    One Control to Rule Them All

    Would ArKaos Media Master be suitable for your projections? I'm not sure how the features compare to the Isadora software, but a small theater I work with has used it to sync their projectors, audio cues and lighting cues, all triggered using the space bar to step through the lighting cues...

    Does anyone use QLAB and Arkaos media master together?

    You can also use ArKoas to play both the audio and the video clips and take QLab out of the picture. If you're triggering your lighting using DMX, why bother to use a second protocol (i.e. MIDI)?

    Control/Dimming ETC Element 3D offline show programing

    If you can work with a single universe, Argo Solo is only $395. If you can fund it, you'll be better off in the long run. In addition to the limited library, the file format that the shows are saved in are different in the Student version than in the 'paid' versions so anything you do in the...

    Control/Dimming Converting DMX to Micro-Plex

    I did a quick check of the data sheets for the DS3695N/NOPB, the SN75176BP and the MAX485CPA+ chips on the Mouser site and they all appear to be "RS-422/RS-485 Interface IC" chips with the same pinouts. The manufacturers just are using their own part numbering. I use the SN75176 but I've also...

    How do I begin getting into Previsualization software?

    I second Judge's reccomendation for Capture Polar. The free Student Edition will let you become familiar with how to use the software and let's you save your work, before you need to make a purchase. If you exhaust the Student Edition's capabilities, you can download the full version and run...

    Desk and Software Pre Plot Solution?

    You might want to look at Capture Polar from Capture Sweden. They now offer a free Student Edition that lets you use a 'limited' library of fixtures to become familiar with how to use the software. While I'm familiar using it with our BlueLite X1 software/hardware, they now have a page with...

    Control/Dimming DMX Control Software/iOS

    Take a look at the BlueLite X1 system, particularly the 'Live Panel' screen. You can use the four X/Y crossfader pairs and assign your 'cues' to chases or sequences for playback. You can control any DMX equipment including your moving lights and lasers, as well as DMX controlled video servers...
