1Overview

This “Quick Start Guide” provides basic information on

patching, controlling intensity, colour & position,

creating a simple animation plus recording and

playback. Training videos plus the “Mantra Operation

Manual” containing full descriptions of all functions are

available at: mantralite.lsclighting.com

Mantra comes with a “Demo” show pre-loaded so that

you can familiarise yourself with the controls before

patching your own fixtures. If you don’t need the

demo show and want to patch your own fixtures now

go straight to section 20.

Mantra can control up to 24 lighting fixtures. The

fixtures that you control might be……

A conventional lighting dimmer.

A multi-colour LED fixture.

A multi-colour fixture with additional controls for

pan and tilt and/or beam shapes.

Each fixture is patched to a Yellow fader and button.

2Help

Context sensitive help is available on the touch screen

for many functions of the Mantra. Tap the button

to open the help screen. Tap to close.

3Undo

To quickly undo the last action double tap .

To undo more than one action tap once to see the

list of your actions.

Touch Undo to undo an action and step down the list.

Touch Redo to redo an action and step up the list.

Tap the [Back] button to finish.

Note: The undo list is automatically cleared whenever

you save your show, start a new show or load an

existing show.

4Getting Connected

4.1 Power Input

Two models of MantraLite are available:

The MANTRA/LT has an IEC mains input (90

volts to 260 volts).

The MANTRA/LT/E has 12 volt DC power input.

An external mains power pack is supplied.

4.2 DMX 512 Output

Connect a DMX data cable from the DMX512 output

(one universe of 512 channels) to the DMX512 input of

your first fixture (dimmer, LED or Mover) and loop to

the next fixture/s. Only use specific DMX cable (never

use audio cable) and always terminate the end of the

DMX line. Set the required DMX addresses on your

equipment. Patch each fixture to a yellow fixture

fader. See section 20 for more details on patching.

4.3 Ethernet Network Connector

The RJ45 Ethernet connector can be used to output

Streaming ACN (sACN) and ArtNet. These are lighting

control protocols that send DMX lighting data over a

network or to a lighting visualiser program running on

a computer. It can also be used to connect the

MantraLite to the internet to upload custom fixture

templates. See the “Mantra Operator Manual” at

mantralite.lsclighting.com for details.

4.4 USB Connectors

The two USB connectors can be used to connect:

A USB keyboard.

A memory stick for show backup and software

upgrades.

A USB LED desk lamp (up to 250mA).

5Front Panel

The 24 Yellow fixture faders control fixture intensity.

Moving a fixture fader automatically selects that

fixture allowing its other parameters such as colour or

position to be controlled by Apps on the touch screen.

Moving a fader to zero deselects the fixture.

The Yellow “Fixture Master” has overall intensity

control of the yellow fixture faders.

The current output can be recorded into any of the Red

playbacks by tapping [Record] then tapping a Red

playback button of your choice [1-10].

the [Back] button steps back through the screens

to the “Home” screen.

screen from any screen.

The “Home” screen is divided into two sections:

The top section (yellow border) has fixture icons

that show the intensity, colour and position (if

applicable) of the patched fixtures.

The bottom section shows the contents of the

red Playbacks.

is shown on the screen above each button. You can

tap the button or touch the screen to operate them.

Touching anywhere in the top “fixtures section” of the

“Home” screen or touching Apps opens the “Apps”

screen. Apps are used to control the parameters of

selected fixtures. Move a yellow fader to automatically

select that fixture. Use an App to adjust the

parameter. Other methods of selecting fixtures are

described in section 9.

The bottom section of the “Home” screen has Playback

icons showing the contents of each Playback (if any).

Touching any playback icon to modify it. See 16.2

7Controlling Fixture Intensity

The 24 (yellow) fixture faders (under the overall control

of the yellow fixture master) control the intensity of the

fixtures that are patched to them. To see the output of

a fixture:

Fade up the Yellow Master.

Fade up a fixture fader to set its Intensity.

7.1 Flash

When the touch screen is on the “Home” screen, the

buttons below the yellow faders act as intensity

[FLASH] buttons. You can set the flash intensity level

in the Tools/Setup screen.

If a red fader contains a single cue then its button acts

as intensity [FLASH] button.

If a red fader contains a cue-list then its button “steps”

the cue-list. See section 16.

8Controlling Fixture Parameters

Mantra uses “Apps” on the touch screen to control the

parameters of selected fixtures. From the “Home”

screen, open the “Apps” page by touching anywhere in

the top half of the touch screen or touching Apps.

Apps Screen

There are 4 columns that have Apps for their type of

parameter:

Intensity, Colour, Pan/Tilt, Other.

Touch the App for the parameter that you want to

control.

9Selecting Fixtures

When you use an App, you need to select the fixtures

that you want to control with that App. Fixtures that

have attributes that can be controlled by the selected

App will flash their buttons indicating that they are

available for selection. When a fixture is selected its

button is lit. Multiple fixtures can be selected at the

same time. Fixtures can be selected using several

methods:

Move a yellow fader to automatically select that

fixture. Move the fader to zero to de-select it.

Tap the button below a yellow fader to select

that fixture. Tap again to deselect it.
