BUTLER

The Butler is a DMX Engine that can be used either in standalone mode to replay and loop previously uploaded lighting shows, programmed using a PC running the e:cue Software Suite, or as a DMX output device controlled by another e:cue Engine. One compact Butler controls up to 1024 DMX channels. The DMX channel control can be increased to 65,536 channels by clustering more Butlers.
