The WORK Lightshark LS-1 is the first DMX lighting console to offer wireless, browser-based control via a multi-touch smartphone or tablet. Classic control via PC is also possible. Up to three devices can be connected at the same time to call up different control elements on different screens according to your own preferences.
The user interface is clear and easy to operate. Even beginners with no previous experience can quickly get to grips with the lighting console, thanks to the FX engine with more than 25 presets, and start their own professional lighting show.
The LS-1 is perfect for small to medium sized events, corporate and live events, clubs, discos as well as schools and theaters.
The LS-1 can output either 4 universes via Artnet or 8 universes via sACN, has 4096 fixtures, 10 playback faders and 20 wing faders. It supports various protocols including DMX 512, MIDI, UDP, OSC & HTTP.
For user-friendliness, it is equipped with a built-in web server and connects to devices wirelessly via wifi. In addition, it has an integrated display on the right side of the control surface that shows how the controls are currently assigned. It updates when the user switches between control levels. LS-1 users thus have the freedom to control their set according to their personal preferences via the browser-based software, using a combination of the LS-1 hardware and their preferred mobile device, or via the LS-1 hardware alone.
To top it all off visually, the buttons and display of the lighting console are additionally illuminated to quickly find your way around, especially in the dark, while controlling multiple moving heads above the dance floor.
In addition to the classic control on the lighting console, control on the screens from PC, smartphone and tablet is possible. The devices connected via W-LAN can be used for lighting control in real time without delay.
The software is particularly user-friendly and compatible with Windows, Apple, Android and Linux. It especially allows multi-touch inputs at the same time on the touch screen.
For convenience, the lighting desk offers a wide integrated stand for a large tablet or several smaller devices, so that smooth control can be made even when space is limited.
A great small lighting console, with pro features. It has simplistic programming to create complex shows.
Nice to be able to roam around with a tablet/iPad so you can be remote away from setup and view lighting from the audience perspective. This console creates its own WiFi network for you to be able to do this.
I’m still learning all the features of this great console, and there are many videos online explaining how to use it to its full potential.
