FocusHAND 3 

 
System description 
 
focusHAND 3 is a wireless remote control unit with a DMX output, to be used for controlling lighting 
fixtures while focussing them. 
This means that the ‘normal’ operation with one person behind the lighting desk, an intercom and one 
person at the rig is replaced by one person at the lamp position only. 
 
The handheld unit uses a small number of easy to operate keys for ‘dialing in’ the number of the 
dimmer channel, the level etc. These commands are sent via an UHF radio link to the receiver unit, 
which translates them into the proper DMX values. 
 
The receiver unit has to be connected between the lighting consoles DMX output and the dimmers 
DMX input, where it will take over the control of the DMX line. This can be activated with the remote 
unit, so the receiver can be permanently connected. 
 
Not only one spot at a time can be controlled, but also groups and level can be adjusted from off to 
100%. Even groups and memories can be stores and recalled. 
 
This means focusHAND 3 is a versatile controller for the lighting operator to perform his job quick and 
easy, without being tied to wires. 
 
 
 
 

This product may only be used for controlling 
dimmers and moving lights. Using the product 
out of these specifications will remove all 
responsibility from the supplier
