2. OVERVIEW
SCENEMAKER 1216 PRO USB is a universal intelligent lighting controller. It allows you
to manage up to 12 xtures composed of 16 channels each (192 channels in total), and
up to 240 programmable scenes.
Six chases can contain up to 240 steps composed by the saved scenes (the steps) and
in any order. Programs can be triggered by music, MIDI, automatically or manually.
On control surface you will nd various programming tools such as 8 universal channel
sliders, two assignable wheels, a lot of switches and an LCD display for easier navigation
of controls and menu functions. You can control PAN and TILT of different intelligent
lighting xtures using the same wheel at the same time. These wheels allow the user to
assign individual PAN and TILT channels for every xture.
Finally, the SCENEMAKER 1216 PRO USB is equipped with a USB port that, in addition
to operate the LED goose-neck lamp (supplied), allows the connection of an external
USB drive to back up the data, and then to recall them at any time.

4.3.Common Terms
The following are common terms used in intelligent light programming.
Blackout is a state by where all lighting xtures light output are set to 0 or off, usually
on a temporary basis.
DMX-512 is an industry standard digital communication protocol used in entertain-
ment lighting equipment. For more information read Sections “14.1. DMX Introduction”
at page 25 and “14.2. Building a Serial DMX Chain” at page 25 in the Appendix.
Fixture refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a moving head or
dimmer of which you can control.
Programs are a bunch of scenes stacked one after another. It can be programmed as
either a single scene or multiple scenes in sequence.
Scenes are static lighting states.
Sliders, also known as faders.
Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of a bunch of scenes stacked one
after another.
Scanner refers to a lighting instrument with a Pan and Tilt mirror; however, the SCEN-
EMAKER 1216 PRO USB controller it can be used to control any DMX-512 compatible
device as a generic xture.
MIDI is a standard for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI
input would provide external triggering of scenes using MIDI device such as a MIDI
keyboard or sequencer.
Stand Alone refers to a xture’s ability to function independently of an external con-
troller and usually in sync to music, due to a built in microphone.
Fade slider is used to adjust the time between scenes within a chase.
11
ENGLISH
SCENEMAKER 1216 PRO USB User manual
Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also considered
a waiting time.
Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting xture that allows you to block the light
path. It is often used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.
5. OPERATION GUIDE
This unit allows you to program 12 scanners of 16 DMX channels, 30 banks of 8
programmable scenes, 6 chases of 240 programmed scenes using 8 faders and other
function buttons. With the use of two jog wheels, you may easily control the Pan or Tilt
of the scanners. To tailor your special effect lighting, this unit enables you to Assign or
Reverse the DMX channels.
5.1. Display Information
The LCD Display contains a maximum of 2x8 characters. When you turn the unit on the
LCD shows Scene 1, Bank 1 as follows:
Below some examples of display messages:

page 25 section in the Appendix of this manual.
6.2.Fixture Addressing
SCENEMAKER 1216 PRO USB is programmed to control 16 channels of DMX per xture,
therefore the xtures you wish to control with the corresponding “SCANNER” buttons
on the unit, must be spaced 16 channels apart. Please refer to your individual xture’s
manual for DMX addressing instructions.
6.3.Wheel Assignment
Because not all lighting xtures are alike or share same control attributes, this Control-
ler allows the user to assign the wheel the correct PAN and TILT channel for every indi-
vidual xture, including 16-bit channel assignments. It also allows the user to re-assign
physical faders to xture DMX channels so that the user can combine or unify control of
similar or the same attributes across different types of xtures.
