OVERVIEW
The Show Designer 2 is a lighting controller based on the successful and simple to use Show Designer 1.
The Show Designer 2 expands on the existing features and adds several others. The approach of this
controller is to try to simplify the programming process as much as possible while still offering a high
level of control at a low cost.
48 lighting fixtures of up to 32 channels each can be controlled using 2 DMX 512 outputs. Control of up
to 1024 DMX channels is possible. A selection of the most popular lighting fixtures is included in the
setup menu.
Programming is quick and simple. Fixture selection, channel changes, Presets and Chases are used to
achieve a look on stage. This can then be saved as a Scene. A Scene is defined as the entire state of the
stage including channel levels, any number of presets as well as up to 8 chases running simultaneously.
Saving the scene is as simple as pressing the Record switch and then selecting a page number and a scene
number. Up to 4752 scenes can be saved this way. Editing scenes is also simple. Call the scene, make any
changes then resave it.
The operating system uses flash memory so that the system software can be updated using any PC.
Software updates will be made available on the American DJ web site at www.americandj.com.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
• Power input for an external 9V power supply. This requires a transformer with a 9VDC output at
500ma. The plug polarity is + center with an inside diameter of 2.1 mm.
• 2 DMX 512 outputs with both a 3 pin and a 5 pin XLR connector. There is a polarity switch for the
3 pin XLR which swaps pins 2 and 3. Some lighting fixtures send data minus on pin 2 and some on
pin 3. The more commonly used polarity is data minus on pin 2 (switch is to the right as you’re
looking at the back of the unit).
• MIDI in and out. MIDI can be used for calling scenes in an automated installation.
• 9 pin RS232 connector. This is used for connection to a PC to update the software or backup the
memory.
• Audio input. This is used for syncing chases to an external audio source. This is a line level input for
connection to the line output of a mixing console. Do not connect speaker level signals to this.
FRONT PANEL
Front panel features include assorted switches for programming, eight 60mm faders for direct control of
lighting fixture channels as well as for scene masters, 4 wheels for channel control and data entry, a
joystick for pan and tilt control and a backlit display for programming. There is also a 3 pin XLR
connector for a gooseneck style work light.
