Make focus sessions a breeze! Keep track of what you have, and haven't focused. See what's left to do at a glance. No more missed units in busy rigs! End plan highlighter misery! Use the built in remote to bring up channels without having to check your lighting plan all the time! Import your rig data from your lighting plan, or make new rig data in the app. LightChannel sorts the rig by position, channel and unit number. LightChannel connects to Eos Lighting Consoles and acts as a handy super-simple remote (which also has a background mode so you can focus whilst allowing the programmer to get on with setup). LightChannel gives you at a glance information about each channel, what gel is needed, dimmer number, focus notes all on the same screen as the remote functions.. going to the next channel on the bar/pipe is as simple as hitting the arrow key! LightChannel is also great for error-checking your lighting plan pre-focus, simply import your data and you're good to go! ..and your LightChannel data backs up, and syncs across your devices if you use an iCloud account!

Unofficial remote control for Avolites Titan lighting consoles and T2/T3 USB interfaces using the Web API. Supports all Web API versions from v12.x through v19.x (inclusive), including every intermediate version. Communication between the app and the consoles is carried out using the Web API that Avolites makes available to programmers for application development. This app allows you to control the following functions of Avolites consoles: β€’ Attribute wheels. Allows you to modify the various attributes of the selected fixtures. β€’ Record palettes and cues.

Images and texts of buttons are automatically downloaded, and the status of the selections is always displayed. If there are buttons on more than one page, tabs are displayed to allow you to switch pages. β€’ Macro execution.
