From Avolites, the brand continues to consolidate its technological evolution with a clear focus: full integration between lighting and video within a single control system. In this new stage, the Titan ecosystem is positioned as the operational core of a platform that seeks to simplify workflows and expand creative possibilities in show design.
This launch takes place at a key moment for the company, which celebrates 50 years of trajectory in the industry. Five decades in which Avolites has accompanied the evolution of lighting control, and which today finds in the integration between video and lighting a new stage. More than a technological update, the D3 series and the Synergy ecosystem reflect a consolidated vision: increasingly connected, agile systems aligned with the real demands of contemporary entertainment.
In this context, the company presented how its system allows unifying operations that were traditionally handled separately. Francisco Yañez was responsible for explaining in detail this integration logic: “We are presenting, of course, our system integration… the console connects with an Avolites video system, where we have two softwares: AI and Prisma,” he commented, introducing the concept behind the system.
The key lies in the Synergy protocol, which directly connects the video environment with the Titan console, allowing multimedia content to be treated as just another element within the lighting system. “These systems connect through Synergy to the Titan console, where all the media content on the video server can be controlled as if it were a fixture,” explained Yañez.
In practice, this integration translates into a more intuitive and direct operation. During the demonstration, the system allowed modifying video content from the console using the same logic applied when working with fixtures. “If I wanted to change the video, I simply go to the gobo section of the video on the console, select another one, and the result changes, and the response of the fixtures also changes,” he detailed.
One of the most notable aspects of the system is its efficiency in resource usage. “This process is very, very stable and does not depend on any DMX channel… all the universes of the console remain available for fixtures and the connectivity with video is, in quotes, free,” he stated, highlighting a key difference compared to other integration methods.
Additionally, all the information can be directly integrated into the show programming workflow. “The integration is complete and all the information can be stored in the faders, included in a cue list or in a timeline,” he added, reinforcing the idea of a unified system.
At the same time, Avolites introduced the new D3 series, a family of solutions designed to expand the capabilities of the Titan ecosystem at different production levels. “This series is made up of five units,” explained Yañez, introducing a line aimed at scalability and versatility.
Among them, the D3-110 stands out, a console that takes the concept of the Quartz but with greater processing power. “It is a console similar to the Quartz, but from the new generation… it has 24 universes, SMPTE input and output connection, and a much more powerful processor,” he explained.
The series continues with the D3-010, a more compact version designed for smaller spaces. “It is called that because it has no screen… it has eight control universes and does not require any computer to operate,” detailed Yañez, highlighting its application in small theaters or auditoriums.
In terms of expansion, the family incorporates the D3 Wing, which allows expanding the operational capacity of the system. “What it provides is greater operational capacity, by having a larger number of faders and buttons that can be added to the console or to the D3 Core,” he noted.
The D3 Core, on the other hand, introduces a different concept within the line. “It is a processor, but in reality it is a console without buttons or faders… it handles 16 universes and is designed for fixed installations or users who need capacity in a compact format,” he explained.
The series is completed with the D3 Touch, a control surface based on a touch interface. “It is a Wing Touch that works via PoE and is compatible with any version of Titan from version 19 onwards,” he added.
This launch takes place at a key moment for the company, which celebrates 50 years of trajectory in the industry. Five decades in which Avolites has accompanied the evolution of lighting control, and which today finds in the integration between video and lighting a new stage. More than a technological update, the D3 series and the Synergy ecosystem reflect a consolidated vision: increasingly connected, agile systems aligned with the real demands of contemporary entertainment.
At 50 years since its foundation, Avolites does not look back: it redefines its path. Full integration between video and lighting is no longer a promise; it is an operational reality that sets the next standard for the industry.
