DMX control of SCS

[diecastbox]

Hiya for all those who like me would like to control scs from a lighting desk but only using a single DMX address as a GO there is a new product from Rosco that may be of interest. It is called keystroke and it lets you emulate key stokes on a keyboard with different DMX addresses so one address could be used as the space bar as your GO. Not a cheap product but could prove very useful.

The Keystroke product is actually quite flexible in that you can program the unit to respond with different keyboard commands based on the DMX level sent. eg. 10% to 15% could be a GO command, and 16% to 20% could be the "ESC" key and so on up to 100% You can set your ranges to any increment that you want and have several different commands. The only caveat is that all of your Keystroke cues would need to have a zero time so that the unit does not send a range of commands as it fades up!

You can download the Keystroke software and view a demo of the unit HERE.

The price of the Keystroke unit itself is around $400.00 US List.

It can also be used to run PowerPoint shows and any other program on your computer that can be triggered via keyboard commands.
