やまと興業製のBluetooth制御ペンライト「チアライトAir」用のアプリです。 複数のチアライトAirをiPhoneからワイヤレスに一斉制御することができます。 複数のチアライトAirに1から16のチャンネルを割り当て、それぞれのチャンネル対して色設定が行えます。 制御できるチアライトAIrの本数は無制限です。 「カラーチェンジ」画面では、ライブ会場中のチアライトの色を一斉に変更したり、16のブロックに分け、それぞれチャンネルに割り当てることで、16の色セットを瞬時に切り替えることができます。 これにより、客席全体で模様を描いたりすることも可能となります。 「ウェーブ」は右から左へ、左から右へなど、チアライトAirを使って簡単に光のウェーブを生成することができます。 「シーケンス」では16チャンネルの色の組み合わせを16ステップまで自由に作成することができるため、より高度なウェーブや発光パターンが可能となります。
