“The console’s approachable user interfaces allow users to choose the style of control that works best for them,” says Palmer. The ColorSource AV consoles from ETC bring both lighting and some video control to the smaller house of worship. MagicQ comes both as a console and a free software-only solution. The same console software and files can be used on the consoles, or on Windows, Mac or Linux computers.” MagicQ supports 24 universes of DMX 10 playback faders with 200 pages 20 execute buttons 202 virtual playbacks an internal Ethernet switch and has a free visualizer app and media server app.
ChamSys MagicQ’s free visualizer can easily be used to match the lighting installation allowing easy training of new users, even on a volunteer's own computers at home. Phil Watson, head of ChamSys USA, states, “ChamSys MagicQ is straight forward to learn, making it simple for inexperienced users to control complex lighting and visuals in their Church. A console must offer intuitive control that scales from daily or weekly worship services to weddings, special events and large-scale concerts or holiday productions.”Ĭhauvet Lighting has entered the lighting console market through its recent acquisition of the UK console manufacturer ChamSys.
“Houses of worship serve many functions in their communities, and a good console should do the same. Lighting Inc., adds, “A lighting console should be intuitive enough that volunteers with no lighting experience can immediately be creative with their designs-and powerful enough that experienced programmers can quickly implement their designs and get the most out of their lighting system.”įlexibility is also important, stresses Bryan Palmer, architectural market manager for Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC). A lighting console should be easily understood with minimal training, allowing the house of worship user to quickly learn programming techniques.” Fred Mikeska, vice president of U.S.
“For a house of worship user, it’s important to consider the user-interface of the console. “One of my first questions is, who will be programming and operating the console?” states Julie Sanders, sales manager for Leprecon.
