LSC Mantra Mini
What You Imagine, You Create
Product Overview
[Image Description: The LSC Mantra Mini unit is a compact black rectangular device designed for DINrail mounting. It features multiple ports including ETHERNET, DMX (two sets), USB, and ISOLATED INPUTS. The front panel displays indicator LEDs for Power, DMX, Activity, Ethernet, and Status.]
The Mantra Mini is a brilliant, compact playback unit offering unparalleled features for the control of conventional and intelligent lighting. It allows for the replay of any show programmed by a Mantra Lite console or the Mantra Mini offline editor, with full programmable start and finish times. The unit controls up to 48 fixtures across two DMX Universes and can store up to 100 cue lists, each containing up to 250 cues. Live console override is supported via DMX, Art-Net, or sACN, enabling any lighting console to bypass the Mantra Mini during a live show.
Featuring a Real Time clock accurate to a few seconds per year, the scheduler function allows different lighting cues to be played at predetermined times, on specified days of the week, or even specific dates. An astronomical clock provides automatic calculation of sunrise and sunset times, with lighting cues scheduled to activate with a time offset, such as sunset plus 30 minutes.
The internal Wi-Fi access point enables system configuration and editing via the free Mantra Editor software. This software utilizes the familiar Mantra Lite GUI and runs on any Windows PC or Mac. Android and iOS versions are anticipated. Remote system configuration and monitoring are also available via the RJ45 Ethernet port, integrating with LSC's HOUSTON X software. Stored cues and cue lists can be recalled via remote wall plates or triggered by third-party products over Ethernet using UDP, TCP/IP, and OSC protocols. Three voltage-free contact closure trigger inputs are available for fire, emergency, or playing sequenced cue lists.
The Mantra Lite series, to which the Mantra Mini belongs, is an award-winning range of lighting controllers from LSC, designed for ease of programming and control of LEDs, moving lightings, and conventional dimming.
