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.

If there are buttons on more than one page, tabs are displayed to allow you to switch pages. β€’ Macro execution. Web API only allows the execution of certain macros, specifically those that do not include the pressing of buttons on the user interface. β€’ Connected playback control. It allows you to connect to a playback and control it, as well as view the list of cues and the cue currently running. β€’ Programmer's keyboard. β€’ Automatic refresh of the show.
