BUTLER XT
Similar to the Butler but with more connectivity options and RDM capability, the Butler XT is a DMX/RDM engine that can be used in standalone mode to replay and loop previously uploaded lighting shows, programmed using a PC running the e:cue software suite. The Butler XT is also used as a DMX/RDM device controlled by another e:cue Engine. In standalone mode, one DIN-rail mountable Butler XT controls up to 1024 DMX/RDM channels. The DMX/RDM channel control can be increased to 65,536 channels by clustering more Butlers XT. This Engine has manyconnectivity options used to control the lighting show running on the device. Connectivity options include direct connection to Glass Touch User Terminals, RS232, digital dry contact inputs, and e:cue protocols.
Key Features
- Control up to 1024 DMX/RDM channels
One small yet powerful Butler XT can control up to 1024 DMX/RDM channels (individual control of 1024 monochromatic light nodes or 340 RGB color mixing nodes).
- Supports RDM protocol for bidirectional communication
RDM’s (Remote Device Management) bidirectional communication feature allows configuration, status monitoring, and management of lighting fixtures with RDM capability.
- Internal real-time and astronomical clock
Time-related triggers designed using the e:cue software suite also work when running on this device by using the Butler XT’s internal real-time and astronomical clock. This feature allows programming of lighting show triggers based on specific dates and taking into account daylight savings, and time of day, such as the start of dawn.
