2Introduction
2.1 OVERVIEW
Mantra combines the ease of use of a fader based console, with the power of a touch
screen graphical user interface to make control of LED fixtures easy and intuitive while
still allowing control of moving lights and conventional dimmers. The software shows
you what to do next, ensuring a very easy learning curve for even the novice user.
MantraLite can control 24 lighting fixtures of any type, dimmer, LED, moving LED and
moving lights. The large touch screen has “Apps” that allow you to easily program
colour or position and see immediately what is happening on the home screen “rig
view”that has fixture icons showing intensity colour and position.
When controlling LED fixtures the different types of parameters (RGB, RGBA, RGBAW
or CMY) are all controlled via a simple touch screen colour picker. MantraLite makes
controlling multi-colour LED fixtures easy.
Pan and Tilt is also controlled via the touchscreen and other parameters by virtual
faders. This allows the MantraLite to control not just colour, but all the parameters of
modern moving lights.
Where MantraLite really shines is in its effects. The unique Animate Apps provides a
simple and intuitive way to quickly create chases and patterns in a single cue, usually
within just a few seconds. This feature alone makes the MantraLite the most powerful
in its class. An Undo command system and context sensitive Help ensures that
MantraLite is easy to use.
When you have adjusted the intensity and colour of your fixtures and possibly created
an animation(s) you can record the current output onto any Red Playback fader with
10 pages available for a total of 100 cues.
Fixture library updates and new software features are easily installed via USB stick
and show files can be backed up to USB stick for off-site storage.
2.2 QUICK START GUIDE
A summary of the information in this “User Manual” can be found in the MantraLite
“Quick Start Guide” supplied with your MantraLite and also available for download at
www.lsclighting.com.
2.3 FUTURE FEATURES
Future releases of the software will include:
Timed fades.
Cuelists that contain multiple cues or chases.
A “shapes” app for pan/tilt fixtures.

2.4 SAMPLE SHOW
MantraLite comes pre-loaded with a “sample show”. It is perfect for training and
demonstration of the console. The sample show is patched with the following fixtures:
6 x Dimmers patched to yellow faders 1-6
6 x RGB LED Par cans patched to yellow faders 7-12
8 x RGB cyc washes patched to yellow faders 13-20
4 x Mac Aura moving lights patched to yellow faders 21-24
Sample show fixtures
There are some sample memories already recorded on Page 10 for experimentation.
The other 9 pages of memory are blank.
2.5 VISUALISER
If you would like to see a simulation of the fixtures in the sample show working on a
virtual stage on your computer you can download a 3D visualiser lighting program called
“MantraLite Visualisation show”. See section 18 for details.

DC operation.
MANTRA/LT Model
3.2 MAINS INPUT
An IEC mains input socket is located on the rear panel and a POWER switch is beside
the power input (LT model only). MantraLite has a universal power supply that will
operate on voltages between 90 volts and 260 volts with a frequency range from 47
to 63 Hz.
3.3 SWITCHING ON
Switch on the “POWER” switch on the rear of the MantraLite (LT model only). After
briefly displaying the opening message, the MantraLite will commence operating in
exactly the same state that it was in with all of the cues, animations and patches etc.
as they were when the MantraLite was last switched off.
3.4 SWITCHING OFF
The MantraLite has an inbuilt back up power supply. When the power is switched off
(or accidentally removed), the MantraLite keeps operating on its own power supply for
about 5 seconds to allow it to automatically save your work. If you are resetting the
system by removing the power, allow about 15 seconds before re-starting to ensure
that the system has fully shut down.
3.5 DMX 512 OUTPUT CONNECTOR
The MantraLite has a 5 pin DMX512-A output connector. Connect a DMX data cable
from the DMX512-A output of the MantraLite to the DMX512 input of your equipment
(LED fixtures, dimmers, etc.) and set the required DMX address’s on your equipment.
Only use specific DMX cable (available from your lighting supply company). Never use
audio cable. The end of the DMX line must be terminated (120 Ω) to prevent the
signal reflecting back up the line and causing possible errors.
See section 5 “Patching Fixtures” for more details.

