The combination of the DMXCreator software and the three DMX512-interfaces results in one of the most powerful PC lighting controller on the market, say VXCO. Running on Wiondows, the DMXCreator software is packed with features usually reserved for large and expensive lighting consoles. Features include 3D Visual Emulator, Effects Generator, Track-effects Editor, 16 multi sequences, MIDI control, Position-Memory, scene crossfade control, DMX512 input recording, physical master. Each DMX controllable device has its own customized control panel including active elements like pan/tilt field, faders, CMY colour mixing and gobo pictures. Due to the graphic user interface and easy drag-and-drop functions, the user is able to create very complex shows in a short time. The newly embedded '3D Visual Emulator' simulates the movements of the light beams on a virtual stage without any fixtures physically connected.
There are three different hardware DMX512 interfaces available: DMXCreator 512Basic (nominated for PLASA Award for Product Excellence): perhaps the world's smallest USB to DMX-interface - all necessary electronics are directly built into the XLR connector's housing. Provides control of up to 512 DMX channels.
DMXCreator 512MK2: provides 512 output channels and 512 input channels for DMX512. The connection to the PC is made through the LPT (bidirectional printer) port.
DMXCreator 1024 - provides 1024 output channels and 512 input channels for DMX512.The data and power connection to the PC is made trough the fast USB port.
VXCO can be found on stand P82.
