is the powerful and compact device designed by Color Kinetics which stores and plays ®
is the powerful and compact device designed by Color Kinetics which stores and plays lights. iPlayer 2 is an innovative controller – as power-
ful as many traditional rack-mounted DMX control systems but only a fraction of the size and cost. iPlayer 2 has 16MB of flash memory, which can control a full DMX512 universe (170 individual light addresses).
iPlayer 2 is versatile and simple to operate. iPlayer 2 features two autonomous modes of operation: Program Mode and Playback Mode. Program Mode and Playback Mode operate independently due to the unique physical setup of iPlayer 2 required for each. Indicator lights easily identify the operat-ing modes.
Program Mode has two primary functions: recording/storing ColorPlay shows and simulating ColorPlay shows live on an installation, which is useful for editing/testing light shows. After authoring one or many creative light shows in ColorPlay, download the shows to iPlayer 2 using the ColorPlay application software. Refer to the online ColorPlay User Guide and iPlayer 2 User Guide for more detailed instructions on simulating, downloading, trigger assignment and editing.
Playback Mode lets you play the shows stored on iPlayer 2 onto your lights. In Playback Mode iPlayer 2 automatically plays the show assigned to Trigger 1. Put iPlayer 2 into Program Mode to change shows and assign a new show to Trigger 1. Using external controller interfaces, such as the Controller Keypad and many popular architectural controllers, lets you select from multiple shows.
The graph below is provided as a general guideline for determining the iPlayer 2 memory required for different ColorPlay shows saved at 40 frames per second. Capacity is dependent on the number of light addresses and ColorPlay show complexity and duration. iPlayer 2 can store over a hundred small, simple shows or a few large, complex shows.
