Pearl Expert is powered by the new Intel Core Duo Processor giving an exceptionally high speed button response which is particularly useful for 'take over', and busking with timed palettes. An additional five sub master playbacks make a total of 20 ensuring every type of show, and user, has all the playbacks they need, instantly accessible.
New Add and Swop buttons for the top row of faders allow easy placement of fixtures and dimmers, on all 60 preset faders.
The new 'Colour Picker' a feature from the Diamond 4 console, gives instant rapid and intuitive control of CMY and colour mix devices. This is the first of many D4 features for future software releases in Pearl Expert.
A new 'Split Roller' separates the 20 sub masters into two banks of 10 allowing live mix and match of memories.
The internal hard disk offers virtually unlimited internal storage of shows. USB Memory storage together with a CD/DVD re writer (and a floppy disk drive) gives show portability and long term backup. Pearl Expert includes the industry standard Ethernet protocols.
Along with Pearl Expert, the Pearl 2004 has been upgraded and is now known as the Pearl 2008 which includes USB memory storage and a USB connection to an external PC giving a wealth of new features.
Shows created using Pearl 2004, 2008 or Expert software are interchangeable and compatible.
