Showtec SM-16/2 FX DMX Lighting Controller

Showtec SM-16/2 FX DMX Lighting Controller

512 DMX channels provide control of up to 16 fixtures with as many as 32 channels each.

Individual fixture channels can be patched to the console controls. Two rotary wheels adjust pan and tilt, while dedicated faders operate scenes, chases and intensity.

The built-in shape engine creates movement, dimmer, RGB and colour effects. A scene can contain up to two shapes, with up to 10 shapes running simultaneously. Up to 16 playbacks can operate at the same time.

The console stores 80 scenes and 80 chases across five banks. Each chase supports up to 100 steps. HTP and LTP scene timing supports transitions, and programs can run automatically or be operated from the console surface.

Main Features

• Patchable channels adapt the control surface to different fixture channel layouts.
• The shape engine creates movement and colour changes without recording every position individually.
• 16 playback faders provide simultaneous access to several prepared scenes or chases.
• 80 scene and 80 chase memories store prepared lighting looks.
