Stage and Auditorium Lighting Control Systems, Stage Lights

SETTING SCENES ON STAGE AND AUDITORIUM

Different colors, brightness or darkness have an effect on our well-being. They convey feelings such as joy, deep emotion, lightness or freedom. Performances in classic cultural areas such as theater, opera and ballet and, to an increasing extent, shows and events in hotels and other event facilities are influenced decisively by the technical light accents as well as the stage adaptation and stage settings. Light supports and accentuates the performance. Optimum use of lights and spots in combination with professional light control systems allow finely matched light scenes as well as light effects which underscore the dynamics of the performance. Sensitive light choreography supports advanced lighting technology, captivates the attention of the audience and heightens the intensity of the performance. The measuring rod for successful light design is not the number of lights but rather the manner in which they are used and how the illumination sequence is organized. Various color layouts (colored light, different light tones), differentiated dimming positions and correct positioning of the lights in the room are important constituents of successful light planning. The use of lights with different optical effects (with more or less sharp contours, closely bundled, scalable or dispersed, with hard core or focused light) are absolutely necessary to handle the many different technical lighting requirements. ALTENBURGER ELECTRONIC offers a complete range for light control with the THYRODYN product line for stages with up to 48 light circuits with integrated auditorium light controls.

THE THYRODYN CONCEPT

Control of stage and auditorium lighting is accomplished using a closed control concept which also includes color changes, curtains, switching operations and other functional sequences. The easy-to-use, programmable stage lighting controls with DMX 512 interface can be combined with the customer's auxiliary control components in a variety of forms whereby conventional controls, European Installation Bus (EIB) Systems or touch panels can be integrated.

THYRODYN Controls for Stage and Auditorium Areas Control panel for general functions such as control for auditorium areas.

Control panel for stage area

THYRODYN stage lighting controls from ALTENBURGER ELECTRONIC are exceptionally versatile in terms of design, operating convenience and application. The use of various keypads, single keys or switches, EIB control panels, touch panels or installation of controls provided by the customer presents no problems. The systems are available for stationary or mobile use.

Programmable Control Panel for Auditorium Area Selection of 12 light scenes and pushbuttons "BRIGHTER/DARKER". In addition "On/Off" key, programming key as well as locking switch for limiting access to controls.

VERSIONS

Stage lighting control unit and separate keypad for variable or stationary operations. Keypad can also be used without stage light control. Stage lighting control unit with keypad at rear. Stage lighting control unit with integrated keypad on left or right side. Stage lighting control unit model SB with individual controls, group controls, if required with fader/mixer controls in conventional design with controls provided by customers. Operation of this version is extremely simple: It is particularly suitable for all situations where the operating personnel change frequently such as in schools and for amateurs performances. Mobile cart with storage compartment. Dimensions according to customer's requirements.

PROGRAMMABLE LIGHT CONTROLS THYRODYN PL 12 / PL 24

The PL 12 and PL 24 programmable controls offer entry into the professional sector in terms of handling and function. Nevertheless, the features are simple and logical. In comparison to conventionally designed controls, they offer significantly more features. Control and output stages are spatially separated so that the output module with uniform design can control spotlights with power ratings of up to 8 kW/circuit with phase control or up to 2 kW/circuit with phase cutoff.

The PL 12 and PL 24 programmable controls offer the following features: The basic features with familiar operating functions include 2 preset registers, lightening keys for each circuit as well as fader/mixers are available immediately after switching on the unit. Capability of setting 12 or 24 mood registers on 4 pages (all totaled 48 or 96). The stored moods can be called up, modified and copied at any time. Moods can be selected with the lower circuit controls. A number of light moods can be mixed even when stored on different pages. Individual circuit values and moods can be transferred to the sequence memory. The sequence of the light moods can be assigned specific times. The sequence can be called with the GO key. It is possible to fade from any mood to another during the sequence (manual selection). Seven memory registers are available for programming running lights. Every step in the running light can correspond to the setting of one single circuit or a number of circuits or even entire moods. The speed of the running light can be controlled by an internal clock frequency generator, the speed can be varied. The PL 12 and PL 24 stage light controls are equipped with a DMX 512 output and a MICROPLEX output as standard features. Operation of all types of connections is possible simultaneously. For the DMX mode, the start address for the equipment to be controlled can be between 1 and 96 for the PL 12 and 24 control panel. External power pack for power supply.

Thyrodyn: PL 1624 / PL 1636 / PL 1648

This family of programmable control panels is intended for professional use. They are suitable for control of 24, 36 or 48 circuits and can be expanded to 48, 72 or 96 circuits using crossbars. All functions for storage, running light or sequences are possible simply and clearly with a minimum of keys.

Here as well, control stages and output stages are spatially separated from one another completely so that the output module with uniform design can control spotlights with power ratings of up to 8 kW with the phase control mode or up to 2 kW with the phase-interval control mode (for low-voltage halogen lamps with electronic transformers).

The PL 1624, PL 1636 and PL 1648 offer the following features: The basic features with familiar operating functions include 2 preset registers, lightening keys for each circuit as well as fader/mixers are available immediately after switching on the unit. Capability of setting 24, 36 or 48 mood registers on 12 pages (all totaled 288, 432 or 576). The stored moods can be called up, modified and copied at any time. Moods can be selected with the lower circuit controls. A number of light moods can be mixed even when stored on different pages. Individual circuit values and moods can be transferred to the sequence memory. The sequence of the light moods can be assigned to specific times. The sequence can be called with the GO key. It is possible to fade from any mood to another during the sequence (manual selection). Eleven memory registers are available for programming running lights. Every step in the running light can correspond to the setting of one single circuit or a number of circuits or even entire moods. The speed of the running light can be controlled by an internal clock frequency generator, the speed can be varied. The PL 1624, PL 1636 and PL 1648 stage light controls are equipped with a DMX 512 output and a MIDI output as standard features. Operation of all types of connections is possible simultaneously. For the DMX mode, the start address for the equipment to be controlled can be between 1 and 512. The PLUS version also has a built-in 3.5" disk drive as well as VGA monitor port. External power pack for power supply.
