Baton 1616 Professional DMX Console 15.6″ Touch Screen, 7 Universes & Integrated UPS

The Baton 1616 is positioned as a next-generation DMX 512 console, designed to offer a complete and deeply intuitive control experience. The linear design is combined with a stunning 15,6-inch capacitive touchscreen, which guarantees rapid response and superior visual clarity compared to market standards. The multicolored LED backlit faders not only enhance the console's aesthetics but also provide immediate visual feedback on playback status, making the workflow fluid even for those new to complex systems. Thanks to fully customizable workspaces and the Fixture View function, the operator can virtually visualize the stage and position elements by simply dragging objects on the screen.

Hardware Reliability and Operational Security

The stability of the Baton 1616 is ensured by a high-quality motherboard built with anti-static industrial materials and surge protection. Equipped with a high-performance processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a 120 GB SSD, the console runs a custom Ubuntu Linux operating system that eliminates the risk of viruses and sudden crashes. A key safety feature during live events is the integrated UPS power supply, which allows the controller to remain operational and maintain signal control even in the event of a blackout or external power failure, preventing data loss or show interruptions.

Computing Power and Expansion of DMX Universes

In terms of connectivity and power, the Baton 1616 offers 7 physical outputs with photoelectric isolation to natively manage 3584 DMX channels. The real strength of this model lies in its expandability: through the Art-Net protocol, it is possible to manage up to 32 DMX universes for a total of 16.384 channels. The console can control up to 6000 lighting fixtures and offers 15 physical playback faders capable of executing up to 80 playbacks simultaneously. The internal memory can accommodate up to 2700 playbacks with unlimited steps, 300 device groups, and a wide range of fixed shapes and curve effects that can be modified via parameters.

Multimedia Synchronization and Remote Control

The Baton 1616 excels at creating synchronized shows thanks to its integrated music player and advanced timeline management. The console can automatically generate the music waveform, allowing the engineer to mark cue points in perfect sync with the beat. Fill Mode further simplifies editing by automatically filling scenes between selected markers. Connectivity is guaranteed by USB ports for backup, HDMI output for external monitors, and a Gigabit network port for fast TCP/IP transmission. Additionally, support for remote control via Android tablets and compatibility with the RDM protocol for remote lamp identification offer complete freedom of action in the field.
