This latest addition to the Maxxyz range features four modules requiring only USB and power connections. The modules - Cerebrum, Programmer, Motorized Playback and Master - make the system's functionality more flexible and intuitive.
The Cerebrum module is a powerful touch-screen computer, running the software on Windows XP Embedded that controls Maxxyz Compact. It can control up to 32 DMX Universes. The Maxxyz Cerebrum can also be used stand-alone for controlling installations, for example in hotels or on cruise ships. The Programmer and Playback Modules make creating and running shows easier, quicker and safer. The Master Module has two faders - Grand Master and Flash Master by default.
The modular concept allows for reconfiguration and/or future expansion by adding hardware when needed, allowing for customisation and saving money. It also makes service easier. Maxxyz Compact allows for multiple wing attachments and includes a convenient storage compartment.
The user-friendly console comes with an embedded touch screen with the option of connecting an additional external screen for even greater flexibility. The Compact has also been outfitted with new LED strip illumination.
A powerful effects engine, Maxxyz Compact can control up to 16,384 fixtures, and allows up to 1000 cuelists with motorised fader control and 1000 cuelists using playback control buttons, with parallel execution of multiple cuelists.
