Four-Play DMX512 & Art-Net recorder |
Four-Play is the ultimate DMX512 and Art-Net record replay product. Four-Play allows the Lighting Designer to use their console of choice for show programming. Once complete, the entire show is recorded to Four-Play allowing the console to return to hire stock!
Four-Play provides four DMX512 inputs, four DMX512 outputs and an ArtNet Ethernet interface. Recording and playback can be set to operate on any combination of these. Four-Play also provides automatic data timing correction for all four DMX512 inputs.
It operates in one of three modes:
- Canned show control: In many applications, such as museum and exhibition displays, the lighting console is only needed for show programming. The completed show is then recorded by Four-Play and played back by either remote trigger or time of day cues.
- Time code tracking: The completed show is recorded to Four-Play as described above. Each show recorded to Four-Play is assigned a time code start time. To playback, simply connect the MIDI time code cable. Four-Play then selects the file which matches the current time and plays it. Whatever the time code does, Four-Play will stay locked. This means that in rehearsals you can pause, jump forward or even rewind the show.
- Ethernet Node: Four-Play can be configured to simply translate ArtNet Ethernet to DMX512. This is particularly useful to customers purchasing for hire stock as the product can be used for both real time playback and DMX512 conversion.
The front panel provides an LCD and keypad user interface. Sophisticated remote control and playback timing options are simply selected from the front panel. An optional VGA monitor output is also available. Four-Play is presented in a 2U rack-mount case and is the very latest addition to the Rack Mount Solutions range.
