Showtec Expression 16000 Spot: control options
The Showtec Expression 16000 Spot's control options range from super simple to so extensive that you'll need a full-time light jockey to take care of your show. The automatic functions requires hardly any prompting - it simply lets the Expression go through pre-programmed fixtures. For a bit more scope you can use the Master/Slave mode, whereby multiple units work in synchronicity so needn't spend all night behind the lighting controller. DMX mode allows for full control, of course. It lets you use all separate functions over a slightly simpler 23-channel mode, or you can enjoy the full 29 channels.
ArtNet
When constructing the Expression 16000 Spot, Showtec fitted the unit with a date in/out connector, which allows you to operate it via ArtNet. This means that you can easily compose much larger shows without being limited by your lighting controller. All in all, the Showtec Expression 16000 Spot is an excellent addition to your assortment of lighting gear.
