Overview of the Digicon-1

The information in this user manual is subject to change at any time without notice.

Version: 1.0 Date of creation and author's initials: 02-12-2020 RV Revision date and author's initials: -

Using the Digicon-1

The Ayra DigiCon-1 is a versatile controller (or wing), and offers lighting technicians various options for

sending standard MIDI signal co ands to supported software.

This eans that the DigiCon-1 is not a stand-alone lighting controller and as such, should be considered a

kind of keyboard that can be used to control specific software functions.

The Digicon-1 operates using MIDI signals only. Developed in the 1980s, MIDI is a co unication standard

that’s used by usical instru ents and usic production gear. Since the MIDI protocol is relatively

straightforward and supported by countless software progra es, it’s the perfect ethod of co unication

for progra able wings like the DigiCon-1.

The DigiCon-1 offers native support for the following software (developers):

- Nicolaudie – Sunlite Suite 3

- ...

Native support for other relevant software ay be added in the future. In the eanti e, it’s possible to

anually ‘ ap’ the device to prepare it for use in co bination with other MIDI-co patible software that

supports custo appings.

The table below lists the MIDI essages which can be used to anually ap the console.

Ple ase note: The DigiCon-1 features bank functionality for the playback section on the left side of the control

panel (the buttons and faders fitted to the left of the TAP and Black-Out controls). It’s possible to directly

activate a different bank via the Bank 1-8 buttons and use the sa e buttons to control different para eters

than the ones assigned in the previous bank.

Whenever a different bank is activated, the buttons continue to send out the sa e MIDI signals, but these

are now sent across different MIDI channels. This eans that all buttons and faders of Bank 2 trans it

signals over MIDI channel 2; all buttons and faders of Bank 6 trans it signals over MIDI channel 6; etc.

This ensures that the relatively li ited yet clear lay-out of the physical controls (16 buttons + 8 faders)

technically offers you full control over as any as 128 buttons and 64 faders.

Bear in ind however that this functionality ay not be supported by your software or it ight need to be

unlocked first. Ayra does not provide support for installing or configuring this functionality in co bination with

third-party software.

The DigiCon-1 does not feature any physical feedback ele ents such as status LEDs, which keeps its

control lay-out clear and ensures easy software integration.

Since the DigiCon-1 is equipped with its own power transfor er, it doesn’t require USB power. This counters

the use of weaker USB outputs that would only have a negative effect on its perfor ance. The USB port of

the DigiCon-1 should only be used to power a s all USB la p or any other s all gadget.

Most of the buttons fitted to the DigiCon-1 feature echanical switches, including the Flash Section buttons.

This way, there’s physical feedback that lets you know that the buttons have been properly activated.

The endless rotary encoders (the four knobs) can be infinitely rotated and send out +1 or -1 essages. The

encoders also have an assignable push-button (on/off) function for controlling and fine tuning para eters like

pan/tilt.

Use with Other Software

Due to its universal design, the DigiCon-1 can be used to perfor specific, as well as ore general tasks;

the possibilities are endless.

For certain software, it’s essential that the buttons of the Digicon-1 are ‘ apped’ before use. This is to let the

software know which signal co ing fro the controller needs to converted into which specific action.

Ayra does not offer MIDI apping support for specific (third-party) software.

Changing MIDI Messages

Since the DigiCon-1 uses fixed MIDI essages via fixed channels/outputs, its MIDI essages cannot be

altered. This also eans that it’s not possible to adjust the in/ ax values of any of the para eters.

However, it ay be that your software includes options that offer ore possibilities.

Rack Mounts

The DigiCon-1 can be used as a desktop device or ounted in a rack or flight case. Re ovable rack ounts

have been pre-installed. If you’d prefer to re ove the rack ounts, it’s reco ended that you re-secure the

screws to ake sure they can’t be lost.

Installation Requirements

In ter s of rack installation, the DigiCon-1 takes up six units (6U) and requires 68 of installation depth.

Please be advised that extra space should be reserved behind the DigiCon-1 in case you need to install

other equip ent nearby. In ost cases, it’s not possible to ount equip ent with a deep housing directly

behind the DigiCon-1. This also applies when the DigiCon-1 is ounted at the top of your rack or case. As a

rule of thu b, it’s advisable to leave an e pty space of 1U above the DigiCon-1, which could then be

covered with a blind panel or ventilation panel.

Mounting other rack gear near the front of the DigiCon-1 is less restrictive since there will be no inputs,

outputs and any connecting cables in the way.

These installation guidelines also apply when ounting the unit into a prepared desktop rack- ount or a

custo cut-out in a work surface.

Fuse

The console features a built-in fuse that cannot be replaced by the end-user since replacing the fuse requires

opening the housing. Given the specifications of the device and the very low energy consu ption, if you

suspect that the fuse has blown, the device ust first be properly inspected by a specialist.

US Port

The DigiCon-1 is outfitted with a USB port that can be used to power a s all LED la p for enhanced

visibility in dark surroundings. The output capacity of the USB output is 5 V / 1 A, which is enough for

powering s all la ps or other gadgets.

It’s not advisable to use the USB port for charging s artphones, power-banks or any si ilar devices due to

the li ited power output capacity of the port. Always use the original charger that ca e with the device you

want to charge or use the USB port of a different device provided it has enough output capacity.
