Marquee Overview

 

The Marquee series is available in three types. The Marquee ILC is specifically designed to have features important to automated fixture operation. The Marquee, and Marquee PC, are also well suited for automated lighting, but lacks some features for large scale automated lighting systems. The entire Marquee line delivers unprecedented integration of automated and conventional lighting. Read more about these systems below. Be sure to read about available accessories to expand your Marquee below. Printed information such as brochures, spec sheets, and other information such as users guides, are available in the download area. If you don't find the information you are looking for, don't hesitate to contact support. Refer to the license agreement for specific software conditions.

Marquee ILC

A true last-action tracking console that can easily incorporate programming for automated fixtures, the Marquee ILC was designed with complex programming shows in mind. The Marquee ILC has all the simplicity and conveniences of the Marquee console, but with a whole lot more. The attribute palettes, encoders, and effects ease the operation of shows with large quantities of moving lights, as it delivers integrated control of fixed and automated lighting. The Marquee ILC provides a higher level of sophistication and the ability to control hundreds of automated and conventional fixtures.

Marquee

The Marquee lighting control console is the worlds easiest to use. The key to the simplicity lies in the heart - the software designed by Horizon Control, Inc. Instead of an outdated text-based DOS user interface, the Marquee software uses a fast and familiar Graphic User Interface (GUI), much like your personal computer, complete with Internet Explorer and Media Player. The display clearly and accurately shows you what the fixed and automated fixtures are doing at all times. It is a true last-action tracking console that will run any live performance, operate as a conventional preset desk, and provide complete support for palettes and other automated lighting functions. As your lighting control needs change, so can the Marquee. New points of control can be added through hardware upgrades that are easy to install and inexpensive. If you need more channels, or the latest version of the Marquee operating software, you can supercharge your Marquee with just a click of the mouse. Marquee is quite simply easier to operate than any other console you'll find.
