Welcome

The  V16Pro,  V4Pro  and  VCore  show  controllers  are  the  latest  versions  of  our  original,  most  powerful,
show controllers.  They are ideally suited for the control of theme park attractions, museum displays, retail
spaces, casino installations, games shows, or almost any automated venue.  They provide more serial ports
than  any  of  our  other  controllers,  and  offers  almost  unlimited  memory  capacity.  Other  important  features
include self-healing outputs, software configurable inputs, dual Ethernet ports, MIDI, USB, video sync, and
a  built-in  SMPTE  generator  and  reader.  In  short,  they  have  just  about  every  control  interface  you’d  ever
need, all in one easy to use box.
