Consistent
with the MA Lighting philosophy of continual improvement, the dot2 lighting
console software has just received a significant upgrade. Based on real dot2
user feedback, this version 1.2 update is available as a free download from http://www.ma-dot2.com
Intuitive
operation is the core of the dot2 philosophy and with a comprehensive set of
connectivity hardware on all console models, the dot2 range is suitable for
most theatre, touring, corporate, television and education lighting
environments. The easy to operate dot2 software is available in multiple
languages and provides on-board Help and Direct Hints to guide a new user to
operate the console to its full potential. A full range of clever programming
and playback features provide intuitive access to advanced functionality.
The new
version 1.2 software includes many workflow refinements ensuring the dot2
remains a powerful, versatile and intuitive lighting console.
New
features include:
•
Customizable fixture Layout views
•
Multi-patch fixture functionality
•
Additional playback options
•
Fully assignable DMX ports
•
Auto Backup
•
Fader position identification
•
Remote inputs with pages
•
Programmer view extended
•
Effects representation
With 5
customisable layout views the user is now able to create a visual
representation of the fixture arrangement on stage. The multi-patch fixture
functionality works for the DMX patch inside the console as well as the
representation of fixtures in the dot2 3D. The improved executor operation
allows much easier content sharing between the main and the other executors as
well as all executors have additional “swop” and “temp fader” functionality.
All DMX ports on all devices can be assigned to any of the DMX universes
patched inside the console and the Auto Backup functionality allows the user to
set a timer to automatically Backup operation of the showfile. If the real
position of a hardware fader differs from its logical position, a small fader
bar is displayed to show the logical \”should be\” position. Remote
inputs can be assigned to specific pages and the programmer view shows effect
values in red now as well. Additionally all fixtures and presets that are
containing effect values are marked with a magenta marker.
There are
even more enhancements in this new software release! Like export functionality
for fixture types or conventional fixtures with shapers inside dot2 3D and so
on
