whitelights Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hello everyone, my first post on blueroom! I have read the locked post about the release date of titan, I too thought that the software was not released yet, in fact titan has been released and is available now. Last week I was in newcastle where Steve from avolites had the full range of consoles on demo and had titan installed. I have a Pearl Expert, and he said that what people need to do is send their desks back to Avolites, they will install both the titan software AND hardware upgrade, and soak test it for you. I had a little play with the new software, and from my short time with it, I would say that its fantastic! seperate attribute fades and delays, fixture overlap mode, playbacks on preset faders, now I am happy I spent the extra cash on an expert!! ;) Ed White Visit My Website - whitelights.info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBToby Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks Ed for your posting and comments regarding Titan. I thought I would clarify the exact details. The upgrade involves adding hardware and installing software, it addresses several potential issues we have identified over the last two years, and involves some minor soldering to improve DMX immunity when long DMX cables are used, adding more processor memory, and the installation of a mechanical cage over the motherboard which secures all the cables and socketed components (such as the memory) which can become loose in over a period of time. We want to ensure every console is properly upgraded and to do this we have set up a trained team at Avolites to answer any questions and to carry out upgrades here. Ideally all upgrades would be carried out here or by our trained Distributors, although we realize this might not always be possible so we have also written a very detailed manual and created a kit of parts to allow field upgrades by competent persons. We have made the upgrade non chargeable, and we make no charge to fit it here so there is no reason not to upgrade and lots of reasons to especially because it allows you to run Titan or Classic Pearl software making the console doubly powerful and useful. To arrange an upgrade if you are in the UK you can contact Lee on our usual contact numbers (020 8965 8522, service@avolites.com) or if you purchased outside of the UK you should contact the Distributor you purchased the console from in the first instance, if that is a problem you should contact us in London. When you contact either ourselves or the Distributor you purchased the console from you will be asked for the serial number of your console. In most cases we should be able to upgrade the console at Avolites in just 1 day. Titan is a major upgrade for the Pearl Expert as Ed mentions and we are already working on the next Titan releases to be delivered later this year. On a side note Lindsey is now running Titan training courses, either for new users or for cross training from Pearl classic software and please contact Lindsey for availability and booking and it should be possible to upgrade your console on the same day as you are trained! Finally and as always please contact myself or your usual contact at Avolites if you have any additional questions. Richard Salzedo, Managing Director, Avolites Ltd.

Olie Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Were can I get the Ipod/Iphone remote software? No extra software is required, it simply uses the built in iPod browser. All Titan desks come ready for the remote, all you have to do is setup a wireless access point and browse to the consoles IP address in the iPod web browser.
