OPERATION
Once Easy Show is connected to the power, the flash drive is plugged in and you have wired and addressed the
fixtures correctly, you can start controlling your spotlights. After switching on, the display briefly inserts the
firmware version and the device starts with the last setting. This chapter explains the basic functions of the device
for which you do not need the four menu buttons arranged in a circle. To avoid accidentally changing anything,
you should simply not use the buttons.
Color mode
On the left side you will find the STATIC COLORS buttons. If you press one of these buttons, the connected
spotlights light up in the corresponding color. The display shows the color, e.g. "STCL01" for red. If a fixture
cannot display a color, either a similar color is displayed or, for some lighting effects, the split colors that make up
that color are displayed. UV light, the popular black light effect, can only displayed by fixtures equipped UV LEDs.
Color change programs
There are a total of 24 buttons in the center, which you can use to call up various automatic running lights. To start
a program, press the program buttons. The LED of the button flashes and the display shows the program, e.g.
"PART01
►
" for party program 1. Pressing the button again stops the program at the current position and the
button lights up permanently.

Brightness and speed adjustment
Use the 3 faders and function buttons on the right side to set programs and moods. The device saves the settings
for SPEED TIME and FADE for each program button, which means that they will be retained the next time you call
up the programs, even after switching off. To do this, wait 10 seconds after your setting before turning the power
off. Also note that when switching programs, the faders may need to be moved again for them to take effect. The
display shows all settings:
Control element
Function
MASTER DIMMER
Controls the overall brightness with 0-100%.
Note: A few lighting effects do not support this function and the fader does not
work.
FADE/STROBE
This fader has a double function. The further you pull it up, the further you increase
the fade time and thus achieve a fade effect for the color change programs. If the
strobe function is activated with the STROBE button below (button is lit), the fader
controls the flash rate of the spotlights.
Note: Not all spotlights support the fade function. Fading is also not possible with
the FLASH 1-6 programs.
SPEED TIME
Controls the running speed of the programs, i.e. how long a step is displayed,
between 0 and 15 seconds.
TAP
This button also defines the running speed of the programs. Simply press the
button twice and the device adopts the time between the two actuations for lighting
control.
STROBE
This button activates the strobe function. Then the fader above the button controls
the flash rate.
SOUND
This button activates the sound control. The color change programs are then
synchronized with music impulses picked up via the internal microphone. The
microphone sensitivity can be set in the system menu.

With scanners and moving heads, fast settings are not practical. The movement and the color wheels cannot keep
up with high speeds and the light becomes very chaotic.
