Overview

A powerful addition to the Echo family, the DMX Scene Controller uses snapshot technology to capture lighting looks and save them to connected Inspire control stations, simplifying customization and control of individualized zones and fixtures. Combined with EchoAccess or the Inspire Four-Button with Fader Station, the DMX Scene Controller can generate DMX and allows for intensity, hue, saturation and color temperature control.
