Visual Productions has "decided to allow their future generation of lighting control software to be led by the current market developments in lighting: namely LED technology". Canvix has been designed for the exclusive use with LED matrixes.
Working with the established hardware available from Visual Productions, Canvix tackles the control of matrixes with "a unique concept": instead of controlling the LEDs individually, Canvix bundles together all fixtures to form one whole canvas; a 2-dimensional area on which effects and graphics can be applied. This powerful approach allows for sophisticated video-alike visuals, as well as fast pixel painting for the easy creation of graphics, says the company.
By reusing control concepts from traditional lighting boards and media servers, Canvix is designed with an advanced graphical user interface that will "immediately make you feel at home". For full compatibility with traditional controllers Canvix features a DMX Input and is supplied with personality files for all popular lighting desks.
