White Cat is a new project of software for lighting in danse, theatre and concerts fields. It is actually traditional lights oriented ( dimmers).
The White cat design strives to make it simple to use, and to give light technicians, light designers, videos artists and artists in general, a comfortable, easy, and useful tool, that answers many environmental and work situations.
-Manual approach ( masters , video tracking)
-Cue approach ( Cue List and Automations)
-Multi-software approach( midi talking and remote control, dmx In and Art-Net merging )
White Cat proposes:
- a theatre oriented design
- a CueList
- an electronic patch (512 gradas) with 16 customizable curves
- 4 channel macros per channel
- a powerful automations handler working inside the CueList, enabling encapsulating events such has audio, channel-time effects,call of many internal functions, chasers, etc….
-a 4x audio player to the stereo output
-48 faders of 6 docks, recordable on the fly (channels, memories, dynamicals contents…), with integrated times, cirves and LFOs. Faders are usable with mouse, midi, and maybe automated. -several modes of calculation between faders ( substract, add, screen, exclusion) -ability to create fader groups
-128 chasers of 24 tracks, for on the fly usage, by mouse or midi, build on music-sequencer's design
-a trichromy/quadrichromy wheel with 8 color-preset to handle RGB or RGBY traditionnal spots
-4 GridPlayers, enabling complexs lighting effects
-tracking video aka Air-Lighting to be use with any webcam
-built in Lighting Plot editor, enabling patching from plot
- drawing lights on stage in a performance with your iOs device
-ASCII Usitt export import , import of schwartzpeter shows -PDF export of your show -possibility to modify in stack channel and memories (wizard menu)
-a remote for iPod/Phone and iPad, based on the free app Fantastick
- Art-Net in and merging for multi-software use -double dmx output ( usb + art-net) to remote other softs in art-net (Arkaos, VVVV )
-midi in and out ( remoted and remoting) -midi retrolightning -evoluated midi mute for non motorized midi surfaces
-possibility to modifier in stack channel and memories (wizard menu) -arduino communication: Duemillanove (log. 0.18), and UNO ( log 0.22), enabling you to connect easely to electronci devices, in usb, ethernet or RF ( jeenodes ) -retrolighting Midi feedback for Launchpad and others devices
-arduino serial communication built in, for easy remoting and receiving of electronics -an complete set of sketches for the arduino, including art-net protocol
-a vvvv set of patches for lighting with a videoprojector
