Clarity is our new PC-based lighting control application and has been undergoing alpha testing since May. We think Clarity has come on a long way in the last 6 months and we're excited to announce the public beta phase in a final run-up to launch. We'd love you to try out the software - please head over to http://www.openclear.com.au where you can register and freely download a fully functional 30-day trial version.

 

Some of Clarity's key features, so far:

 

- Clear and logical workflow

- Intuitive operation with a shallow learning curve

- Powerful pixel mapping with support for Apple QuickTime video formats

- Innovative performance window, tailored for improvisational usage in live environments

- Extensive real-time effects

- Flexible layout, easily scaling up to multiple monitors

- Extensive and comprehensive fixture library

- Outputs via ArtNet, EntTec DMX USB PRO and the Peperoni Rodin range of USB interfaces

- DMX submasters via ArtNet or EntTec DMX input

- MIDI support for Mackie Control compatible surfaces, such as the Behringer BCF2000

 

We're very keen to hear what you think of the software so far and have setup a dedicated discussion forum at http://forum.openclear.com.au (separate free registration required). Development is ongoing and we have plenty more features to implement over the next few months, so your contribution will help us focus our energy on making Clarity the best PC-based lighting control solution there is.

 

All the best,
