The Screen

The system is designed to be used with a touch screen, but may be used with a mouse.

K Four Workspace Windows may be shown on the screen. These contain touch buttons to control fixture selection, palette selection, groups, shapes, attributes, and so on. Visualiser may also be shown in a window.
L The system Menu softkeys are down the top right hand side. You can select these by touching or clicking them, or by using the menu buttons on the right hand edge of the control panel.
M System prompts are shown just to the left of the menu keys. Below that are Context buttons which appear when relevant to the operation you are doing.
N The Workspace Buttons allow you to quickly select and save different workspace screen layouts.
O The Wheels display shows the current attributes available on the 3 wheels. The Attribute status display above that shows which attributes are currently active or modified.
P The Playback information shows the legend and other information about the playbacks on the 10 faders.

Titan Mobile Connections panel

All the connections required for the control panel are found on the right hand side. Most are self-explanatory.

Q Four DMX outputs are provided on XLR, and a MIDI input.
R USB to host computer. The current version of the Titan Mobile panel has only one USB socket rather than the original 2 shown in the picture above. Normally the panel is powered via the USB connection. Some laptop USB ports may not provide sufficient power for the panel, in which case the DC power input S can be used to connect an external 9V DC power supply, available from Avolites.
T The PE socket / stud is to allow you to ground/earth the panel, which can help resolve DMX problems if your laptop is not earthed.
