Freedom

Code: ADB Freedom
ADB

The state of the art lighting and show control tool when more multi-parameter instruments are needed to be controlled and fast access is required. Together with the LIBERTY console this range is ideal for all venues seeking a fully integrated solution to control conventional and moving lights as well as LED sources and other modern equipment in a portable package.

Freedom features four additional rotary wheels with pushbutton function and a super smooth large size trackball for precision positioning control,  allowing users controlling quantities of multiple LED fittings, intelligent lights or media servers as well as the standard generic dimming systems.

Four physical DMX outputs and one physical DMX512 input on board with 5 pole standard XLR connection sockets can be used in case no ETHERNET network is available.

Highly intuitive thanks to the graphical user interface and powered by the hator software this desk meets the sophisticated needs of all lighting professional. The lighting control desk philosophy has been specifically designed for theatre stage lighting without any compromise.

Freedom is available in five basic configurations controlling channel numbering from 120 to 2048 multi-parameter lighting instruments and can address up to 32 universes via suitable networks. Synchronised backup is optionally available. FREEDOM consoles perform as standalone or as a client consoles in an extended networked system. Networked FREEDOM consoles will support multi-user / multi-operator setups with optional software packages and hence works perfectly together with other control desks powered by HATHOR software.

Freedom comes with an SSD disk drive, which makes the console extremely silent and improves the boot-up time.
