Intuitive operation is the core of the dot2 philosophy and with a comprehensive set of connectivity hardware on all console models, the dot2 range is suitable for most theatre, touring, corporate, television and education lighting environments. The easy to operate dot2 software is available in multiple languages and provides on-board Help and Direct Hints to guide a new user to operate the console to its full potential. A full range of clever programming and playback features provide intuitive access to advanced functionality.
With 5 customisable layout views the user is now able to create a visual representation of the fixture arrangement on stage. The multi-patch fixture functionality works for the DMX patch inside the console as well as the representation of fixtures in the dot2 3D.
The improved executor operation allows much easier content sharing between the main and the other executors as well as all executors have additional "swop" and "temp fader" functionality. All DMX ports on all devices can be assigned to any of the DMX universes patched inside the console and the Auto Backup functionality allows the user to set a timer to automatically Backup operation of the showfile.
At this year's Prolight+Sound Frankfurt exhibition, MA Lighting dedicates a whole booth to its dot2 lighting control solution and will features the new software release version 1.2. MA's product specialist will be available to answer questions or guide you through the latest feature set.
