Disguise - Designer

Designer is the software only version of our production suite, which enables designers, project managers and technicians to work on a unified communication and collaboration platform.From conceptual pre-visualisation through technical specification, sequencing and content compositing all the way to technical set-up, Designer is the flexible but powerful solution.

Our powerful 3D stage simulator can be used on a laptop, from which you can build up your show, test different stages and screens, add props, lighting and video content to the timeline, then create fly-through movies to show your client what the show is really going to look like and get it signed off.

When it’s show time, just take your project from your device, transfer it to the on-site disguise rack-mount and press play. Using the same system throughout will continue to save you time and money.

Available as software download or via USB License Key.

NotchFX - Builder Pro

Notch allows you to work with live video feeds or media server footage.

Once the results have been sent back, the media server can use it like any other video – compositing, mapping, outputting to screens or projectors.

Notch has been crafted to fully integrate between particles, fields, geometry and textures. Seed your particles from a live video source or textured geometry.

Then use the particles to generate elements like geometry, light sources and more. Notch’s physically based material system gives you all the tools you would

expect; normal, displacement, specular and roughness maps. Standard light types, shadows and image based lighting. But Notch takes you beyond the expected, to voxel cone tracing for ambient occlusion and global illumination, mix in reflection & refraction support and you’ve got something special.

Rosendahl - MIF4 Timecode Interface

Digital audio workstations as well as lighting and show control software make use of MTC midi timecode for synchronisation. The mif4 provides professional interfacing to standard LTC (SMPTE) timecode. Rosendahl sync algorithms suppress timecode jitter and drop outs.

SOURCE = LTC read LTC (SMPTE) timecode, display and convert into MTC/USB midi time code and regenerate LTC (SMPTE) timecode.

SOURCE = MIDI read MTC from MIDI input, display and convert into LTC (SMPTE) and regenerate MTC/USB midi timecode.

SOURCE = USB read MTC from USB, display and convert into LTC (SMPTE) and regenerate MTC/USB midi timecode.

SOURCE = GEN the timecode generator can be set up and started manually or remote controlled by MMC midi machine control comands. FPS timecode standards are automatically detected and displayed by the four FPS LEDs (24, 25, 30 Frames Per Second, DF is SMPTE Drop Frame standard).

DISPLAY = TC shows timecode in hours, minutes, seconds and frames.

DISPLAY = UB SMPTE user bits, 8 nibbles shown hexadecimal.

DISPLAY = CAL informs about timecode speed. 29.97 non drop timecode for example is indicated by 30 FPS LED and calibration 0.9990.

DISPLAY = REF PAL or NTSC video syncs (576i, 480i) as well as HD tri-level syncs (720p, 1080i, 1080p) are automatically detected and displayed along with their frame rate.

Intended for photographers, videographers, cinematographers and gaffers, the C-700R SpectroMaster Spectrometer for Photo/Video/Cine from Sekonic is an advanced field meter capable of reading all light sources whether they're LED, flash, incandescent, HMI, fluorescent or in the natural light spectrum. Most importantly, it's a practical lighting tool that analyzes the light source using 9 different display modes on its 4.3" color touchscreen, indicating specifically what you need to do to achieve your desired effect. Additionally the C-700R employs radio technology to wirelessly trigger a PocketWizard-connected flash at distances up to 100'. The meter's CMOS sensor enables measurement in increments as fine as 1nm and allows capture of color spikes in the light output - an especially valuable function when working with LED, HMI, fluorescent lighting and mixed sources.

The SpectroMaster has very impressive accuracy, repeatability and response specs and a wide range of values in all modes. Flash units can be triggered at distances up to up 100' (30 m) using the optional PocketWizard wireless triggering system. Any flash can be triggered and measured with a touch of the meter's measuring button. Selective zone control can even trigger individual flashes in a group or the entire group simultaneously. Ambient light has a wide 1.0 to 200,000 lux range (0.09 to 18,600 fc).

grandMA3 vis-key

Software Compatibility: MA3 Software Only

3D Visualizer Parameters: Unlimited

Real-world Parameters: 512 parameters can be output via DMX over Ethernet

grandMA3 viz-key is the unique solution for a stable and safe connectivity between third-party visualization tools and grandMA3 lighting control systems. Simply connect the grandMA3 viz-key with the visualization computer and it will enable all necessary parameters for visualization.

By definition all involved third-party manufacturers are MA-Net3 members on the network and can visualize all granted parameters instantly. The grandMA3 viz-key enables also all non-granted parameters for visualization.

Each visualization station needs a dedicated grandMA3 viz-key and works for all third-party visualizers. One grandMA3 viz-key knows about all third-party visualizers - no need for a specific dongle per manufacturer – one solution fits it all. Additionally, the grandMA3 viz-key comes with 512 parameters onboard. This allows for simple fixture tests in the real world if no other parameters are available. Only in a grandMA3 onPC solutions environment, 512 parameters will be added to the existing parameter count. Even adding multiple grandMA3 viz-keys in one system will only add a total of 512 parameters, the maximum parameter count within the grandMA3 onPC solutions range remains 4 096. The 512 parameters can be output via DMX over Ethernet.

The grandMA3 viz-key runs independent of internet connectivity for up to 10 days before a validation update is needed. All third-party visualizers and further information about the grandMA3 viz-key can be found below.

Here you will find the most current information on which third-party visualizers and which software versions of those products will be compatible with the grandMA3 viz-key. Each visualizer software version is tested and verified before it will be activated to communicate with the grandMA3 viz-key and then released on the corresponding visualizer´s website. The grandMA3 viz-key, the easiest way ever to cross-connect between any scale of grandMA3 lighting control system and any compatible third-party visualizer processing units
