...Common ‘All Digital’ chassis is at the heart of the new Paradim^e range...

The Paradim^e intelligent digital dimmer chassis incorporates a powerful computing system which provides the ultimate in flexibility and control in 10, 16, 20 or 25 Amps per channel versions. Built to exacting standards, all Paradim^e models include a host of features not normally found on dimmers available ‘off the shelf’ or in this price range.

• 40 character user input text message. (.....installation by Ace... call 0034 56789..)
  (...on hire from ACE HIRE CO..)
• Easy internal access from the front of the unit whilst still installed and wired.
• Power devices and drive electronics modules replaceable without tools.
• Circuit breakers fitted as standard.
• Selectable dimming curves, pre-heat and max/min settings for each channel.
• DMX512 input and link-through on locking XLR's. 0-10V analogue input on standard 8pin DIN.
• Processor controlled active ventilation system drawing air in at the rear and exhausting through the front.
• Output options available by changing removable rear service plate.

...Rack mount, wall mount, portable and free-standing models in all socket variants...

>> FULLY DIGITAL. Designed to replace the successful QPack range of analogue dimmers, the Paradime digital series incorporates all the previous popular features plus many new and unique ones. The totally digital design allows the incoming signal to be manipulated in a way not possible with analogue designs. Feature set-up and control is made using the front panel LCD display and associated pushbuttons to navigate a simple menu structure. Each of the 6 channels has an independent setting for Pre-heat, Maximum level, Dimming curve characteristics and Fade in/out delay.

>> DMX and ANALOGUE as STANDARD. No additional boards are required, each Paradime dimmer comes complete and ready to go with inputs for DMX512 and 0-10V DC analogue. Socket versions carry the inputs on the front panel: only high quality locking 5pin XLR and 8 pin DIN connectors are used.

>> EASY ACCESS. Following the success of the previous QPack range, the Paradime has also been designed to allow for quick easy internal access whilst wired and installed in rack or flightcase.

>> IN-BUILT FUNCTIONS. Ready to work as part of a system or stand alone the Paradime has all the features. There are 9 chase patterns including smooth crossfade at 10 different speeds selectable from the front panel. Static display under local control can be achieved using the pre-heat function which has full control between 0 and 100% of output individually on each channel.

>> SOCKET OPTIONS. Models are available in a choice of popular socket outlets and power ratings. In Paradime models with socket outlets, the internal hard-wire output connectors remain free for use. Additional output options are therefore available by replacing the rear service panel with one incorporating one or more multi-pole connectors - most widely used formats are available as accessories.A service panel with 2 Wieland output connectors per channel is available for constructing systems with simple ‘hot-patching’.
