Smart Follow Spot

Smart Follow Spot turns the moving heads you already have into a precise follow spot. Watch the stage on your iPad or iPhone and follow the performer with your finger. The beam goes where you point. No proprietary hardware. No vendor lock-in. If a fixture has pan and tilt and speaks DMX, Smart Follow Spot can drive it. HOW IT WORKS • Calibrate each fixture against the stage corners in about 60 seconds. From then on, every fixture knows where the stage is. • Follow the performer by dragging on a live camera view or on a 2D or 3D stage plan. • Several fixtures can follow the same point at once, each one aimed correctly from its own position. BUILT FOR LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS • Output over Art-Net and sACN (E1.31), or DMX512 through any Art-Net or sACN node • Works alongside your lighting console • Fixture profiles from the GDTF library • Live video from NDI cameras, or use a spare iPhone as the camera • Stage levels editor for raised platforms, heights and stairs • Zoom calibration and a beam pointer for accurate setup • MIDI controllers over Bluetooth and RTP-MIDI • Move settings between devices with a QR code, or save the whole setup as a project file FAST SETUP A setup wizard takes you from an empty stage to a working follow spot. Average setup time for any stage is about 10 minutes. FREE MODE FOR PREPARING PROJECTS Every feature is available without registration or an account, so you can prepare a whole project. In Free mode, DMX output pauses for 10 seconds every minute. For live shows, sign in with your Smart Follow Spot account.
