Introduction
Stage 12/24 lighting control consoles are primarily designed to provide
the user with an economically priced unit of compact size offering
features and capabilities not available in similar units. These consoles are
also engineered to provide the user with the ability to expand the scope of
a lighting control system without the console becoming obsolete. This
important quality was provided by incorporating within Stage 12/24 units
DMX-512 digital outputs and other facilities usually only found in more
elaborate consoles.
The use of the USITT (1990) DMX-512 protocol, the communication
standard supported by all leading manufacturers of lighting equipment,
enables consoles and dimming systems to be linked together by means of
a common data path. This compatibility ensures that a lighting system
can be expanded without making the system infrastructure redundant.

- Channel Flash buttons to add or solo channel outputs regardless of the
current setting of the channel level fader.
- Add/Solo Master fader controlling the overall level of flash buttons.
- Add/Solo selector to determine the function of the flash buttons.
- Preset master faders providing control over each bank of Presets.
- Two independent Grab faders used to store scenes. These Grab faders
may also be considered as 3rd and 4th Presets.
- Master Flash buttons provided on Presets 1 and 2, Master faders, Chase
level master and Grab 1 and 2 faders.
- Chaser controls including Go/Cue, Speed, Direction and Level all of
which have the ability to chase through all or selected
channels in ascending or descending order.
- Audio trigger enabling the chase sequence to follow audio signal
- 60 mm Presets arranged in 2 Preset format providing individual control
over channel levels.
- Wide Mode operation doubles the number of available control channels
which enables the Stage 12 console to operate as a single preset 24
Channel Console (48 single presets in the case of the Stage 24).
- DMX-512 output conforming with USITT DMX-512 (1990) Protocol
(AXR Output connector 5 pin Alcatel/Cannon).
- Stage 12/24 consoles may be used as slave consoles for the Jands
Event and ESP II consoles.
- Power input 12 V DC by means of a supplied plug-pak (Connector:
2.5mm co-axial).

Getting Started
Connecting Power
Plug the socket end of the plugpack output into the power receptacle
located on the rear face of the Stage 12/24 console. The plugpack
should be plugged into a mains outlet, and then the outlet switched on.
Please note that when power is removed from the console, all settings
are lost.
Connecting the Output of a Console to a Dimmer Rack
The DMX-512 control protocol output is standard on all Stage 12/24
consoles. Connect from the console's DMX output to the DMX input on
the dimmer rack, then check the dimmer instruction manual for details
on selecting DMX channels and looping the DMX line to other dimmer
racks.
Connecting the Audio Trigger Input
The Audio Trigger input is used to step the chase. Use a stereo plug
with balanced signals or a mono plug with unbalanced signals.
Input connector: 6.5mm jack; line level; 100 Hz trigger frequency

CGrab Controls are used to store and playback two (2) independant
"snapshots" of the Stage 12/24 output.
DChase Controls. There are five (5) controls in the Chase section:-
- Level fader
- Go/Cue button used to activate the chase output
- Rate control fader
- Fwd/Rev direction button
- Assign button used in conjunction with the channel flash buttons to
select which channels will be included in the chase sequence
EP1 and P2 Masters. These two faders scale the level of the top (P1) and
bottom (P2) preset banks.
FFlash Master Controls. The Flash Master fader is used to set the level
of the flash buttons. The Add /Solo switch to the left of this fader sets
the method of operation for the flash buttons.
GPower Input consists of a 2.5 mm plugpack power receptacle for
connection to a suitably rated plugpack. See the appendix for plugpack
details.
General Description of Major Parts
The front panel of the Stage 12/24 lighting control console is divided into
two main areas. The left section consists of the Preset Faders (A), and Flash
Buttons (B), which are used for both direct control and chase assigning. The
right section consists of all mastering controls including the Grab Controls
(C), Chase Controls (D), Preset masters 1and 2 (E), and Flash controls (F).
The rear panel of the Stage 12/24 houses all the input and output
connections for power, control signals, and the configuration DIP switch.
APreset Faders are used to set up channel levels. The two Preset banks
are used to allow the operator to set up the next scene on one Preset
bank while the output from the other Preset bank is sent live to the stage.
BFlash Buttons (Channel) are used to momentarily flash on a channel to
the level of the Add/Solo Master. There is a flash button for each chan-
nel when the desk is operating in the normal 2 preset mode. If the con-
sole is set to Wide mode, only the first 12 channels have flash buttons
(24 channels in the case of the Stage 24).

HDMX Output. Control output for connection to a dimmer system or
other interfaces using the DMX-512 protocol.
IDIP Switch allows the user to customise the operation of the console.
This is described in further detail on pages 10 and 11.
JAudio Input allows the operator to automatically step the chaser in time
with the audio programme. Plugging a 6.5mm (1/4") plug into this
receptacle automatically forces the chaser to step in accordance with low
frequency peaks in the audio trigger signal.
Input connector: 6.5mm jack; line level; 100 Hz trigger frequency

Using Presets
Channel Preset Faders
There are two (2) rows of preset faders on the Stage 12/24. The top row of
faders is Preset 1 and the bottom row is Preset 2. These faders are used to
set lights to desired levels. The output level produced by the Preset faders is
dependent on the level of the P1 (or P2) Master fader.
Example:-
- Bring the P1 Master faders to 10 (100%).
- Move the Channel 1 Preset fader to 100% and you should see the lights
connected to that channel fade up to full level.
- Now fade up Channel 2 to 5 (50%) and check that the lights connected
to Channel 2 are at about 1/2 level.
- Finally fade the P1 Master down and Up to see how it scales the
Channel Preset faders.
Doubling Number of Channels
Using all Preset faders as a single preset to obtain double the number of
channels. (See Page 11) To double number of channels by using the console
in a single preset bank mode
Channel Flash Buttons
These buttons correspond to the Channel faders and perform two functions:
1Flash. The buttons are used to momentarily flash on a channel. The type
of operation (add, solo) of the flash button depends on the setting of the
Add / Solo master switch. See page 8.
2Chase Assign. Pressing the Asn button puts the Stage 12/24 into chase
assign mode, indicated by the LED in the Asn button being on. See Page
9.
