channels each can be operated at the same time – from PAR spots to moving heads.

Color and movement effects

Pre-programmed color and movement effects make programming shows easier. Up to 15 chases with several steps can be saved and combined to a show in live operation mode.

Comfortable use

The Bigfoot is divided into two sections. Above the handle is the programming section with potentiometers and buttons. Below the handle, which also serves as impact protection for the potentiometers, is the live section. It consists of 6 robust foot switches and 2 big pedals. The switches are the same which are used for guitar effects. You control the speed, choose and start a program, use the blackout function or activate the sound control mode with them.

The pedals control the fading time of the scenes as well as the master dimmer function for the brightness. If desired, the latter can also be used for controlling other functions or devices like a fog machine.

The two displays guide through the programming and make use easier by presenting the names of your shows, their speed etc. in live operation mode.

Robust and durable – with case

Made of stable metal, Bigfoot withstands knocks and kicks. Thanks to the big handle, it can also be carried very easily. An optional case protects the controller during transport and provides for a secure position during operation.

DMX – Digital Multiplex

How digital controlling protocol works!

Every retailer is familiar with it, the standardized process to digitally send controlling information to dimmers, „intelligent“ spots or effect devices – DMX: But how exactly does it work and whose idea was it?

Digital data transmission has been around since the 80s. But controlling consolemanufacturers used differing systems, incompatible with each other, so the customer was forced to buy spots and controllers from the same producer. This changed in 1986 when the DMX standard was introduced, based on an initiative of the USITT (United States Institute for Theatre Technology). After some improvements were made and problems were solved, it was realized four years later. The common and still valid name of the standard is DMX-512 (1990). Even though some work has been done on it since then, there’s currently no newer version.
