The
OPTIMA DS
is a four-channel 16-pattern lighting cross-fader with master and individual channel dimming. Controls
for adjusting the off-level and fade rate are also standard on the unit. This new design employs the latest electronic
technology and presents a control panel with a sleek modern look and simple to use controls. Added features include a
standard
DMX-512
output. When in dynamic mode, the
OPTIMA-DS
creates dazzling light shows from its built-in
repertoire of lighting animation sequences. In static mode, the
OPTIMA-DS
acts as a four-circuit dimmer with a black-out
control. The
OPTIMA DS
can also work in a traditional chase mode. In short, whether your lighting project requires sharp
light sequencing or a more subtle cross-fade mixing of colors, the
OPTIMA- DS
provides you with a perfect solution. The
DMX-512
compatibility makes the
OPTIMA-DS
a perfect and inexpensive solution for retrofit applications by working with
existing
DMX-512
dimmers. The
OPTIMA-DS2
models do not have individual channel dimmers and mount in a single-
gang masonry box. The
OPTIMA DS
requires a double-gang masonry box.
