Miranda Features
Everything you ever wanted to know about Miranda
Miranda is a modular, flexible, and infinitely scalable lighting control system. It’s easy to commission, easy to monitor, and easy to use – all at an affordable price.
To learn more about all of Miranda’s many features, read on below.
For a quick overview of the system, head back to the main Miranda Page.
Basic Specs
- small, affordable 2-universe lighting controller
- available with DMX output for permanent and portable use, as well as addressable LED control
- options for 1-gang button station, or controllable through app or web
- built for industrial temperatures, permitting installation in unconditioned cabinets
- secure, cloud-connected website allows control without a high-speed or high-reliability connection
- supports up to 900 attributes (around 300 fixtures) per controller
- run cues on up to 12 faders simultaneously
- supports snapshots, cues, and direct web or app control of fixtures
- internal timeclock engine supports triggering cues on startup, responding to button presses, and triggering from date/time or astrotime triggers
Infinitely Scalable,
Modular and Flexible
- modular controls can be distributed based on each project’s needs
- real-time control happens locally, allowing for creation of small networks with lighter infrastructure, since they don’t need to support real-time sACN traffic
- seamless operation between controllers allows for synchronized playback, even while on different networks
- easily scalable by connecting multiple Mirandas together; start with just what you need and grow from there, without the need to rework the system
Easy to Install, Setup
and Maintain
- easy for electrical contractors, and even end-users, to install – just connect to power and internet, and Miranda is online
- setup and programming can be done completely remotely, as can many diagnostics and repairs – greatly reduces the need to send techs to the job site
- keep shelf-stock Mirandas to deploy onto projects or installations as needed
- ship replacement units directly to end users – no need for a technician to visit the site
- easily create user accounts with specific permissions
- allow end users access to preset recall, without the ability to accidentally change configuration
- passwordless login ties each account to a single individual, making staff changeovers simple and seamless: your former employees lose access to the lighting systems when they lose access to their email
Intuitive Programming and End-User Support
- intuitive programming interface makes writing cues and updating showfiles quick and simple
- establish networks of Miranda devices, patch and live control fixtures, write cues, and schedule triggers
- organize controllers into systems, which abstract away the system architecture, letting you work with fixtures across many networks in the way that makes sense for your design
- run cues on up to 12 separate faders, allowing for everything from complex, dynamic effects to very simple abstractions (i.e. one fader for color, one for on/off with astrotime triggers)
- supports snapshots and direct control of fixtures via web or app
- number of cues and triggers is limited only by onboard storage – no artificial limits
- contact-closure inputs allow Miranda to receive triggers from other control systems
- easy web interface gives end users ability to trigger cues from anywhere
Cloud Connectivity
- all Miranda controllers are cloud-connected without third-party integrations but can, of course, function without internet connectivity
- cloud storage of showfile, monitoring and diagnostics
- cloud connectivity lets integrators and designers set up the controller, program cues, and update show files from anywhere
- monitor health from anywhere
- trigger presets from anywhere
- access from anywhere with an internet connection
- online monitoring and alerts reduce time spent at job site
- realtime fixture monitoring directly from the controller (coming soon!)
