MOSAIC TESSERA PANEL CONTROLLER (MTPC)
www.etcconnect.com/mtpc
Touch this. The ancient word for ‘tile,’ a ‘tessera’ is a part of a greater
mosaic and an object of utility itself. The Unison Mosaic Tessera
®
Controller (MTPC) is both a part of a greater sophisticated networked
system and a full standalone controller, in a compact interface. The
versatile Tessera combines a sleek 4.3” touchscreen with a 512-channel
DMX-Over-Ethernet Mosaic controller. Complex lighting shows using
devices like moving lights, color-mixing LEDs, conventionals, and
dimmers can all be controlled by Tessera. It also handles impromptu
show control, accessories, automation, waterworks, and other
non-lighting effects.
Each device supports onboard triggering over Ethernet. Additional
channels and triggering interfaces are supported by optional MSC
controllers and remote devices attached over an Ethernet network.
Tessera’s integrated show-control capability is programmed and
configured using Mosaic Designer
™
software. With RealEngine
functionality, Tessera ensures an accurate representation of your full
show
– whether in software simulation or played live to connected
controllers. Tessera also employs LiveControl for live output of your
Mosaic show file to Mosaic controllers and fixtures during simulation.
With DesignerAccess, Tessera draws on an internal Web server with
pages providing status, configuration information, remote monitoring,
and remote show uploads. The QuickChange function allows show-
data to be stored on a flash memory card, which can be conveniently
transferred to another Tessera.
MOSAIC SHOW CONTROLLERS

Packed with power. These ‘instant-on’ compact devices run your
sophisticated shows reliably and precisely, time after time. The
Mosaic Show Controllers support DMX512 and DMX-Over-Ethernet
protocols to control color-mixing fixtures, conventional dimmable
fixtures, and automated lights. MSC1 offers 512 channels; MSC2
offers 1024 channels (or, 340 RGB color-mixing units); and for the
ultimate compact performance, the MSC4 offers 2048 channels with
the same solid-state package. You can choose to output DMX512
directly to your devices or send the data to your network using DMX-
over-Ethernet protocols: streaming ACN, Philips KiNet
™
, Art-Net
™
,
or Pathway XDMX
™
.
Each MSC has the same extensive range of external triggering
interfaces, including Ethernet, RS232 Serial, MIDI, and digital inputs.
The built-in real-time clock triggers precise timed events, including
‘sunrise’ and ‘sunset’ astronomical cues. Additional triggering
interfaces are supported by Mosaic’s optional RIO devices. [See
RIOs, p. 76].
