=== Moving light controllers ===
Moving Light Controllers are another step up in sophistication from Memory Consoles. As well as being capable of controlling ordinary luminares via dimmers, they provide additional controls for [[Intelligent lighting|intelligent fixtures]]. On midrange controllers, these are usually provided as a section separate from main Preset and Cue stack controls. These include an array of buttons allowing the operator to select the fixture or fixtures they want to control, and a [[joystick]], or a number of wheels or [[rotary encoder]]s to control fixture attributes such as the orientation (pan and tilt), focus, colour, gobos etc. found in this type of light. Unlike a fader that shows its value based on the position of a slider, a wheel is continuously variable and provides no visual feedback for the value of a particular control. Some form of display such as [[Liquid crystal display|LCD]] or [[light-emitting diode|LED]] is therefore vital for displaying this information. The more advanced desks typically have one or more touchscreens, and present a [[graphical user interface|GUI]] that integrates all the aspects of the lighting.
