Party visualisation packages allow you to preview your
lighting through a 3D emulator when you don’t have
access to the venue. Most accept Art-Net or streaming
ACN directly (see pages 55 and 56 respectively), but FLX
also includes specific support for Capture, WYSIWYG and
Light Converse, detailed below.
Capture
Capture visualising software communicates with the desk
via a protocol known as CITP. This protocol allows for any
standard PC network between the desk and the visualising
PC. The console allows you to configure either a fixed IP
address or one allocated via DHCP. As long as the two
devices can see each other, the system should function
correctly.
For more information on Capture, please visit their website
at capturesweden.com
Light Converse
The Light Converse visualiser uses Art-Net to
communicate with the desk software. The rules of Art-Net
apply when configuring a Light Converse setup.
“Light Converse integration” requires a Zero 88 Light
Converse USB dongle. Once active, the system allows
bidirectional control of fixtures, selection and patching via
the Ethernet connection.
