Alcorn McBride Shows New iPad Apps for Lighting and Show Control
At ISE 2011, Alcorn McBride showed two new iPad Apps for lighting and show control.
The first iPad App is Touch, a brand-new drag and drop utility for creating show/media control applications. It allows users to design full-featured touch screen interfaces for applications of any size, according to the company. Its platform includes a large library of virtual switches, buttons, indicators and displays. With the App, the iPad wirelessly obtains real-time information from the show controllers and allows the interface programming to be archived and retrieved from the controller.
Touch is coming out later this month and will cost $9.99 in the iTunes store. For more information, click here: http://www.alcorn.com/new-entertainment-controllers/
The second iPad App is LightingPad, used to control lighting for small shows or for installing and testing lighting systems. It can also be used to program Alcorn McBride’s LightCuePro. The App controls 512 channels of DMX and stores up to 100 cues with independent fade times. With the Art-Net DMX-over-Ethernet protocol, it can automatically search and interface with any Art-Net device.
LightingPad costs $9.99 and is available here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lightingpad/id378694460?mt=8
