SHOWTEC Quick DMX D512S 512 Channels

512 Channels

The Quick DMX range is the ideal solution for lighting control. It allows you to control anything from simple LED spots to the most complex moving lights and pixel-based devices, using a computer, software, and an interface. The Quick DMX software is loaded onto the computer to create and control the light show via a USB or Ethernet interface.

The software has been designed to be intuitive and can therefore be used even by those with limited knowledge of DMX and lighting programming. We offer exclusive software, available for free download from the download page of our website. The software is available for Windows and macOS operating systems. All software updates are free of charge.

THE SOFTWARE

The software contains several views: Editor, Pixel, Live, Standalone. For each view, there are dedicated tabs that provide direct access to all necessary functions and settings.

Indicate your lighting equipment in Editor > Fixtures. The library contains personality files for the most common devices (spots, bars, moving heads, color changers, strobes, etc.). This library is periodically updated to keep up with new devices on the market. If the light you are using is not included, you can report it on our forum (https://thelightingcontroller.com/viewforum.php?f=25) and we will include it for you. Alternatively, it is easy to add and configure new devices yourself in the software. You can patch your devices without losing previously created scenes and generators (device-based technology).

By going to Editor > Steps, you can create scenes. This view allows you to manage many features such as:
• DMX values for each device
• RGB color picker
• Chase step overview and editor
• Time and fade mode for each channel
• 2D view of devices
• Device grouping

In Generator, you can create complex lighting scenes with just a few mouse clicks; it can manage pan/tilt movements, colors, gobos, and effects for a group of moving lights, with delay effects. It has preset shapes specifically for dimmers, movements, and colors.

With Pixels, it's easy to create chaser, rainbow, and text effects or upload GIFs to use as templates for your animated pixel show. Simply add your devices with the correct horizontal and vertical pixels, assign the color range, and place them on screen as a real setup. Pixels will perform all calculations and generate all DMX values.

In Live, you can play and customize the show according to your needs (pages, buttons, presets). You can create buttons for colors, effects, movements, but you can also trigger a complete light scene or a media file with a timeline. While operating in Live mode, you can override it with the Editor.
With 3DView, you can visualize the stage in three dimensions; furthermore, the movement of the lights is shown in real-time and from any viewpoint. You set the stage dimensions and place your objects and lighting devices. The program includes a bank of basic objects (speakers, truss, musical instruments, ...). You can also import your own objects. You set the position of each object (or device). These parameters can be set for a group of objects. You set textures, brightness, and smoke level for greater realism.

Timeline is software for synchronized editing of multimedia shows. It can play numerous file formats (video, image, audio, and light scenes). Simply drag files into the timelines and drag them for the desired duration. Possible applications are:
• Basic "sound and light". Playable audio files are in wav, mp3, ogg, and wma format.
• "Video and light" on an LED screen or video projector. Playable image files are in bmp, jpg, png, giff format. Playable video files are in avi, mpg, mpeg, mov, wmv format.

Sequential List is software for editing vertical lists of scenes. It can play scenes sequentially by pressing a "Go" button.

Overview of the main new features in QDMX V9:
• Lightshow Creator - a complete light show at the push of a button, ready to use
• 3DView – objects with textures and a new 3D engine
• Multi-head device management from A to Z
• Generator – offset, zoom, fan pan/tilt
• Live – improved BPM and Beat management
• Live – "shift" slider ( from Generator)
• Virtual DJ connection

With the "D512S" interface, you can use the Quick DMX software without limitations for all 512 DMX channels. This interface allows you to save a scene or sequence for the 512 DMX channels that will be played if the connection to the computer is lost.

Please note that the Quick DMX D512S device only works with Quick DMX software.
