Aurora Terminology
Cues
Cues are specific configurations of a pattern, palette, and parameters that can be
saved and played in a Show.
LED Pixels
LED pixels refer to the RGB LED fixtures used in Aurora installations.
Mobile App Connection Modes
AP Mode
AP Mode establishes a one-to-one Wi-Fi connection between Aurora Pro and a
mobile device.
Station Mode
12
Station Mode establishes a Wi-Fi connection between Aurora Pro and an
existing external Wi-Fi network that a mobile device is connected to.
Palette
Palettes are the color schemes Aurora uses in its Patterns.
Parameter
Parameters control features of each pattern and palette such as speed, energy,
variance, and decay. Parameters affect each pattern differently.
Pattern
Patterns are the foundation of Aurora lighting design. Patterns uniquely analyze
incoming audio data and map the data into specific lighting behavior. Each pattern
also reacts differently to lighting parameters. Playing with parameters for each
palette is recommended to optimize light shows.
Performance Modes
Performance Modes determine how Aurora lighting data is controlled: in real-time
(Live Control Mode), through predefined cue lists (Show Mode), or through third-
party lighting protocols, such as DMX.
Live Control Mode
Live Control Mode allows users to change patterns, palettes, and parameters in
real-time using the Aurora Mobile App.
Show Mode
Show Mode allows users to create and schedule a set of cues.
DMX IN Mode
DMX IN Mode allows users to access the functionality of Live Control Mode via
a DMX controller or console. Refer to the
Aurora DMX Specification Appendix
for information.
DMX OUT Mode
12
DMX OUT Mode allows users to connect DMX fixtures to Aurora Pro.
Shows
A Show is a set of cues played in succession for specific time durations, set to run
indefinitely or until an event is registered e.g. silence detection.
