ABOUT THE MANUAL
This manual, like most operations manuals, is
divided into sections. The first section is the bor-
ing section and contains the details about what all
of 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 more interesting things, such as create cues
and effects. 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. Here, you will learn
how to run the tool that you have purchased. Af-
ter that, you can go to the third section of the
manual to learn about the various accessories,
internal parts, and technical specifications of the
console.
ABOUT THE BIJOU
The Bijou is a full memory operation lighting con-
trol console with the added (optional) capability to
operate as a 2-Scene preset/1-Scene manual
preset board. The Bijou allows the user the ability
to operate in either or both modes of operation for
true operator flexibility. The console gives the
operator two distinct and independent sets of
cross faders. This allows the operator to run man-
ual 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 inde-
pendent 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 op-
erated via bump buttons, sliders (manually), or as
timed action controls. They can also be used as
presets. The submasters are also used to control
the powerful effect package.
