Showtec - TR-512 Install

In many lighting integration projects, it is often useful to have a module capable of controlling scenes or animations without depending on a console. The Showtec TR-512 Install fits precisely into this role, with an approach designed for permanent environments where the reliability and repetition of a sequence must remain totally autonomous. Installed on a DIN rail, it fits easily into an electrical cabinet or technical rack, while remaining easy to access thanks to its OLED screen and front controls.

The module can record several DMX shows directly from a console or external controller, which are then stored on the micro-SD card supplied. These shows can then be recalled in a variety of scenarios: external triggers (via its 6 GPIO inputs), a dedicated wall panel connected via RJ45, or activation via DMX when you want to integrate the TR-512 Install into a hybrid structure. This flexibility means you can manage both automated mood lighting and a sequence of effects synchronised with sensors or programmed events.

Internal operation offers three standby playback modes, each useful depending on how the space is used. You can use a static scene, loop a show continuously or simply let the DMX signal pass through the fixture. Triggering options offer a choice of behaviour depending on the logic required: single pulse, toggle, hold, or automatic activation on start-up.

In terms of connections, the fixture uses Phoenix terminal blocks, which are ideal for clean, durable installations. Finally, its compatibility with the TR-512 Install/Pocket wall panel makes it easy for non-technical users to use, with simple, direct triggering.

All in all, it's a solid tool for any lighting installation requiring stand-alone, reliable and discreet DMX control.
