This library is regularly updated to stay current with new fixture releases. If the light you are using is not included, it is easy to add and configure new ones.
With Editor > Steps you can create dynamic scenes. The screen manages:
pan/tilt movements
colors, gobos, ...
trychromie
time and fade mode
fixtures grouping
etc
The screen looks similar to a -regular fader lighting desk", but with the advantnge of special functions like copy, paste, insert, color pallet, etc..

In Generator, you can build complex lighting scenes within a few mouse clicks, it can handle pan/tilt movements, colors, gobo and effects, for a group of moving lights, with delay effects.
With Pixels it's easy to create chaser, rainbow, text effects or upload GIFs to use as template for your animated pixel show. Just add your devices with the correct horizontal and vertical pixels assign the color range and position on screen like the real setup. Pixels will do all calculations and generate all DMX values.
In Live, you can play and customize the show depending of your needs (pages, buttons, presets). Buttons can be made for colors, effects movements but can also trigger a complete light scene or timeline multimedia file. While operating in live it's possible to overrule with the Editor.

The interfaces and 19" Rack can also operate lights in stand-alone mode. With the StandAlone view you can download dynamic scenes into the interface. Depending on the model, it is possible to store from 1 to 14 dynamic scenes for later recall without the need of a computer. The scenes can be swapped or added together. This system is not only ideal for backup during big shows, but also to run standalone installations where simple use is important, like exhibitions and architectural lighting, ..
