Elektralite : Products : CP10xt

Usually this "great controller" will take the form of a computer based program or be designed in such a way that all of its features are crammed onto just ten tiny buttons!

Great idea, right?

No, Wrong!

It’s a very bad idea! For, while there are a few computer geeks and whiz–kids out there that might just be able to run "the board that does everything", the lighting manufacturers' salesman chooses to ignore who is going to be using the product after “wonder-boy the programmer" has left the venue for pastures new ...

You — The owner and operator of the venue.

However, as we didn't go to the School for the Overtly Complex—preferring to learn our trade in the field—we would recommend a slightly more realistic approach. Something that is simply ...

Easy to use and reliable.

Enter the CP10xt. A controller designed and manufactured by a company that understands the realities of the entertainment business—not the fantasies. A controller designed with You, and only You in mind.

So remember these words next time a salesman tells you "this controller is so user friendly it can run all by itself" and then continues to advise that "you don't even need to be in the building". Because, in reality, in the real world, what are you going to do at 8.00pm on a Saturday night when Wonder Boy's left and you can't even get the lights on?

CP10xt's are supplied with pre–programmed lighting scenes—just the sort of lifesaver you need when the lights go out and you're in a fix. Furthermore, because it's so easy to control, virtually anyone can take command of the lighting rig ... without spoiling the party.

CP10xt. No rocket science involved!

Overview

The CP10xt is a universal moving light controller that offers control of 16 x 8-channel fixtures.

The CP10xt is capable of programming a wide variety of different manufacturers’ intelligent moving fixtures through the use of extensive on-board libraries and a customization facility to control other fixtures not included. It will also control dimmers, color changers – in fact, virtually any device that utilizes DMX protocol.

The CP-10xt takes only seconds to learn how to enter a cue, create a chase, and construct a macro. Manual control of any individual or multiple fixtures can be done at any time even while a pre-programmed show is playing.

Other features include: auto-masking, timed crossfade, and coarse or fine joystick control. The user also has the added ability to turn the joystick from absolute to relative position control, providing accurate positioning of moving lights.

To enhance creativity, a MIDI port is provided which allows control of the CP 10xt remotely from another MIDI device such as a keyboard. The MIDI port also allows CP10xt to be linked, and to download or upload complete memory content to a 3.5” disk, for example.

The CP10xt is supplied with an external power supply which is UL listed and C.S.A. approved. It is available in either 110 - 115 volt or 230 volt ratings
