ShowTime
Pro Commercial Light Controllers
 Think
of a Light-O-Rama light controller as a device that can make lights do
amazing tricks. Look how easily that switch on the wall turns on or
off the light in the room you're in. The switch controls one
electrical circuit. Replace the switch with a dimmer and suddenly the
light can be set to almost any brightness. Multiply that dimmer
circuit by eight or 16 and imagine the lighting possibilities. Now put
all those dimmers in a box and add a little computer to control each circuit
independently. Suddenly each light circuit can blink, twinkle, ramp up
or down or take on just about any effect you want. Go to the next
level and start linking controllers together in a Light-O-Rama data network
and imagine the possibilities of everything being synchronized. When
you're ready to do really dazzle your audience, add music and your lights
will dance creating an unforgettable show. As we're fond of saying at
Light-O-Rama, Imagine it, then do it.
 We're all about creating dynamic shows by mixing lights, music and motion
via electrical control of almost anything and everything. Our ShowTime
Pro series of professional grade light
controllers are exactly what you're looking for.
Worried about electrical capacity? Each ShowTime Pro lighting channel
circuit can handle eight amps of AC power. The entire controller can
switch a maximum of 15 to 30 amps depending on the configuration.
ShowTime Pro units plug directly into standard wall outlets and we recommend
these be dedicated power circuits for large applications. Our 30 amp
units require two independent 15 amp power feeds.
Each ShowTime Pro controller can function independently, operate as the
director unit in a multi-controller network or as an add-on unit of a larger
synchronized network of controllers. Each of the 8-16 independent channels
have a number of special effects such as dimming, ramping, twinkle and
shimmer.
Commercial environments require electrical inspections and many of our ShowTime Pro
series controllers are manufactured and shipped with the
UL508
certification. Rest assured these controllers have passed rigorous
safety tests.
Already have a communications infrastructure using DMX-512 typically used in
the entertainment industry? We've got
you covered. ShowTime Pro light controllers are smart enough to
analyze the type of data network they are connected to and adapt to DMX-512 if
needed. Depending on the unique network assigned to your ShowTime Pro
light controller, it will occupy that DMX-512 address plus the next 15 (for
a 16 channel controller.) The 16 channels must be in the same DMX-512
universe.
Multiple ShowTime Pro controllers can be connected to the same Light-O-Rama
data network. See some examples of
a typical network layout. Each controller typically has a unique location
code so it knows when to respond to commands. More than 200 16 channel
controllers can function on one giant Light-O-Rama data network giving you the
ability to independently control 3,200 lighting channels. If you need
more, give us a call.
Each ShowTime Pro controller is encased in a metal enclosure designed for
for durability and when mounted correctly, will provide a weatherproof
environment to keep the control circuitry functioning in almost any typical
outdoor environment. We've heard rumors these things have survived
run-ins with four wheeled drive vehicles and the only damage was suffered by
the vehicle. We do suggest common sense usage and keeping the cable
access holes pointing down so the entire enclosure can shed the rain. The pigtail outlets must be at
least one foot off the ground. Keep the unit away from heavy splashing water
and forced water flows such as from irrigation sprinklers. Want to
learn more? Read our datasheet or
user manual.
If you simply want to flash your light circuits in a repeating sequence,
ShowTime Pro light controllers have extra memory to store this information.
By using our ShowTime Software Suite, you can download the sequence to a
master controller and it will handle performing the sequence on its own
circuits plus any other controllers you might have connected to it.
Please note this does not work for sequencing your light circuits to music.
What else can you do with ShowTime Pro controllers? By attaching
one of our ShowTime Directors to the Light-O-Rama data network, you can have
a stand-alone system of synchronized lights and music without the need of a
PC.

User's Guide.
