The Sapphire 2000 is a powerful, streamlined,
stylish console offering 2,048 channels and 100 pages of 20 playbacks.
It also offers electronic legending, showing page contents and preset
focus palette on both desk and VGA monitor.
Sapphire 2000 represents the third generation of Rolacue consoles.
The console comes with a hundred pre-programmed moving light effects
via the Avolites Shape Generator. This phenomenally powerful function
makes complex movement, colour and gobo patterns immediately available
to moving light programmers. The once characteristic roller is
now replaced with high-resolution graphic displays. Sapphire 2000
is presented in a modern re-styled, sleek format for the 21st
Century.
Sapphire 2000 has the ability to control hundreds of multi-parameter
fixtures and DMX effects. Another powerful, new and unique feature
of Sapphire 2000 is the Electronic Palette, offering 200 entries
containing colours, positions, gobos, etc., all with their names
electronically displayed. The 120 fixture select groups allows
the programmer to instantly select moving light fixture groups,
e.g. 'Front truss scans', 'back truss', 'all odd', 'all even',
etc.
The console also has an integral Graphic Tablet, neatly tucked
away in an internal drawer, enabling all the benefits of the much
acclaimed Avolites Tracking System. Furthermore, Sapphire 2000
preserves the hands-on abilities and tactile modus operandi on
which the Avolites reputation has been built.

One hundred preset faders offer instant dimmer and fixture access,
each with its own Add and Swop buttons. Twenty playbacks have
the benefit of electronic labeling which display playback contents
and timefade stack cue numbers. Playbacks also have the ability,
via a dedicated button, to pre-load a state before the fader is
raised and the intensity activated.
The Sapphire 2000 offers comprehensive theatre plotting and playback.
The combination of the three playback faders gives easy hands-on
control of fade-in, fade-out and LTP fades. These fades can then
be triggered individually or using a common 'Go' button. Manual
override is possible at any time by moving the fader.
Sapphire 2000 is fully integrated with the Avolites Focus Finder
and stage Visualiser.
Offering the most powerful creative programming tools to modern
lighting designers, Sapphire 2000 remains simple, intuitive and
familiar to operate.
