When coupled with an external touch screen, software based control systems provide instant access to color palates, gobo, position, and beam presets and a host of powerful effects.” As touchscreens become more and more accurate and more tablets, such as the Microsoft Surface, combine precise pen and touch control, churches now have affordable access to a level of control that previously was only available via high-priced consoles. Lighting Inc., adds, “Software-based control systems that run on today’s affordable laptops and tablets require only a small foot-print in the control booth.
“For smaller rigs that do not require intensive, hands-on live programming, software-based solutions can provide users access to a full set of features-cueing, presets, effects, advanced color control, configurable graphic user interfaces, and digital remote-control-without being tied to expensive or space-consuming hardware.”įred Mikeska, vice president of U.S. “For smaller rigs that do not require intensive, hands-on live programming, software-based solutions can provide users access to a full set of features-cueing, presets, effects, advanced color control, configurable graphic user interfaces, and digital remote-control-without being tied to expensive or space-consuming hardware.” “Software-only systems can provide high-level control options at an entry-level price,” states Bryan Palmer, architectural market manager for Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC). And with this rate of adoption has come increased options and competition in the software lighting controller market. Since the introduction of the Jands Vista software controller in 2005, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the adoption of software-only lighting control systems in houses of worship that require, at most, a DMX output adapter. While there’s been a few software-only lighting control solutions for quite a while, it was unusual to encounter installations that used them.
Controlling a lighting rig was once the sole purview of physical lighting consoles.
