Lightmouse LM-5: a new concept in lighting control

WORK has launched a new DMX console that consists of an ARTNET2 node to which memory has been added to store Cues. 512 channels and Cue-list (until 24). The product is called LightMouse 5 (LM-5) and allows control, program and run DMX using OSC (Open Sound Control) so with applications like TouchOSC (iPhone, iPad, Android) It is possible to create custom layouts for each user.

Lighting control in the entertainment industry has been undergoing constant change in recent years.. Numerous and different solutions have appeared to control small, medium and large events, y las consolas de iluminación más pequeñas y económicas vienen siendo reemplazadas por software de control para ordenadores (PC y Mac), which are often too complicated to be handled by the end user. El Lightmouse LM-5 de WORK, represents a change of concept that will change the rules of the game, ya que permite al usuario diseñar su propia consola de iluminación basada en sus necesidades para cada aplicación específica.

Nowadays, almost everyone uses a smartphone or tablet., and with the LM-5 it has been possible to create a device that allows you to design your own console using an iPhone, iPad o Android, thanks to the fact that it can be controlled through the OSC open protocol (Open Sound Control). Esto lo hace compatible con aplicaciones para Lightmouse como TouchOSC y Lemur (available in the APP store and Android Market) developed by third parties, que permiten personalizar la interfaz de control y crear una consola adaptada a tus propias necesidades.

In this way it will be possible to configure different console layouts that adapt to each application in which, For example, an RGB application will need 3 faders (R, G, B) a master's degree, blackout y probablemente a Amber o White (depending on the arrangements), while an app for a small club (with a few moving heads, LEDs, etc.) you will need a totally different console layout. With the LM-5, both console concepts can be pre-designed and customized, adapting to the specifications required in each case.

With a memory capable of storing 100 scenes and 24 shows, su característica más innovadora es que dicha memoria puede programarse y ejecutarse usando aplicaciones OSC en un smartphone o tablet (patent pending). The Lightmouse LM-5 is therefore like a “Swiss army knife”, ya que no solamente cuenta con Nodo ArtNet (Ethernet a interfaz DMX ) but also can be controlled by OSC server to create DMX data. It also has an internal memory to store DMX Cues and Cue-lists., with its own stand and fade time, y permite utilizar 512 DMX channels with 99 scenes and shows. All these features make the LM-5 a perfect Lightmouse for all types of commercial installations., así como instalaciones de ocio en clubs, bares, small events, etc.
