Microstar was
originally produced in 1982 as an alternative to expensive and
complex dedicated memory lighting controllers. The easy-to-use
software provided an operator-friendly working environment,
taking less than an hour to learn. The Apple IIe computer
offered a readily available and reliable hardware platform since
it was the first mass-produced and popular personal computer. As
one of the most successful models in computing history, the
Apple IIe is still running educational programs in many schools.
As a result, complete systems and parts are widely available at
low cost as they are replaced by newer technology. Original
Microstar systems are still in use running productions today.
As Microstar users for nearly 15 years, the principals of Dimmer
Ideas realized that Microstar could offer educational and
community theaters a feature-packed, reliable, and cost
effective way to upgrade typical analog (0-10 vdc or similar)
two scene preset control systems to computerized (memory)
control without the costly conversion to DMX. Your existing
preset console can be used to load cues into memory and provide
hands-on touch up to cues played from memory. The "cue sheet
screen" and the "channel levels screen" displayed on the
computer monitor are intelligently laid out and the software
commands are intuitive. Microstar is the easiest memory system
to use anywhere! An optional manual crossfade/go unit is
available. It's also easy to run a remote video monitor to the
lighting designer's desk in the house.
To make a long story short, Dimmer Ideas located the inventor of
Microstar and commissioned a new production run of control
cards. Thoroughly experienced in Microstar and Apple
technologies, Dimmer Ideas offers the cards or complete systems,
installation, and service after the sale to make your existing
lighting system even more productive. If you have access to an
Apple, call for a free genuine 5.25" floppy disk DEMO COPY of
the Microstar software and give it a test drive today--the
instruction manual is also on the disk! Move up to Microstar! |
