SC MASTER LITE Introduction •1
Introduction
Control centre and MP3 player
SC MASTER series units are MP3 players with a higher Show
Control management system for controlling multi-media
events. Within the SC Net network, they form the central
control system with a variety of input and output options.
Sound and control information is stored on a memory card the
size of a postage stamp. Direct and undelayed access ensures
both synchronization and interaction. The SC MASTER gives
you "complete control"! Congratulations and welcome to the
Stumpfl system!
The core of the device is a microprocessor with programmable
operating software which allows the many features and func-
tions of this new generation of control units to be implemented.
The required configuration settings can be made, saved and
called up in the entry menu. Any future developments can
easily be incorporated via software updates, which will keep
your unit always up-to-date.
This manual with its step-by-step instructions should help you
to familiarize yourself with all the features and possibilities of
this device. This manual is also available as PDF document.
The latest version can be downloaded from our website.

2 •Introduction
The Features
In order to get a feeling for the extraordinary efficiency of the
SC MASTER LITE you will find an overview over the most
important features below. If some of the topics inspire your
curiosity, just follow the cross references for further informa-
tion.
Audio
• The integrated audio player offers stereo sound and does
not use any movable parts. It is therefore virtually wearfree
and uses a Compact Flash Card (called CF Card for short)
as data carrier. The audio data are compressed in accor-
dance with the Fraunhofer MPEG1 Layer3 audio com-
pression format (called MP3 for short).
• On a CF card the size of a postage stamp with a storage
capacity of 512 MB more than eight hours of stereo sound
can be stored at a quality which is similar to that of a CD.
• IR remote control for volume and sound (bass and treble
control), as well as Start, Stop, Skip, etc.
• Integrated 2 x 10 W audio amplifier for the LS variant of
the SC MASTER LITE.
Control
• Control of external components via SC NET, DLC data
signal or the integrated RS232 interface.
• Control of lighting and other devices via DMX512 signals.
The first six channels are available via a special optional

SC MASTER LITE Introduction •3
cable, control of up to 64 channels via the optional DMX
Upgrade Module. Transmitting IR commands is not possi-
ble with the DMX output in use.
• Multi-functional DATA I/O port for linking up with peripheral
devices, e.g. transponder reader for identification of indi-
vidual visitors.
• Comprehensive timer function and synchronization with
DCF77 signal with the optional radio clock module.
• Freely definable show configurations via Scheduler file.
Even highly complex conditions can be specified.
• Remote control via the RS 232 input for integration with
higher media control systems.
• Remote input for direct starting of shows via simple key-
pads.
• Direct connection of keyboard matrix with up to 24 keys.
• Connection of light barriers and motion detectors.
• Interactive show design in response to a variety of input
conditions, e.g. branching to other show sections by
pressing a key.
• In the case of a power failure while playing back a show
from CF Card, SC MASTER automatically saves the posi-
tion where the show was broken off. After starting up
again, you can resume the show from the same position.
• Simple, intuitive programming of all sequences via Wings
Platinum software. Subprograms can be called up via the
Call Function; sequences that remain the same needn't be
programmed more than once.

4 •Introduction
• All settings are menu driven via a display which is well
readable from all angles, with the brightness being adjust-
able. Up to six set-up configurations can be saved and re-
trieved at any time.
• The SC MASTER operating software can be updated via a
file and a Windows PC at any time.
