Pilot 3000 is a sophisticated DMX controller ideal for controlling large and small lighting systems. Pilot 3000 can control up to 1024 DMX channels via two independent DMX outputs. Using the Pilot 3000 is simplified by the logical layout of its controls and the use of sophisticated facilities, including: Colour TFT touch screen for direct access to the functions displayed; 4 encoder wheels for controlling the parameters of the Palettes during editing, programming or for assigning values in the program's various screens; 1? Jog Ball for Pan/Tilt. The on-board software and comprehensive connectors enable major communication protocols (DMX 512, MIDI, SMPTE) to be handled. Pilot 3000 is connected to PCs via a USB port.

Used Lighting Consoles
Lighting consoles are electronic devices for controlling multiple lights simultaneously from one point. Dimmers for controlling lighting intensity, automated lighting, fog machines and hazers are some of the special effects lighting devices controlled by a lighting board or lighting desk (other terms for lighting consoles).
An electronic control protocol is used by lighting consoles to communicate with other devices in the lighting system. Some of these are DMX512, ACN and DMX-512-A. New protocols are being introduced as more sophisticated lighting systems become available.
In the entertainment industry, where theatrical lighting design is mostly used, lighting consoles are usually found in the control booth, auditorium or the foyer. For this application, the most common protocol is DMX512.
Lighting consoles are available in different sizes and complexities. A preset board, a conventional console for basic lighting systems, is used mostly for small setups. However, DJs may complement it with more advanced hybrid consoles. A moving light controller works with dimmers for controlling ordinary lighting. It also provides additional controls for automated stage lighting (also called intelligent lighting) to produce very complex lighting effects. Other types of lighting consoles include memory consoles, personal-control based controllers, and remote focus unit.
The light board operator (also called the light op or board op) is the person who operates the lighting console. Depending on the scale and type of production, he can be the lighting designer or the stage manager. He or she is responsible for conventional or automated lighting fixtures as well as controlling video.
