Xciter allows easy programming, playback and live manipulation of lighting providing instant pitch adjustment, freeze, flash, blackout, master fader and more. Ideal for clubs, small touring and performance applications or even larger mobile DJs, there is also, a complete training DVD available which covers all of Xciter's features.
Features include six general faders and two masters, six flash and four customizable buttons to trigger lighting and effects. Xciter can now control up to 40 fixtures, each with up to 48 channels with a maximum of 512 channels.
The effects generator allows users to apply effects, such as fanning, to all channels, faders, fixtures or groups of fixtures. Functions such as strobe, smoke and mirror ball activation can be allocated to each of four programmable buttons for simplified effects juggling. The Xciter includes factory-programmed effects and presets that can quickly be assigned to a fixture or range of fixtures. Users can also create macro presets themselves to recall complex effect generator settings.
Users can combine any patch with any show, auto patching multiple fixtures and dimmers has been simplified by selecting the start address and allowing Xciter do the rest. Effects, scenes or dimmers can be assigned to any of six faders and flash buttons and users can access them live during playback.
Playback sequences can be altered during playback, and cue transparency is more flexible and customizable, playback values can be added to an existing look. Users can connect a PC directly to Xciter via the USB connection to update fixture libraries, back up, edit, export and import shows. A jog wheel delivers scrolling function through fader pages, and a joystick simplifies the manual pan and tilt control.
