The LINK system can be used to control up to 2,048 DMX channels, four full DMX universes. Wireless connection means that the iPad can be moved away from the LINK hardware, which may prove extremely useful during programming when it is desirable to view a lighting rig from different angles while simultaneously making adjustments. This is able to coexist in busy RF environments alongside other wireless technologies and allows the iPad to connect wirelessly without the need for any additional network infrastructure. For wireless connection, the LINK device features an in-built dual band Wi-Fi antenna which creates a private standalone 2.4 or 5GHz DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) network. The easy to navigate iOS app makes the LINK system ideal for new designers, while its powerful features and versatile workflow will also suit experienced professionals.Ĭonnection between the iPad (which needs to be purchased separately) and the LINK hardware can either be made wirelessly or via a USB socket (adapter not included). Its smooth faders and extensive scene programming abilities will suit those working in a theater environment, while the significant number of instant playbacks as well as the powerful movement and color chase programming tools will appeal to concert and nightclub LDs. Finally, dedicated buttons provide quick access to each of the app’s main screens and an additional set of buttons provide shortcut control of key app functions.Ĭombined together, the physical dials, buttons and faders of the console, along with the visual interface facilitated by the iPad screen, provide an intuitive and comprehensive lighting control solution suitable for a wide variety of applications. A matrix of 32 buttons provide instant access to specific scenes, fixtures or effects, while page scroll buttons – together with a 2-digit backlit LCD display – make it easy to keep track of a large quantity of scenes. Each fader is also paired with a dedicated rotary control, with push-in selection, as well as two page playback buttons. Alongside these are eight 100mm channel / submaster faders together with an additional master fader with dedicated blackout button. Four large rotary encoder wheels, with push-in selection, provide precise control over functions such as movement, zoom and focus. To augment the iPad’s screen interface, the LINK hardware offers a selection of ergonomic controls designed to give lighting designers the hands-on experience of a traditional lighting console.
