HOUSTON X
HOUSTON X is a LSC’s monitoring and remote configuration software tool that works with
LSC’s professional product range. HOUSTON X connects to UNITOUR over ethernet, using
the same connector as sACN and Art-Net.
HOUSTON X monitors the state of every connected LSC product. All status indicators from
each product are replicated in HOUSTON X. Any alarms, such as loss of DMX are reported
in a single unified list with the date and time of the occurrence. If an alarm occurs the ALARM
indicator appears in red. Alarms
can be marked as “acknowledged” whilst the problem is being
resolved, changing the indicator to yellow. Any new alarms will change the indicator to flashing
red again. Once all alarms are cleared, the indicator disappears.
HOUSTON X can also control every compatible connected LSC product (GEN VI, APS,
MDRD, LED-CV4, UNITOUR, UNITOUR). Set a DMX address, set a channel to dimmer or
Switch (TruPower), check the temperature, test a channel (rigger’s control), find DMX cabling
faults etc.
For example, you could recall the standard patch after a custom show with a few mouse clicks.
Swapping shows is as simple as loading the config file and pushing a button.
Contact LSC or your local LSC agent for more details on HOUSTON X.
HOUSTON X runs on Windows and Mac computers.
