## What is s?

Turn your device into a realistic, cueable,  sACN-controlled media Phone!

s-HOW is an advanced sACN-controlled media manipulation app that transforms your device into a powerhouse for stage and film production. Seamlessly integrate your phone with any sACN device to precisely control backlight settings and adjust media opacity for both images and videos. Whether you're resetting visuals on the fly or delivering dynamic media presentations, s-HOW makes media control effortless and performance-ready for film and TV.

Key Features:

sACN Control Made Simple: Assign a Universe (1–65279) and DMX Address (1–509) to control your device just like any other fixture in your lighting setup.
Real-Time Backlight Adjustment: Use sACN to control the screen's backlight brightness, simulating realistic light effects or phone on/off.
Real-Time Media Manipulation: Use sACN to control the opacity of photos and videos allowing easy reset or dynamic control of content.
Easy Integration: Connect your device to the same production Wi-Fi network as your sACN enabled lighting device and start controlling instantly.
Patch your device based on the instructions inside the app to stay up to date on best compatibility. 
Clean, Intuitive Interface: Simple controls and clear instructions make it easy to set up and use, even in high-pressure environments.

How It Works:

Patch Your Device: Add the device to your lighting board (sACN Controller) based on the guide in the app
Connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure your device and sACN enabled lighting device are on the same production Wi-Fi network.
Configure DMX Settings: Assign the correct Universe and DMX Address directly in the app.
Select the media: Select Media from your device's camera roll.
Enable sHOW: Toggle on sHOW and watch the magic happen!

NOTE: This app only listens over wifi for sACN- it will not work with any other lighting protocols.
