Unison overview
Welcome to the Unison Architectural Lighting Control System. Unison gives
you professional power to control lighting – but you don’t have to be an expert
to use it.
Because architectural lighting is used for a variety of purposes, it requires
flexible control. Unison provides flexibility by grouping similar architectural
lighting fixtures into light zones. A light zone is one or more light fixtures that
are controlled together. Unison controls light zone intensity, or brightness, in
several ways.
For fast, convenient control, Unison uses Presets; recorded sets of light zone
intensities. Presets activate with the touch of a button and recall a specific
lighting look. All standard Unison control stations can recall Presets.
Presets are adaptable. Most Unison control stations let you choose between
several Presets. Some can also raise and lower overall Preset light intensities.
With Unison Fader and LCD stations, you can raise and lower overall Preset
light intensities, adjust intensity in individual light zones, or set your own
lighting look manually using faders. If your lighting needs change, these
stations make setting and recording new Presets simple.
Unison systems can also record Presets by taking a “snapshot” of a lighting
look set by a lighting console or other DMX512 device connected to a
DMX512 Connector Station. After the look is set, the snapshot is recorded in
the same fashion as a regular Unison Preset.
If your facility has rooms that can be split into sections by movable walls or
partitions, a Unison system can separate lighting control in each section when
the walls are closed, or combine control of all sections when the walls are
open.
Unison systems are designed to take care of themselves. Except for
occasionally cleaning dimmer rack air filters, and changing batteries in the
optional handheld Wireless Transmitter, Unison is maintenance-free.
If a problem does occur, Unison systems are designed for fast troubleshooting
and quick repair. All components are easy to replace, and Unison systems are
covered by Electronic Theatre Controls’ two-year limited warranty and backed
by 24 hour technical service.
