The Butler S2 is a simple yet powerful RDM-capable DMX512 output device, and is the simplest way to communicate via DMX512. Ideal for storing and replaying lighting shows in small to medium standalone projects, the Butler S2 can also serve large lighting systems, adding two DMX512 universes when paired with the Lighting Application Suite (LAS).
The compact control engine is cost efficient and can store up to 99 pre-programmed cuelists and play back up to eight cuelists in standalone mode. The Butler S2 is intended for use with the Butler XT2 and can also be used in cluster mode with additional control engines for output of up to 32 DMX512 universes in standalone mode, or 128 universes when paired with the Lighting Application Suite (LAS).
As a network-enabled device, the Butler S2 has a built-in web server for easy set up. Equipped with a built-in SD card, the engine can replay previously stored cuelists in case of a loss of Ethernet connection, making it a fail-safe solution for scalable lighting control.
The main features of the S2 Ethernet to DMX/RDM include:
- RDM-capable, equipped with bi-directional communication capabilities when in online mode,
- Transmits fixture information and reports back to the main server using the latest Remove Device Management technology
- Built-in web server for easy set up and configuration
- Store and replay pre-programmed cuelists
- Scalable up to 65,536 channels /128 universes
- Reliable uninterrupted operation