5Patching Fixtures
5.1 OVERVIEW
The output control signal from the MantraLite is known as DMX512-A. It is an
international standard for controlling lighting equipment. Your lighting fixtures and
dimmers have a DMX input and usually a DMX output so that you can connect multiple
devices in a daisy chain fashion. You set an address on each fixture and use
MantraLite to control each fixture based on its address. Each fixture will use a quantity
of DMX channels to control its different functions as listed in its specifications. The
address that you choose for each fixture must allow for the addresses used by other
fixtures so that no overlaps exist. For example, fixture 1 is set to address 001 and this
fixture uses 4 DMX channels. Fixture 2 must be set to address 5 (or higher).
The DMX signal is output on the 5 pin XLR connector on the rear of the MantraLite.
Fixtures can also be controlled via the network connector using either “ArtNet” or
“sACN” protocols. See section 16.5 for details.
In the Patch menu you tell MantraLite the manufacturer/model and DMX address of
each of fixture it is controlling. You choose a fixture number (1 to 24) (yellow fader
and button) then patch the fixture to that number. MantraLite then loads a “template”
for that manufacturer/model of fixture. The template tells MantraLite how to control
that fixture. The yellow fader of the fixture number that you select now controls the
intensity and the touch screen will provide the correct controls for that fixture. For
example, if the fixture is a multi-coloured LED MantraLite will provide a colour picker
App to control the colour and the yellow fader will control its intensity. If the fixture
has pan and tilt capabilities MantraLite will provide a position control App to control
the position.
5.2 PATCHING A FIXTURE

the details of the DMX channels for that fixture are shown on the right.
Next set the DMX address (to match the DMX address on the fixture) using the
+10, +1, -10 and -1 buttons.
Select a fixture number for the fixture by tapping one of the flashing buttons below
the yellow faders. The button/fader that you choose will be used to control this
fixture.

To return, tap [Back].
When finished patching double tap [Back].
5.3 PATCHING MULTIPLE FIXTURES
If you have multiple fixtures of the same type that are set to contiguous DMX addresses
you can patch them all in the one operation. Select the starting address of the first
fixture then select each of the fixture numbers by tapping the yellow buttons or to select
a range of fixture numbers, hold the first number and tap the last number in the range.

5.4 UN-PATCHING A FIXTURE
From the “Home” screen touch Tools/Setup/Patch.
To un-patch a fixture, press its fixture number (1 to 24) then touch Unpatch.
When finished patching double tap [Back].
5.5 SAVE PATCH
When you save a show, the patch is saved as part of that show. See section 15.
If the patch you have created is to be used on a regular basis such as in a permanent
installation or in a touring show that always uses the same lighting rig then you
should save it as the "default show". See section 16.8.
5.6 HOME VALUES
When you “Clear” a fixture (see section 9.8), if the fixture has a colour mixing function
(RGB or CMY) MantraLite will set its colour to white and if it has a movement function
it will centre the pan and tilt. These values are hard coded in the MantraLite software.
All other attributes of the fixture will be set to their “home”values that are listed in
their fixture template. You can see these values in the “View Patch” screen (above).
Typically these values will set a colour wheel to clear, gobo wheel to open, shutter to
open etcetera so that the fixture outputs an open white beam.

6.1 OVERVIEW
6.2 BASIC OPERATION
MantraLite can control up to 24 lighting fixtures. The 24 Yellow fixture faders control
fixture intensity. Moving a fixture fader automatically selects that fixture allowing its
other parameters such as colour or position to be controlled by Apps on the touch
screen (see section 7). Moving a fader to zero deselects the fixture. The Yellow
“Fixture Master” has overall intensity control of the yellow fixture faders.
The [Select] button provides more fixture selection options.
The current output can be recorded into any of the Red playbacks by tapping
[Record] then tapping a Red playback button of your choice [1-10]. Different looks
can be recorded on different Red Playback faders so that you can easily change the
entire look on stage by using the Red Playbacks. There are 10 red playback faders and
10 pages of memory giving a total of 100 cues. Repeated taps of the [Page] button
will step through the 10 pages of memory. To switch directly to a page number HOLD
[Page] and tap a Red playback button [1-10]. The Red "Playback Master" fader
has overall intensity control of the Red playbacks.

7Touch Screen
7.1 OVERVIEW
The 3 buttons below the touch screen have different functions for different screens.
Their current function (if any) is shown on the screen above each button. You can
either tap the button or touch the screen to operate them.
If the touch screen is not on the “Home” screen (as shown above), tapping the
[Back] button steps back through the screens to the “Home” screen.
Double tapping [Back] quickly returns to the “Home” screen from any screen.
The “Home” screen is divided into two sections:
The Fixtures section at the top (yellow border) has Fixture icons.
The Playback section at the bottom has Playback icons (when a recording has
been made).
All touchscreen events are triggered when you lift your finger from the screen. This
allows you to slide to a different button or no button if you select the wrong item.
An underlined letter on a touch screen button label indicates that the button can also
be operated by pressing that letter on a USB keyboard plugged into MantraLite.
Some screens have sliders to adjust values. When you touch a slider you can drag the
slider and even let your finger drift off the slider as long as you keep your finger on the
screen. If you touch the background, the slider will snap to where you touch.

