e:cue Lighting Control Engine 3 fx

Designed for the durable and reliable control of large and ambitious projects, the Lighting Control Engine 3 is a high-performance server with two pre-installed e:cue software applications – the Lighting Application Suit (LAS) and e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT.

Compared to the regular LCE3 version, the LCE3FX is additional equipped to process external video signals and output/distribute through fixtures. The FX version is provided with a capture card and a specific Emotion FX license. SYMPHOLIGHT (min v5.2) enables to orchestrate external video signals as well as arbitrary media formats on a timeline and the pixel accurate output of these.

Equipped with 2 redundant RAID SSD which ensure an uninterrupted operation, the LCE3FX operates as ultra-reliable central control unit and versatile control server. It manages and coordinates all devices and fixtures within one project.

In addition to the high-quality industry components with ensure a durably reliable function, the LCE3 comes with six digital dry contacts and two 250 V relay outputs. The LCE3 is the superlative solution for ambitious and permanently ongoing projects. Sequences and light scenes can be individual customized trough the integrated webserver, available via mobile devices or a web browser.

The valuable, easy to read front display shows system and software reports which can be generated to any desire in SYMPHOLIGHT. This enables, for example, to display temperatures or problems in the overall system. A keypad allows direct system control. Compared to the predecessor the housing height was downsized to 3HE (133 mm). This saves precious space in the control cabinet.
