The external console ships already installed on the Followspot 1200 handle. This console has dedicated sliders and buttons to control only the associated fixture.

In addition, the external console connects to the Followspot 1200 using a dedicated 5- pin XLR connector on the control panel.

Pins 4 and 5 of the External Console Only socket carry power for the external console. Therefore, DO NOT connect the DMX cable to this socket. Otherwise, you could damage the DMX controller or the fixtures connected to the DMX link.

The external console controls have pre-assigned functions and labels. This simplifies the fixture’s operation.

When the Followspot 1200 is in any of its programming modes, the external console is not operational.

The dimmer has a Blackout and an Open button. This allows the operator to keep the slider at a fixed position when closing the dimmer to 0% or opening it to 100%.

When the dimmer is open after having pressed the Open button, the operator can resume the slider control by gently touching the slider. Resuming slider control after blacking out the dimmer is not possible, however.

The shutter has no fixed position buttons to operate along with the slider. This slider has a closed and an open position on the left side, while the right side has another open position.

The shutter frequency changes from short yet separated openings to a fast strobe-like action as the slider moves from left to right.

The iris has a Closed and an Open button. As with the dimmer, this allows the operator to keep the slider at a fixed position when closing the iris to its minimum or opening it to its maximum.

The slider operation can resume by slightly touching the slider after having set the iris to either its maximum or minimum aperture by using the corresponding button.

The focus control has no fixed buttons to operate along the slider, either. The focus changes from near to far as the slider moves from left to right.

The button on the left lower corner of the console determines the way the color changes. If it is in the Fixed Color position, buttons 1 to 9 determine the color. If it is in the Color Scroll position, buttons 1 to 9 determine the scrolling speed (slow to fast).

The color temperature control is independent from the color control mode. It has three positions, 6000º K, Frost and 3200º K.
