Feature packed memory consoles with control of 200 dimmer channels and up to 30 moving lights

The Jester TL consoles are the latest members of the Jester range, offering control of 200 dimmer channels from a numeric keypad using industry standard command syntax. Up to 30 fixtures can be controlled using fixture select buttons and three control wheels.

Playback on the Jester TL consoles is via a traditional theatre playback stack or submaster control.

On the Jester TL submaster control is achieved using multi-function-buttons (an external DMX desk can be connected as a fader bank). Up to 24 submasters can be controlled using multi-function-buttons, or by using a DMX desk connected to the DMX Input as a ‘wing’.

The Jester TLXtra negates the need for an external ‘wing’ by providing 10 integrated submaster faders (20 pages of 10).

In common with the rest of the Jester range, a monitor port is standard on the Jester TL consoles. Channel, fixture, cuestack and submaster data can all be viewed using the monitor. Onboard LCD screens also provide the user with all information needed to operate the console allowing them to be used without a monitor. (It is recommended that for ease of use the monitor is always used.)

A USB port allows users to back-up shows that have been recorded on the Jester TLs. A USB keyboard can also be connected for fast entry of names and numbers. Show files are compatible with the Jester ML desks.

A DMX-in port allows the Jester TL consoles to be used as a back-up console for other desks. It is possible to snap shot a full 512 channels of DMX into submasters or the memory stack. MIDI notes can be used to trigger channels or submasters. A sound to light jack allows for chases to be sequenced to music. A remote input jack allows any button on the front panel to be pressed from a remote control. Chases can be recorded into the memory stack or directly into submasters.

Channel selection groups and fixture palettes allow quick selection of common channel sets and fixture looks. Macros allow frequently used sequences of key presses to be recorded and replayed. A built-in effects engine allows quick generation of movement effects for fixtures.

The Jester TL consoles have three modes, allowing them to operate in preset, program or playback mode.
