Focus Mate 2 vs shift

Ever find yourself without a programmer at the console during focus? Don't want to take your phone out when you're up a ladder or halfway along a catwalk? Focus Mate lets you drive the desk with your voice — from your iPhone, or straight from your Apple Watch. You can dictate full sentences, like you would to an assistant, and Focus Mate will do its best to execute what you dictate. Example phrases include: "123 and 126 at 50" will do what you expect "Group 6 by themselves" will execute 'Group 6 RemDim" "201 through 206 minus 204 home" will put all those channels back to their home preset. For convenience, also included is a keypad remote for iPhone, for when speaking isn't easier.

An essential new tool for Lighting Designers and Electricians Shift-Label allows you to monitor the progress of your show on an eos family console - observe the pending and active cue and annotate any cue you wish. Key features include (note that some features require an in app purchase): - Connect to any Eos family console with minimal setup - Monitor details of all cues in any cue list, viewing labels, times and other attributes - divided by scene if required - Follow along with the current cue - Add multiple notes to cues, tagging notes with categories such as "Plotting", "Cueing" or "Focus" - all tags are user definable - View live streaming channel levels directly on your device (uses sACN) - Review all notes, or filter them down by taf - Mark notes as completed, or 'sleep' notes for a set time period to revisit later - Maintain separate sets of notes for different shows (great for when working in rep, or revisiting an old production) - Keeps cue details cached on device, allowing you to review details of the show and your notes when not at the console - On iPad run app in "split view" so you can monitor your show while using another app (such as safari or reading a pdf) - Jump directly to a cue on the console from a note - Edit the console label and notes fields directly from your iPad - Keypad control for basic channel manipulation from within app - Apple Watch app - monitor your console's current cue on your wrist! Note that for the watch app to function it must be paired with an iPhone with Shift-Label active and open, I suggest enabling "stop device from sleeping" in shift-label's settings Note that Shift-Label is not an official ETC product and is not authorised or endorsed by ETC in any way. ETC technical support will have no knowledge of the app
