System Overview
Cobalt is a control system for conventional lights, moving devices, scrollers and media servers.
Cobalt maintains the simplicity of classic systems with the feature-rich functionality of a dedicated
moving lights console. Clean functions for everyday theatre work with conventional lights, plus
advanced control of hundreds of moving lights, without mouse operations or computer menus. Like
today's sophisticated but deadline-driven productions, Cobalt is high energy -- with short commands
for fast results.
With Cobalt, you can move independent channels such as worklights, conductor lights, followspot and
smoke machine control to a special section that isn't affected by the rest of the system. You have
somewhere to put your screens without blocking your view of the stage. You see the important
information, at any time, on the screens or in the console displays. And you can even have remote
control of your rig with your own cordless phone. Simple, intuitive and innovative lighting control
with a big brain for complexity wherever it arises. Cobalt handles the future without forgetting the
past. Cobalt is designed for theater, broadcast, club systems, concert and special-event lighting.
Complete with a theatrical-style main playback fader pair, 80 multipurpose Masters for group,
submaster, effect and additional sequence control, 100 Direct Selects and a dedicated device control
section, Cobalt's hardware is suitable for any kind of playback situation. A unique effects system is
provided within the console, with an amazing ability to build and edit effects on the fly.
