Introduction
This Manual
This manual describes the operation and programming of the JesterML and
JesterML24 lighting desks. It begins with a general description of the desks, the
master controls, turning on the desk and the default state. The main sections cover
the different operating modes of the desk, namely PRESET, PROGRAM and RUN.
Each of these sections contains a basic description of the relevant front panel
controls and displays, and a step by step guide to the various functions available.
The manual then moves on to more specific areas of the desk such as Fixture
Control, and concludes with sections on the SETUP functions and the technical
specification of the desk.
Certain functions (notably Presets and Submasters) are only available on the larger
JesterML24 desk. For clarity, this manual refers to both desks as simply ‘JesterML’ -
where differences exist between the two desks, these will be noted in the text.
The JesterML
The JesterML lighting desk is a compact user-friendly memory desk which records
channel levels and fixture information, and provides both theatre style sequential
memory access and sub-master (JesterML24 only) style access. Memories and
Submasters can be recorded as scenes or sequences (chases). Crossfade times
and chase speed, direction and attack can be adjusted as required. The JesterML
can control 30 intelligent fixtures (moving lights). The JesterML24 adds 24 generic
(dimmer) control channels to this. The output from the desk is by DMX512-A only.
