Model 510i (Show Controller)
This is a rack-mounted lighting controller designed primarily to serve
the lighting requirements of the themed environment market and to
operate over a network as a backup unit to a main console. This
controller runs the same operating and application software as the
other consoles, however the user interface is completely different
(refer to 510i/310 Show Controller/Backup Unit). The 510i is only
available with the latest Pentium Processor.
Features Available with 500 Series New Electronic Sub-
System
All 500 series consoles are now fitted with the latest Pentium
Processor and a new-style electronic sub-system enabling additional
features that were not possible with previous, slower processors.
You can check if your console is fitted with the new electronics by
checking the position of the Ethernet Port on the rear of the console,
which, on consoles fitted with new electronics is fitted on the same
panel as the DMX AUX ports, rather than being an optional
expansion card (although a second network card can be fitted in
addition to the built-in port). The new electronics provide the
following additional facilities:
● Built-in Ethernet Ports (no built-in ports on old electronics)
● Handheld remotes can be connected to any AUX port (AUX 3
only for old electronics)
● All 4 DMX ports are supported. DMX 4 is of opposite gender
to the others for use as a DMX input, although it can be set as
a fourth output (DMX 3 is available as an input with old
electronics).
● New SMPTE input port, accessible via the Audio connector.
520 Series Differences
Apart from the number of submaster faders, the 520 and 520i have a
number of mechanical differences from the other consoles as
follows:
● 520 and 520i does not have an On/Off button and Stop button
at the top of the console. An On/Off switch is fitted at the rear
of the console.
● 520 and 520i does not have Grandmaster faders. You can
assign submasters as Grandmasters faders
● 520 and 520i does not have a separate Rate Wheel (the
Level Wheel doubles as a Rate Wheel)
● 520 and 520i does not have a centre LCD
● 520 and 520i has only four centre softkeys
● 520 and 520i has 14 direct macro keys rather than 7.
