DACS Model 112 Digital Remote Control Surface
|
The 112 in the Tangent
Productions studio. The 112 control surface is sitting next to the
laptop, under the lamp. Closer to the foreground is the UnMouse, which is
an absolute position touch pad for a PC. It has been adapted for use with
the Model 112 as an X-Y MIDI controller. Yes, that's a TI Speak 'n Spell in
the foreground.

The model 112 at the completion of the MQP, before the top surface was painted and
many other changes were completed. In the front part of the chassis are
the two 8-channel fader modules, for a total of 16 fader inputs. Each fader
has two LEDs for status feedback. The original LCD is shown in the rear
left of the unit. This was later swapped for a higher resolution display
which can be seen in more recent photos. To the right of the LCD is the
audio assignment module, which provides sixteen buttons with LEDs to assign
audio inputs and outputs. The rightmost module in the chassis is the
transport control module. It is intended to control tape decks, CD players,
DAT decks, and digital audio. Start, stop, play, jog, and device select
functions are provided.

The original concept rendering. It is worthwhile noting how similar the
final product was to the concept rendering.
