Strand’s new Palette consoles build on the most successful lighting control operating system to bring you PaletteOS™ , a high-resolution point/click graphic environment to unleash your creativity and speed up workflow. PaletteOS™ harnesses the power of Windows XP Embedded software to provide a powerful stable operating system.

Palette is powerful – up to 500 channels and 1000 moving light attributes, with amazing automatic focus group controls that will slash your programming time.

Palette has a powerful web browser that lets you configure and monitor your network and interact directly with Strand’s award-winning C21 dimming systems. Right there on the console screen.

And Palette is an elegant and highly functional lighting console, leveraging industry-standard technologies to make it robust and future-safe. Data structures are built on SQL, dramatically simplifying the challenges of new feature enhancements. Screen layouts and network communications use XML, making it easy to communicate with other cool products (and not just ours) over the network. And Palette’s brain is a rugged industrial PC that could be swapped in seconds if you ever needed to.

Clean, elegant, and very, very powerful, classicPalette is a thoroughbred. With 150, 250 or 500 channels (and double those numbers of attributes), two playbacks and 32 submasters, classicPalette will eat up complex shows, easily – elegantly.

There’s even an entry-level classicPalette console, with 100 channels, 16 subs, and all the power of Palette.

Single-scene/two-scene is still the best starting point for a lighting control education, but these preset boards are a far cry from the one your daddy learned on! With 32/64 or 48/96 single/two-scene operation, presetPalette hasn’t even broken a sweat! When students are familiar with preset operation, there is no limit to what they can learn from the power and intelligence of PaletteOS.

128 submasters for hands-on control of lights, groups, effects or just about anything, subPalette is the console for live shows, TV production and tours. With all the power of Palette, and the incredible flexibility of all those faders and bumps, you’ll be plotting, programming or just plain winging it with equal ease.

A new graphical offline editor that runs in Windows, and is compatible with Strand 300 and 500 Series show files.
