FCP Pro – fully automated studio rigging contol unit
Art.Nr. 3509005 FCP Pro – Desk Version
Art.Nr. 3509006 FCP Pro – Rack Version
The FCP Pro control system is probably the most advanced rigging control system on the market. Greatest attention is paid to the aspects of safety, user-friendliness and reliability.
This control system for studio lighting suspension can be used to control hoist systems, telescopes or pantographs as well as mixed equipment and third-party products.
Individual devices as well as preset groups of lifting devices can be controlled via a large color touch display. Scenarios that have already been saved can be called up and restarted – Select, Save, Recall. The movement of the lifting devices is carried out by means of a joystick with a confirmation button.
The innovative user interface is clearly arranged and self-explanatory. Different operators can be assigned different authorizations. In the supervisor mode, the GUI of the studio layout can be easily adapted by the administrator on site if required (e.g. in the event of an extension).
