K2 from Kinesys is an entirely new piece of software from this innovative motion control specialist. In essence, K2 looks at moving objects as a whole, rather than as an abstract lifted and moved by multiple hoists - making the whole movement programming process much simpler. Create an object on screen, drag it to the desired new/next position (a process that can be viewed and worked in 2D or 3D) and then the software will calculate the movements needed by each of the lifting devices. Once a sequence has been completed the programmer can run it on screen and if it looks as desired, the data will then transfer to run actual hoists.

An added bonus of this software is its flexibility: if, for example, a designer adds extra equipment to an object - such as more lights to a truss structure - which may require the addition of an extra hoist to cope with the increased weight, the programmer draws the new hoist in position via the software (and repositions the existing hoists on the object) and the software re-plots all the hoist control data to conform to the original programmed movements.

Programmed moves can be viewed on screen from any height and angle through 360°, ideal for pre-plotting camera views for a TV show. Kinesys also offers a control console for operators who prefer a dedicated 'desk type' operation.
