FidoLED vs Unrival

FidoLED is a LED Screen calculator. Dial up the manufacturer, the model and then enter the size you want in Modules (tiles), Pixels, Metres, MM, Inches or feet and it will return to you the number of pixels for the given screen, the width, height and weight of the screen plus the power draw for the screen. It will also generate a print out of the information as well as generate grids of the led screen in pixels for helping to make pixel mapped content, you can spit out just the actual screen in pixels, or set on a standard video canvas with or without a pixel shift offset, or as a photoshop script file so that you can modify it in photoshop for the more creative screens. FidoLED was originally written for the PM's and Techs of Creative Technology (CT) the Database is very heavy on CT owned tiles. There is a small CT Logo in a red circle to the right of the make and model selection - to see every tile in the database just tap the CT Logo so that its crossed out and you will see all the tiles in the database, to see only the CT Owned tiles tap the CT logo again and it will filter the database to tiles owned by them I can add ANY make and model of tile VERY QUICKLY to the database, the majority of the time I am on PST so depending on when a request email is received, turn around time can be very quick and i will email you back when the database has been updated. Tap on the FidoLED logo on the main page and you will be presented with a form where you can fill in the information asking me to add the LED make and model you want. As more makes and models are added to the Database I will send a notification message (Push Notification) to let you know the is a database update for the app. If FidoLED is in use at the time it will grab the database automatically, if its not then just select the notification message and it will open FidoLED and update the Database. You can also manually update to the most current Database by taping on the Database Update button on the bottom left of the main screen (the second icon to the left) If you have any questions or comments about this application please feel free to email me Darren@fidoLED.com

UNRIVAL is the professional iPhone app for preparing, patching, and maintaining entertainment lighting fixtures. Adjust DMX addresses, modes, personalities, network settings, IDs, and other parameters directly from your phone — no fixture display, no buttons, and in supported cases, no power applied. In practice, that means a prep tech can configure fixtures on the shelf, on the truss before flying, or sitting on top of a roadcase — and turn over a full rig before the first power cable is ever pulled. (NFC requires the phone to be close to the fixture's tag; it will not read through a closed roadcase.) KEY FEATURES • Easy patch/edit of any setting — direct access to fixture settings without the fixture's display or buttons. Change DMX address, mode, personality, network settings, IDs, and other parameters from the app. • Templates & Auto Prep — save known-good fixture configurations and apply them consistently across many fixtures. Auto Prep automatically applies saved templates as you work through a batch. • Rapid Patching from imported patch lists — bring in show data from ChamSys CSV, ChamSys QR Code, and MVR. For non-Chauvet NFC-enabled fixtures, the imported list also works as an easy-to-use manual patching checklist. • Operate and prepare fixtures while powered OFF — read fixture identity, review configuration, and prepare or apply supported settings with no power applied. A unique advantage over display-only or powered-only setup methods. Useful on the prep shelf, on the truss before flying, on top of a roadcase, and during pre-rig. • Firmware Update over Bluetooth — wireless firmware updates from your iPhone over BLE. No specialist cables or service tools required. ALSO INCLUDES • Fixture diagnostics — usage data and error history for faster troubleshooting and clearer maintenance records. • Scan History — a record of previous fixture interactions for traceability and less duplicated work. • Quick Tools — one-tap "Auto Test" and "Reset Defaults" for routine procedures. • MVR 2D & 3D visualizer — visual representation of fixtures inside a project or rig layout from MVR data; aids fixture identification on complex rigs. • Trip Management — organize fixtures and setup activity around specific jobs, projects, or deployments. Supports rental, touring, and install workflows. BUILT FOR Rental prep floors. Touring lighting crews. Install integrators. Service and maintenance teams.
