ABOUT THE MANUAL
This manual (like most operations manuals) is
divided into Sections and Chapters. The first section is the
boring section and contains all of the details about what all
the “PARTS” are. Unfortunately, if you are new to lighting
control and do not learn the parts, their locations and
functions you will not be able to do the interesting stuff like
cues and effects. But unlike some, we do not think that the
length of the manual is in direct proportion to the abilities and
flexibility of the control console, it will not take you long. So
take the time to read the first section. Then move on to the
interesting stuff in the second section where you will learn
how to run this new tool you have purchased. And after that,
you can go to the third section of the manual to learn about
the various accessories, internal parts, technical
specifications of the console and more boring stuff.

ABOUT THE BIJOU
The Bijou is a full memory operation lighting control
console with the added (optional) capability to operate as a 2
scene preset/ 1 scene manual preset board. The Bijou allows
the user to select to operate in either or both modes of
operation at the same time for true operator flexibility. The
console gives the operator two distinct and independent sets
of cross faders. This allows the operator to run manual 2
scene fades on the XY cross faders and at the same time
operate preprogrammed cues/scenes/presets from the other
AB set of faders. Or the XY and AB cross faders can be
operated simultaneously with two total separate and
independent cue stacks. Both sets of cross faders
incorporate [Go] buttons with manual override for
independent control of any fade action.
The Bijou is a hands on, operators, board with 12
pages of 24 submasters. Submasters can be operated via
bump buttons, sliders (manually) or as timed action controls.
And they can be used as ‘Groups’ in the creation and building
of cues/presets. The submasters are also used to control the
powerful effect package.
So unpack your Bijou from its shipping box, locate all
of the parts and pieces and you can start to set it up. It is
recommended that you keep the shipping box and materials
in storage (if space permits) to use in the unlikely event that
the board has to be sent back to the factory for service.
