Scancommander

As early as in the late eighties, automated fixtures (moving lights) already had their established place in sophisticated shows and tours. Today, whole product families for mid-sized applications are indicators of the dynamics, emanating from this fascinating technique.

The initial approach to control automated fixtures by using generic lighting controllers soon revealed their limitations. The complexity of intelligent lighting required an entirely new user logic.

Here, the MA Scancommander has set new criteria. You will find its fundamental user philosophy of combining convenient programming with maximum flexibility when working with any number of current moving light controllers. But even today - years after its debut in 1992 - the Scancommander still features the most persuasive solutions to meet the demand of controlling intelligent lights.
