Doug Fleenor Design: Preset 12 Control Station

Preset12 is a lighting control station that uses the DMX512 control protocol to capture and play-back up to 12 static looks. Looks are recorded by capturing the output of any DMX512 console or by combining other Preset12 looks. When the DMX512 console is not present (or turned off), the looks are recalled by pressing one of Preset12’s buttons. When the DMX512 control signal is generated by a source other than Preset12, Preset12 goes offline and allows the other source to control the lights. With an IP68 rating, the Preset 12 is the same height and width as a single gang switch plate (2.75” x 4.5”) and is only 9/32” thick. No back box is required.
