Technical Characteristics and Features
- User defined programming methods including timeline, list or cell based. Clients navigate and program via method most familiar to them.
- Cue Designer - allows the programmer to layout multiple moves, triggers and commands for each axis across a visual timeline.
- View Only - design and production teams can monitor automation moves and navigate through the show without the operator using this customizable application.
- Status Pages - allow users to create show specific displays to monitor over 30,000 pieces of essential data providing the ability to quickly identify and resolve any issues.
- Macros - allow the user to assign a series of keystrokes and software navigation to a single button press.
- Data Logging - allows the user to easily identify flaws in physical components of machinery and receive real time feedback when balancing motor loads.
- Robust Network – high-speed direct communication to the processor, while isolating the control network, allows data monitoring and feedback at rates of up to 100 times a second.
- Posi-Stage Net interfaces - allows other disciplines, such as lighting or video, to receive data in their preferred way, including combing multiple axes into single objects, reducing the amount of configuration needed to map positions to preferred orientations.
