Jester TL
The Jester TL offers control of 200 dimmer channels from a numeric keypad using
industry standard command syntax. Up to 30 fixtures can be controlled using fixture
select buttons and three control wheels. Playback is by a traditional theater playback
stack, or submaster control using multi-function-buttons (an external DMX desk can
be connected as a fader bank).
In common with the rest of the Jester range, a monitor port is standard on the Jester TL.
Channel, fixture, cuestack, and submaster data can all be viewed using the monitor. Onboard
LCD screens also provide the user with all information needed to operate the console allowing
it to be used without a monitor. (It is recommended that for ease of use the monitor is always
used)
A USB port allows users to back-up shows that have been recorded on the Jester TL. A
USB keyboard can also be connected for fast entry of names and numbers. Show files are
compatible with the Jester ML desks.
A DMX-IN port allows the Jester TL to be used as a back-up console for other desks. It is
possible to snap shot a full 512 channels of DMX into submasters or the memory stack. The
10 submaster faders can be expanded up to 24 by using a DMX desk connected to the DMX
Input as a ‘wing’. All 24 submasters per page are accessible using multi-function-keys.
MIDI notes can be used to trigger channels or submasters. A sound to light jack allows for
chases to be sequenced to music. A remote input jack allows any button on the front panel
to be pressed from a remote control. Chases can be recorded into the memory stack or
directly into submasters.
Channel selection groups and fixture palettes allow quick selection of common chan-
nel sets and fixture looks. Macros allow frequently used sequences of key presses to be
recorded and replayed. A built-in effects engine allows quick generation of movement effects
for fixtures.
The Jester TL has three modes, allowing it to operate in preset, program, or playback mode.
The Jester TL provides users with a powerful set of programming and playback tools for both
dimmer lighting and intelligent fixtures in an easy to use and economical lighting console.
