Read full description

Wily! is a virtual control surface for controlling the lighting software PREGO (E.GO Controls) and HATHOR (ADB). Wily! synthesizes the characteristic accesses of the lighting consoles (hardwares) with the feedback of the softwares. Wily! had been designed to allow the light creation process to be uninterrupted and collegial. It is possible to work together, from several places simultaneously on one or several PREGO or HATHOR stations. Its simplicity of handling makes it a tool for all. It will give the necessary feedback to the lighting engineers, allowing them to intervene on their light in symbiosis with the showroom and electricians. Efficient and indispensable, you will appreciate it as well in creation, operation or on tour. Characteristics : - easy handling - modularity (each additional iPad multiplies the amount of accesses) - wired or wireless operation - personalization options per user - "console" mode or "client" mode - secure connection - allows to extend the accesses of compatible consoles PREGO + HATHOR - Ergonomics designed for main console use - ideal as backup, complement, tour, feedback, preparation ... - multi-iPad work simultaneously (independent or coupled) - plug'n'play - full access to playback registers (playbacks, fields, independents, playback master, Grand master ...) - control of moving lights - full access to all types of records - Channels information throughout the pipe - calibration of color changers with copy functions - full access to patch - and many others !
