...shows. The system can be composed from individual hardware components, to match the customer's exact requirements.

Avolites Sales Director, Steve Warren “Our virtual D4 Console, the “D4 Desktop has been designed to address two clear needs – The first being a fully functional and stand alone “Back-up system for large Diamond 4 shows and also for smaller or “Hands Free productions where access to the comprehensive control surface of the D4 Consoles is not required.

At the heart of the D4 Desktop system is a PC, running MS Windows XP with available USB ports.

In its most basic form, the “D4 Desktop consists of the PC and an Avolites “EZ – DMX interface which plugs into a USB port providing 8 DMX universes and a MIDI in/thru/out connection for timecode, etc. The D4 software connects to the “EZ DMX unit via a dongle.
This basic system can run an existing D4 show, or be used to program a new show. Running identical software to the real console, every function is available on the virtual version.

Optional to the system, is a D4 Desktop controller named the “D4 Pilot consisting of 8 motorised, moving faders and associated buttons that can connect to any bank of faders and become any playback on the desk. Additionally a separate 'GO' and 'Pause' button are fitted to allow the running of Cue Lists.

The second optional component is an Avolites Graphics tablet which exactly mimics the D4 Programmer controls, greatly enhancing the speed of plotting and further increasing the attraction of the offline system. This enables the programming of larger shows with the addition only of the low-cost Tablet. The D4 Desktop Pilot and Avolites Graphic Tablet can be used together or separately as required.

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.
