OVERVIEW
The Show Designer 2 is a lighting controller based on the successful and simple to use Show Designer. The
Show Designer 2 expands on the existing features and adds several others. The approach of this controller
is to simplify the programming process as much as possible while still offering a high level of control at a
low cost.
48 lighting fixtures of up to 32 channels each can be controlled using two DMX 512 outputs. Control of
up to 1024 DMX lighting channels is possible. Support of Elation and American DJ lighting fixtures as
well as other popular brands is included in the setup menu. Additional lighting fixture profiles can also be
downloaded from the Elation web site.
The operating system of the Show Designer 2 uses flash memory so that the software can be updated from
a computer or the optional floppy disk drive. Software updates will be made available on the Elation
Lighting web site at www.elationlighting.com.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
Power input for an external 9V power supply. This requires a transformer with a 9VDC output at
1200ma. The plug polarity is + center with an inside diameter of 2.1 mm.
Two DMX 512 outputs each with a 3 pin and a 5 pin XLR connector. There is a polarity switch for
the 3 pin XLR which swaps pins 2 and 3. Some lighting fixtures send data minus on pin 2 and some on
pin 3. The more commonly used polarity is data minus on pin 2 (switch is to the right as you’re looking
at the back of the unit).
MIDI in and out - used for calling scenes in an automated installation.
9 pin RS-232 connector - used for connection to a PC to update the software, backup the memory or
download fixture profiles.
Keyboard – used to attach a PC keyboard for data entry. This uses a PS2 keyboard connection and is
part of the disk drive option available for the Show Designer 2.
Audio input - used for syncing chases to an external audio source. This is a line level input for
connection to the line output of a mixing console. Do not connect speaker level signals to this.
Disk Drive - This is an optional feature that allows you to back up the memory, input lighting fixture
profiles or update the software using standard 3.5” 1.44 MB floppy disks.
FRONT PANEL
Front panel features include assorted switches for programming, eight 60mm faders for direct control of
lighting fixture channels as well as for scene masters, four wheels for channel control and data entry, a
joystick for pan and tilt control and a backlit display for programming. There is also a 3 pin XLR connector
for a work light.
