DMX Backfade Single Universe

Product number: 08301 - £525.00

The XTBA DMX BACKFADE is a unique multiple DMX universe show recorder and desk back up system. Backfade is a modular system so the 1U case can have from 1 to 4 universes fitted. Additional universes can be added using the slave port and slave units.

Backfade is designed to be in line to the main console and can take-over a show in the event of a main desk failure. Backfade will seamlessly cross fade from the existing lighting state and then act as the main control.

If the main control becomes available again Backfade can be taken off line and will seamlessly cross fade back to the main console.

Lighting cues are recorded via the DMX inputs and stored with manually entered fade times. Backfade can also track the show in progress displaying the current cue, allowing for a quick switch over in the event of a main console problem.

Backfade uses an encoder pot with a push switch and a simple three button interface to access all the features via the 20 character, 2 line VFD screen.

The VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) provides greater clarity and greater viewing distance than a conventional LCD. Backfade can store 99 memories with fade times up to 99 seconds.
