Showtec ColorCue 4 DMX Lighting Controller

Showtec ColorCue 4 DMX Lighting Controller

288 DMX channels control up to 48 LED fixtures with as many as six colour channels per fixture.

48 fixture intensity faders and six colour controls accommodate RGB through RGBWA-UV systems. The button below each fader selects a fixture, colour, scene or chase according to the operating mode.

Double mode controls up to 24 fixtures using separate A and B scenes. Two master faders set their levels and crossfade between them. Single mode uses all 48 fixture faders, but scene transitions do not support A/B crossfading.

The console stores 48 user colours and 48 chases. Each chase supports up to 100 steps, with a total capacity of 1000 chase steps. Programs can be operated directly, automatically or from sound.

Main Features

• 48 individual faders adjust fixture intensity or groups sharing an address.
• Double mode prepares two scenes for up to 24 fixtures and crossfades with the A and B master faders.
• Single mode increases control to 48 fixtures; the B master is inactive in this mode.
• Six colour controls also adjust chase parameters in a separate parameter mode.
• Physical memory buttons recall stored colours, scenes and chases.
• Hold maintains the current scene, while blackout temporarily suppresses lighting output.
• Virtual strobe works even with fixtures lacking a dedicated strobe channel; it is not recorded in scenes or chases.
• MIDI In, Out and Thru integrate the controller into a MIDI-operated system.
• An LCD and LED indicators show the selected mode and output levels.
