CONTROLLERS

The feature rich lighting controller has been designed to provide a control solution for the most demanding of projects, while still maintaining an easy to use panel of touch sensitive

buttons. The controller integrates a graphical color screen allowing scene photos to be displayed. Easily view the selected zone, scene name and design without the need to

navigate through complex menus. Change the speed, color and dimmer using the circular palette. The lighting levels, color and effects can be programmed from a PC, Mac,

Android, iPad or iPhone using the included software.

The Pharos Controls system is a modular, DMX setup that can be networked for ease of access. All components can be powered via POE using a Pharos supplied POE switch. The

LPC comes in a variety of universe sizes to fit any project. Pharos also provides optional remote devices to control the system from various access points. If the LPC is networked the

controller can be accessed from anywhere in the world. More information can be found here: www.pharoslighting.com

PROGRAMMING

The RDM Tool is a powerful DMX/RDM measurement and test tool. It allows for RDM addressing and monitoring of Insight Lighting (and 3rd party) products that have RDM

capability while also being able to test all elements of the DMX data signal to ensure proper system operation. It includes a 9V battery for portable operation, micro-usb option,

and hardwire cable adapter for non-XLR applications.
