Section 1: General introduction

Thank you for choosing the Elation DMX Operator Pro. The DMX Operator Pro is a 136 channel hybrid

lighting control device designed for DJ’s, clubs and small touring applications. This controller allows

operators to easily manipulate conventional and moving lights via simple to use buttons and faders. The

DMX Operator Pro puts programming, playback and live manipulation of Scenes and Chases at your

fingertips.

The DMX Operator Pro can control up to 8 moving lights, each consisting up to 16 channels- max 128

channels. Up to 96 programmable Scenes and 8 programmable Chases can be recorded for the moving

light section. Up to 96 programmable Scenes and 6 programmable Chases can be recorded for the

conventional par can section. There is also a compact flash slot on the rear for an optional 32MB card so

programs and setting can be saved. The compact flash card is NOT universal- it is a proprietary card that

you must buy from the dealer where you purchased your console. The model number for the optional card

is “32MB CARD”.

Also incorporated are 14 quick access scene buttons, 8 for moving lights and 6 for par cans, 8 quick

access Chase buttons for moving lights and 6 Chase buttons for par cans. The DMX Operator Pro also

incorporates an assignable joystick- ideal for pan/tilt control of scanners and moving heads. A master

fader shall be used to control the overall intensity for all 8 par can channels. A separate section of 8

independent faders are included so the lighting operator can easily control par cans on the fly. Other

features include a Tap Sync button for manual Chase override, Step/Mix/Sequence button for Chase

playback, Audio button for music trigger (via internal microphone or line level input), Group button to

control more than 1 fixture at a time and four speed and fade faders for manual override of Chases.

Every unit has been thoroughly tested and carefully packed before shipment. Unpack the shipping carton
