4.3. Product Specifications
The LAMPY is a hybrid programmer-based tracking console.
Hybrid means it may be used to either control conventional or moving light fixtures in the same easy-to-
use way.
Being a programmer-based Console, you always have the chance to override the LAMPY’s output
because the programming interface always has precedence.
“Tracking” as opposed to non-tracking defines that values are kept when changing between cues in one
playback until they are set to a different value.
