EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual Chases The expression “Chases” refers to situations in which individually programmed light steps (up to 99 steps) are executed in succession (the lights “chase” each other). These steps can be both individual presets as well as memories. You can create extremely complex chases. For example, parameters such as fade-in speed of a step, chase sequence speed and their control via the built-in beat generator or music can all be programmed. 2.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual (10) (11) (5) (1) (2) (4) (3) (8) (9) (6) (7) Fig. 2.1: Section overview 2.1 Control elements of the A PRESET section 2.2 Control elements of the B MEMORY section ( 2 ) The faders of the B MEMORY section are located in the block underneath the A PRESET section.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual Exception: When the LC2412 is in preset mode (“P” shown in the bank display), the faders control the same channels as the faders of the A PRESET section. This way, you can simul-taneously create a second preset. (14) – (17) These faders are also a part of this section, but they have a double function. When the LC2412 is in sound to light mode (party light function), they control the illumination level of individual memories assigned to particular frequency ranges.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual Example: You have disabled the solo function for channel 8. The light on channel 8 remains lit if you press one of the Flash keys, as long as the solo function is active. Previously, you have programmed a memory that uses channel 8. The memory has just been activated on the stage. Now, press one of the Flash keys (CH FLASH (32) is also activated). There are two lights on the stage, i.e. channel 8 and the channel activated with the key! 2.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual (42) B fader. This fader is the master control for the B MEMORY section; it determines the maximum illumination level of all memories. Just like in the case of the A fader, the FLASH keys can be utilized even when the fader is at its zero position. When the MAIN fader is raised up, both of these faders (A and B) can be used to fade in and out between the settings of both of these sections. (43) MAIN fader.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 3.1 Basic configuration (62) Pull all the faders all the way down to the zero mark. This way, you assure that you start your exploration of the possibilities of the LC2412 from a neutral setting, and can observe the results of the changes you implement directly. Use the POWER switch to power up your BEHRINGER EUROLIGHT LC2412. The LC2412 displays now the setup that was most recently used, just prior to being powered down last time. (63) Fig. 2.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 3.3 Crossfading between presets Should you wish to store additional presets, simply repeat the steps: To crossfade between two presets, you need an additional preset. This additional preset is created by utilizing the faders in the B MEMORY section. 1. Adjust the preset (stage design); 1. Pull the fader B (42) upward, the fader A (41) downward. The MAIN fader remains open. 2. Now, set up the lighting situation by using the faders of the B MEMORY section.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 4.2 Crossfading between different setups 4.2.1 Crossfading between presets and memories Crossfading between memories and presets works exactly the same way as crossfading between two presets. The only difference is that the EUROLIGHT LC2412 has to be in memory mode. 1. Activate a stored scene (see chapter 4.1.2). 2. Activate a preset by using a fader from the A PRESET section; fader A remains locked. 3. Now pull fader B down and fader A up.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 4.4 Programming memories without direct control (Blind) In addition to programming memories by using the preview function (see chapter 4.1.3), you can also program memories using yet another method, without being visible on the stage. Make sure that the LIVE key (30) is not active. The fader A also has to be in its zero position.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 6.1.2 Programming memory chase 1. Press the CHASE key (26) to begin programming, as described above. 2. Select a chase using the DATA wheel. The displays shows whether you are dealing with a level chase or a memory chase. 3. Select “MEMORY” with the SOFT B key. ◊ If you selected a level chase and then select “MEMORY” (or vice versa), you are asked (in the display) whether you wish to program a new chase. Select “YES” to overwrite the previous chase. 4.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual Each step is shown in the display; the STEP key is disabled. If you additionally enable the INSERT key, you can fade in and out between the two steps selected last. Key INSERT MANUAL On • • Off Table. 6.4: Fading in and out via X-Fade fader 6.2.4 Manual fades using the STEP key When the MANUAL, SOUND and RUN keys are disabled, you can trigger chases only by using the STEP key (or a footswitch).

EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 6.3.2 Previewing and editing CTM 7.2 Putting the output on hold Replay mode and speed If you want to freeze the current console output while you can make another setup, you can use the HOLD key for this purpose. After successfully programming a chase, you can also preview the replay mode and the chase speed, without any of these being visible on the stage. This is particularly uselful when you are arranging a light show and don’t have time to program a chase in peace.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 7.4 Theater mode 7.5 MIDI functions You have the option to store a long sequence (99 steps) so that you can define an individual crossfade time for each step. This way, you can uploade a framework for a complete theater piece into the chase storage, and then expand it with presets and memories. Therefore, think of theater mode as a special kind of chase programming.
EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual 7.7 Adjusting differing illumination levels The EUROLIGHT LC2412 lets you adjust illumination levels of various lighting elements to one another so they better match each other. This lets you increase illumination levels of lighting elements whose illumination is insufficient for a specific fader position. In that case, the lighting element whose illumination level was insufficient shines sufficiently brightly.

EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual DMX channels A DMX channel consists out of one digitally transmitted information unit (1 Byte/8 Bit), whereas 256 different information units can be transmitted. These units are transmitted sequentially, that is, channels 0 and upwards on the sender are accounted for, and the respective information units are assigned. The sequence then starts anew at the next channel. In the worst-case scenario (all 512 channels are in use) the refresh rate has the value of 44.1 Hz.