7.2 FIXTURE ICONS
The top section of the Home screen has an icon for each of the fixtures that you have
patched.
Fixture Icons
The body of each icon shows the intensity, dark to bright.
The body and border shows the colour mixing (if the fixture has this capability).
A dot shows the position (if the fixture has a pan/tilt function).
Note: The colour of the icon represents colours created by RGB (Red, Green, Blue) or
CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) colour mixing in the fixture. Colours created by colour
wheels or filters are not shown.
Touching anywhere in the “fixtures section” (or touching Apps) opens the “Apps”
screen. Apps are used to control the parameters of selected fixtures. Move a yellow
fader to automatically select that fixture. Use an App to adjust the parameter.
Touching and holding any fixture icon for 2 seconds opens “Rig View”. See section 1.
7.3 PLAYBACK ICONS
The bottom section of the Home screen shows the contents of the 10 Red Playbacks.
Playback icons appear when a memory is recorded into a Page/Playback and show the
contents of the Playback.
The top part of the icon shows the memory number in the form of “P#” (Page number)
and “M#” (Memory number). The 10 memory numbers relate to the 10 playback faders.
There are 10 Pages of memory available. A black background on the page/memory
number indicates that a ”Page Freeze” has occurred. This means that this playback was
active (faded up above zero) when the page number was changed and hence its memory
is not from the “current” page. See section 11.2 for more information on “Memories”
and section 12.1 for “Page Freeze”.
Touching any playback icon allows you to change the name of the cue or to delete the
memory.

Page 19
Touch the App icon for the type of attribute that you want to control then select the
fixture(s) to be controlled. Apps are arranged in 4 parameter columns. Each column has
Apps for their type of parameter. All animate apps are described in section 10.
9.2.1 Intensity Column
The Intensity “Animate” app allows you to create intensity chasses and patterns.
9.2.2 Colour Column
The Colour “Picker” apps allow you to control the colour of selected fixtures and to “fan”
colours across multiple fixtures.
The Colour “Gels” apps allow you to pick from pre-set colours for selected fixtures
The Colour “Animate” app allows you to create colour chasses and patterns.
9.2.3 Pan/Tilt Column
The Pan/Tilt “Position” app allows you to control the position of selected fixtures and to
“fan” positions across multiple fixtures.
The Pan/Tilt “Animate” app allows you to create moving beam effects.
9.2.4 Other Column
The Other “Attributes” allow you to control attributes such as “Gobo”, “Colour Wheel”,
“Shutter” etc.
9.3 SELECTING FIXTURES
When you use an App, you need to select the fixtures that you want to control with
that App. Fixtures that have attributes that can be controlled by the selected App will
flash their buttons indicating that they are available for selection.
For example, if you select a “Pan/Tilt” App, only fixtures with Pan/Tilt attributes will
flash.
When a fixture is selected its button is lit. Multiple fixtures can be selected at the
same time.
Note: The order in which you select fixtures is used by MantraLite when you fan colours
or positions and in animations. You can change the look of a fan or animation by
changing the selection order.
There are several methods of selecting fixtures:
Move a yellow fader to automatically select that fixture. Move the fader to zero
to de-select it.
Tap the button below a yellow fader to select that fixture. Tap again to deselect
it.
To select a range of fixtures hold the first button and tap the last button in the
range. This works in either direction, low number to high number or high
number to low number.
To use any previous selections press the button (located between the yellow
faders). The “Selection” screen opens:

Page 20
Selection
The “Current” fixture selection is shown at the top.
All “Recent”selections can be viewed. Swipe to see more (if available).
To use a recent selection, touch it then touch Set.
To reverse the current selection order touch Reverse Order.
To clear the current selection touch None.
Once a previous selection is set you can still use the faders or buttons to modify the
selection as described above.
Hint: If you select multiple fixtures by pushing up their faders you might get a random
selection order. You can always check the current order by tapping [Select] and
then re order the selection using the selection methods described above.
9.4 AUTOMATIC FIXTURE DE-SELECT
When you open an App, fixtures that have attributes that can be controlled by that
App flash their buttons indicating that they are available for selection. When you
select fixtures their buttons are lit. After you have used the App to change any
parameter of the selected fixtures, the buttons of the un-selected fixtures stop
flashing. This tells you that selecting another fixture will cancel the previous selection
and start a new selection process. This speeds up operations because you don’t have
to de-select fixtures once you have set their parameters.
For example: Open the Colour Picker App and fade up fixtures 1 and 2. They are
automatically selected. Pick a colour. Fade up fixture 3 and 4. This de-selects 1 and 2
and selects 3 and 4. Pick a colour for 3 and 4.
Automatic fixture de-select can be overridden by holding the [Select] button
whilst selecting additional fixtures. This allows you to easily add fixtures to those that
you have already adjusted.
