The Extended Library is equipped with three distinct lighting systems:

1. General Room Lighting
   This is controlled via four dimmers located at the supervisor's desk and/or next to the entrance to the reading room.

2. Stage Lighting
   This includes two Elation Fresnel spotlights aimed at the stage, which are always available and can be controlled via DMX.

3. Moving Heads
   These are only controllable via DMX after being manually activated using the switch next to the sub-distribution panel behind the supervisor’s desk. (Note: the moving heads have relatively loud fans, which is why they are switchable.)

As the general room lighting (1) is self-explanatory, the following information focuses on DMX-based control.

In principle, the lighting systems can be controlled with any DMX-compatible device. However, two options are primarily intended for use in the Extended Library:

Basic Control via ELC AC 612 Light Controller

This controller allows users to trigger simple lighting presets. It can be found either in the yellow tech bag labeled for the Extended Library at the front desk or in the designated drawer in the technical equipment cabinet.

To connect the controller, proceed as follows:

1. (Optional) If the moving heads are to be used (note: their fans are noisy), switch them on using the button located to the right of the sub-distribution panel ("fuse box") behind the supervisor’s desk.

2. Connect the controller's DMX OUT port to the DMX input socket located at the front left of the projection screen using a 5-pin DMX cable.

3. Plug in the controller’s power supply.

Once connected, you can activate a lighting preset by pressing the corresponding button. Pressing the same button again will deactivate the preset. The currently active preset is indicated by a continuously lit LED.

Important:
Do not press the Store button or the arrow keys, as this may overwrite the existing presets!

Advanced Control via Zero 88 FLX24 Lighting Console

If the basic control via the ELC AC 612 is insufficient, the Zero 88 FLX24 lighting console can be used instead.
Note: Operating this console typically requires a dedicated introduction or prior training.
