Abstract
A mixer carriage for an audio, video and/or lighting control console contains a tray body with a tray surface and a coupler for movable coupling to the audio and/or video and/or lighting control console, so that the mixer carriage is moveable relative to a user interface of the audio, video and/or lighting control console. The tray body has at least one lighting device on it for illuminating the tray surface.
Claims17
A mixer carriage for a control console selected from the group consisting of an audio control console, a video control console, a lighting control console, an audio-video control console, an audio-lighting control console, a video-lighting control console and an audio-video-lighting control console, the control console having a proximal side and an opposite distal side, and the proximal side faces a user of the mixer carriage, the mixer carriage comprising:
- a tray body having a tray surface and a distal lateral edge;
- a coupler for a movable coupling with the control console so that the mixer carriage is moveable relative to a user interface of the control console such that said distal lateral edge of said tray body faces the distal side of the control console;
- at least one lighting device disposed on said tray body for illuminating said tray surface, said at least one lighting device is coupled to said distal lateral edge and extending completely above said tray body;
- and
- at least one enemy coupling means selected from the group consisting of sliding contacts and induction systems for receiving enemy in a contactless manner from an alternating magnetic field.
A piece of control equipment selected from the group consisting of audio control equipment, video control equipment, lighting control equipment, audio-video control equipment, audio-lighting control equipment, video-lighting control equipment and audio-video-lighting control equipment, the piece of control equipment comprising:
- a control console selected from the group consisting of an audio control console, a video control console, a lighting control console, an audio-video control console, an audio-lighting control console, a video-lighting control console and an audio-video-lighting control console, said control console having a user interface with a distal side and an opposite proximal side facing a user interacting with the user interface;
- a mixer carriage having a tray body with a tray surface and a distal lateral edge and a coupler, said mixer carriage being couplable or coupled with the said control console by means of said coupler, so that said mixer carriage is moveable relative to said user interface of said control console and that said distal lateral edge of said tray body faces said distal side of said user interface;
- at least one lighting device disposed on said tray body for illuminating said tray surface, said at least one lighting device is coupled to said distal lateral edge and extending completely above said tray body;
- and
- at least one energy coupling means selected from the group consisting of sliding contacts and induction systems for receiving energy in a contactless manner from an alternating magnetic field.
