City Theatrical DMXcat goes multi-lingual
- Details
Based on the user’s smartphone language settings, the suite of mobile applications will automatically update its written content to Spanish, French, German, Italian, Korean, Japanese, or English, if the others are not selected. Translations are now live for iPhone, Android, and Amazon Fire.
City Theatrical‘s DMXcat Multifunction Test Tool makes it easy for anyone to control, analyse, or test any DMX lighting fixture, whether it’s a simple LED PAR or a complex moving light. The system consists of a small hardware dongle and a suite of mobile applications that bring wireless DMX and RDM control and other useful functions to the user’s smartphone.
The DMXcat utilises a database of over 100 worldwide lighting manufacturers and thousands of lighting fixtures and their personalities, just like a sophisticated lighting console. The user can choose a fixture from the database and gain control through a user interface on their phone, which emulates a lighting console with encoder wheels labeled to match the personality of the lighting fixture being used.
DMXcat is the winner of the Lighting Product of the Year award at the ABTT Theatre Show in London, the Live Design Lighting Product of the Year award from Live Design Magazine, and the PLASA 2017 Award for Innovation.
