For use with Eos® lighting consoles. Use any moving light in your rig as a followspot! Sometimes it’s just not possible to have a dedicated followspot for your show, but you might well have moving lights in your rig which are more than up to the job.  It’s possible to follow a performer onstage using multiple cues and timings in the cue stack , but that doesn’t allow for any flexibility in performance, or for the rare occasions a performer makes a mistake! It’s often not feasible for the lighting operator to manually track performers with moving lights using the console, either as they are too busy running the show, or their line of sight to the stage is not great. The Eos® software, superb as it is, might not be ideally suited to the live operation of moving lights as manual followspots. Enter LightFinger… select the channel you want to control and your screen accurately maps the moving light on stage to the screen. You can control intensity and beam position with the app or simultaneously through the console. For show safety, Eos® can enable and disable control of LightFinger, and select the correct channel to be used. Use with a wifi connection, or (for greater peace of mind) ethernet, with an appropriate connector. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 7 Credits | $11.99 | one-time | | 1 Credit | $1.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.3.1 — 2023-02-22 A quick bug fix for console selection. Fixed the ability to pan and zoom around a pdf plan. ### 1.3.0 — 2022-03-30 It's a pretty big update, with the top two most requested features implemented! You can now select multiple moving lights to control with the touch target, these can be selected either using the channel selection screen, or via the lighting console using an osc command, for example: /lightfinger/selectchannels/1/7/20 You now have the ability to import a ground plan or lighting plan from a PDF. You drag and scale to up the view to give a far more precise feel of where you are aiming your spots! Change the stage width and stage height to match the scale of your drawing. Import from the iPad or macOS file system or your iCloud account. Overall the UI has been given a fresh lick of paint and a few more curved edges. The demo time has been doubled to 20 minutes per session. I've worked on making things more responsive even on older hardware. A few bugs have been squashed. Please do let me know how you get on with the app. ### 1.2 — 2022-01-07 Better networking with ethernet! With the appropriate adaptor - connect your iPad to the Eos® network over ethernet.. this provides peace of mind in an environment where you really need a solid connection! Updated user Interface.. Now showing the current show file loaded, the current Eos® console version that LightFinger is connected to, and a warning if the console is running a version that LightFinger is not compatible with (any version lower than 3.0.0). LightFinger can switch between Metric and Imperial measurements - this is independent of the console settings. LightFinger should now see Eos® devices on the local network to connect with, but also offers direct selection via a known IP. Also added is an option for LightFinger to speak the latest cue triggered on the console.. In the case of a comms failure with stage management or the console operator, the LightFinger user would at least be able to hear which cue number has just been fired..This feature could also be handy if you want to take notes during a performance. ### 1.1.1 — 2021-10-08 Just a little update for the new iPad Minis... Working hard behind the scenes for new features! ### 1.1.0 — 2021-08-17 Added option to use feet instead of metres.
