dblux Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hello!I want to buy some software to made light design with visualiser,and that I could pre-program showns at home and then connect to a console.I'm not sure about what software should I buy.I enjoy working with the demo of sunlite but I really don't know how the changing to the console should be perfect.if somebody could help me in that choise I really appreciate.thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Frazer Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 If you have the money, Wysiwyg from Cast Lighting is one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 The first question is really - Which console? The professional solutions involve running two software packages - a visualiser, and an off-line editor. Wysiwyg from Cast Lighting and Capture from Capture Sweden are the two biggest visualisers.However, neither of them is a console offline editor! You'll need the appropriate console OLE as well - most manufacturers make this available for free, although unfortunately some OLEs are unable to communicate with any visualisers.

Christian Guegel Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hi ! I used sunlite before but I doubt that some moving lights behave like they do in sunlite.....if you like to use it for playing around it is fine and cheap... if you want to use it for bigger projects you should manage to find a way to get wysiwyg. There's also as already mentioned Capture or you can check out ESP Vision in Germany is a new program called V:EASY avaiable... have a nice day!byechris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robe575xt Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi, Sunlite has an option for DMX in for use with a console, if memory serves me correctly the console can be used to run cues and scenes from the software. Also sunlite works the ELC out station which is a console mimic, not sure if this would be suitable for what you require but could be worth a look.

24seven Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I have to say for the cost I like the look of sunlite ( just had a quick look ) it would be ideal for a quick test of ideas etc but yes for full on visualisation WYSIWYG is the one to get Mark W-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
