ADJ to distribute Compu Show control software
- Details
ADJ USA’s national sales manager, Alfred Gonzales, explains: “As ADJ’s fixtures have evolved, we felt it was important to grow our DMX software line as well. Our existing myDMX control software has been a very successful product worldwide for ten years, but we felt we needed to offer something with more power and possibilities. Compu Show is a proven system that offers lighting designers powerful features and flexible control options to allow them to make the most of their lighting rigs and fully realize their creative vision.”
Compu Show is an advanced DMX control software application for PC, that is designed for programming and controlling large rigs of moving heads and other professional entertainment lighting fixtures from a PC. It is suitable for a wide range of applications including nightclubs and lounges, churches, concert tours, festivals and other big one-off events.
The software offers a large library of over 10,000 fixture profiles as well as a tool for easily creating custom profiles. It also features live Midi to control the software functions from a hardware desk such as the Elation Professional Midicon 2, a unique ‘pages’ concept where each fixture type has its own page which is built automatically depending on its attributes and features. Quick access switches are included to call presets such as colour and GOBO, while dynamic moving and colour-changing effects are generated automatically, allowing quick control of lighting fixtures without the need to programme anything.
A powerful 3D visualization module, 3D Easy View, is also integrated into the Compu Show software. This allows a lighting rig to be mapped out digitally, to allow pre-programming to be carried out before the system is connected to any actual lights. Basic objects and truss structures can simply be dragged and dropped into place, while lighting fixtures are instantly added as soon as their profiles are loaded into the Compu Show software.
ADJ’s Compu Show is available in three different versions, on a sliding pricing scale, which makes it accessible to users at different levels and with different budgets. Each version is supplied with a different interface, with the more advanced interfaces unlocking more powerful features within the Compu Show software.
