5th Mar 2004 - Zero 88 to launch latest moving light console at SIB, Rimini.

Zero 88 will be launching their latest lighting console, the Diablo, at the forthcoming SIB show in Rimini.

The Diablo is a new, cost effective and flexible lighting controller suitable for controlling moving lights and generics. It is one of the easiest lighting controllers to program and operate and is aimed at users wanting a small, powerful console. Unlike many small controllers it is not simply for club or DJ use. The Diablo can be used in a range of venues from small theatres, to schools, TV or clubs.

“During the ongoing development of the Frog range we had lots of feedback from users wanting the intuitive philosophy and ease of use of the Frogs, but in a simpler and smaller package,” explains Graham Eales. “ The Diablo is a powerful little desk, which will bring sophisticated moving light control to a host of smaller venues.”

An LCD screen is at the heart of the Diablo. Using soft keys navigating the various operating modes is simple and intuitive, whether you are setting the desk up, assigning fixtures, patching or playing back shows.

To aid in programming the Diablo comes with an effects engine that allows for shape generation and colour and beam effects. The Diablo provides the facility to control up to 18 moving lights as well as 18 generic channels.

The Diablo has a comprehensive library of fixture personalities that can be loaded to the console from a PC using a a USB port. It is also possible to write fixture types directly to the console. Up to 18 different fixture personalities can be stored on the Diablo at any one time. Regular updates to this library will be downloadable from the Zero 88 website.

· Built in Effects Engine
