You CAN Take It With You! Revolutionary Recordable Mini DMX Controllers From American DJ Allow Users To Reproduce and Transport Lighting Programs
LOS ANGELES -- Now you can take your favorite DMX lighting programs with you wherever you go, thanks to the revolutionary recordable/re-recordable DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX controllers from American DJ. The DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX are mini DMX recorder-controllers that are capable of recording lighting programs directly from other DMX controllers, such as American DJ's DMX Operator or Show Designer. Once recorded and stored, the programs can be transported to any gig or stage production and used to run a variety of DMX fixtures.
Lightweight and easy to use, the DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX are great for mobile applications when a larger controller would be too bulky. All the user has to do is download his or her favorite scenes from any DMX controller into one of these convenient mini recorders via XLR cable. Once the scenes have been recorded, the segments can be combined to create chase and strobe programs. New programs, created with a Show Designer or other DMX controller, can be re-recorded into the DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX at any time.
"The DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX are ideal for DJs and stage show producers to use as portable units, when they dont want to carry around their main controller, but want to have their favorite lighting programs right at their fingertips," said Scott Davies, general manager of American DJ. "Users can easily transfer their DMX programs into these handy, recordable units, much like saving a computer file to disk"
What's more, the user can easily change the programs stored inside the DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX when a different light show is called for. "If a DJ will be appearing at several different clubs throughout the week and they want to change their lighting presentation at each, they can simply re-record new programs," Davies explained.
The DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX are available as "blank" units, ready for recording. Or they can be purchased with pre-recorded programs for several popular American DJ DMX lighting fixtures. Here's a closer look at these two breakthrough products:
DMX-Solo: The DMX-Solo is a handheld pocket-sized 96-channel mini DMX recorder that can store up to 9 chase programs and 9 strobe programs. Each chase/strobe program can record a maximum of 48 scenes. The DMX Solo is also equipped with an AP chase program, which continuously plays all stored chase scenes, as well as an AS program that plays all strobe scenes. Each AP and AS scene can be run at its own individual speed or fade time.
Designed to offer versatility, the DMX-Solo provides the options of auto, audio or manual chase. It comes equipped with a built-in microphone for sound activation. Other features include DMX polarity select and power failure memory.
The DMX-Solo can access lighting scenes from any DMX controller. Additionally, all data can be swapped between two or more units. In addition to being offered as a blank recorder, the DMX-Solo is available in four pre-set models for the following American DJ fixtures: DMX-Solo/Pocket (pre-set for the Pocket Scan); DMX-Solo/Rainbow (Rainbow-250); DMX-Solo/Spiral (Spiral Scan); DMX-Solo/X-caliber (X-caliber).
Along with its compact size, the DMX-Solo is also very lightweight in price. At just $149.95 suggested retail, it is an extremely affordable DMX controller on its own, or as a back-up "second" controller.
Auto-Mate/DMX:The Auto-Mate/DMX is a larger size (but still very portable) 19" rack mount DMX recorder-controller with similar features as the DMX-Solo. It includes four built-in programs -- Audio Mode, Strobe Mode, Fast Mode, Slow Mode -- plus Blackout.
Like the DMX-Solo, the Auto-Mate/DMX is available as a blank recorder, and in four pre-set models with built-in programs for American DJ fixtures: Auto-Mate/Pocket (Pocket Scan); Auto-Mate /Mighty (Mighty Scan); Auto-Mate /Spiral (Spiral Scan); Auto-Mate /X-caliber (X-caliber). The Auto-Mate/DMX is also very affordably priced at $149.95 suggested retail.
"With their unique ability to record lighting programs, The DMX-Solo and Auto-Mate/DMX are a revolutionary new idea in DMX controllers," said Davies. "They were developed by American DJ to make life easier for lighting users."
