Your LED screen pre-production just got easier. RasterLab is an LED screen based configuration and pre-production app designed for users of different levels from producers to technical directors needing a high-level or quick reference for LED screen management, to LED technicians and engineers who need to dig down into the details of building a live show fast and reliably. And the best part, both of these users can interact! A producer can share their project with an engineer, and through background magic, will be nearly show site ready. RasterLab is able to quickly provide you with highly detailed, uniquely shaped screens that might be more than simple rectangles. RasterLab also will (based on your products, processing, configuration styles) auto-generate detailed stats such as resolutions, weight estimates, power draws, wiring diagrams, equipment lists, and of course grids nearly instantly. Exports allow easy interactions with media content creation (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Affects), Anomes Millumin and Resolume Arena configuration, and the recently introduced Analogy Way LivePremier configuration with one button (desktop version only).
