The Essence of Lighting Control: dot2 Range IntroducedMA Lighting is known for its approach towards professional lighting control and enjoys a reputation for quality and reliability. Now MA presents a new compact range of lighting control solutions -- the dot2. A.C.T Lighting is the exclusive distributor of MA Lighting in North America. The dot2 range consists of three lighting consoles: dot2 core, dot2 XL-F, dot2 XL-B; two playback expansion wing solutions: dot2 F-wing and dot2 B-wing; and the dot2 Node4 (1K) network output node; as well as the dot2 onPC console software and the dot2 3D visualization software solutions. Designed for small and mid-sized projects and venues, dot2 offers advanced functionality with outstanding ease-of-use. Full tracking backup is available via plug and play networking. The company says intuitive operation is the core of the dot2 philosophy and with all connectivity onboard, the dot2 range is suitable for most theatre, touring, corporate, television, and education lighting environments. The easy to operate dot2 software is available in multiple languages and provides onboard help and direct hints to guide a new user to operate the console to its full potential. Simply patch and go, with no additional setup required. A full range of clever programming and playback features provide intuitive access to advanced functionality. Access to generic fixture functions is via a smart dialogue and store look functionality ensures the user can control and record what's intended. Automated tools, track and shield, and auto-unblock simplify cue-list management and auto-fix allows playback page changes to occur without unexpected results. The dot2 will feel familiar to theatrical users, 100mm faders provide full access to the master playback list at all times and a tactile level wheel gives access to lighting levels. Command-line syntax is fully supported alongside graphically assisted touch-screen control of all features. Built for touring, the dot2 hardware is compact, durable, and remarkably lightweight. Its optional modular plug and play dot2 F-wing and dot2 B-wing allow playback expansion and the full-tracking-back-up functionality ensures your show runs trouble free. Live time, tap sync, and multiple touch screens allow instant access to all playback functionality. And sophisticated features like soft-LTP automatically preserve key-lighting levels without going through black. All details about the dot2 range can be found here: www.ma-dot2.com. The website also has much more to offer like training videos, online manuals, a software download section, as well as a link to the brand new dot2 forum. The dot2 onPC and the dot2 3D software will be available in April.
