LightFactory is designed to allow any
lighting engineer, operator, or designer
to purchase an affordable, extremely reli-
able lighting controller they can become
completely familiar with and that works in
every situation.
LightFactory controllers have been used in
an extensive range of lighting applications.
From running major stadium spectaculars
to local theater productions and to lighting
in night clubs, the tools provided by
LightFactory are ideal.
Its portability and familiar user interface
make it perfect for use on a laptop PC.
The system is fully expandable, giving an
upgrade path from a single DMX universe
up to 64 universes as your system grows.
Support for LED fixtures, moving heads
and generic dimmers is built in and fixtures
can be combined to create matrices which
can be mapped to video, still images or
motion paths.
LightFactory consists of software and
small licence dongles, making them easy
to lock away and maintain.
LightFactory ships with all you need;
a CD with software, a USB Dongle to allow
DMX transmission and a licence. Set up
is simple, turning any modern PC into a
powerful lighting console. Venues can also
utilise existing PC hardware as LightFactory
can be run on any modern computer.
LightFactory is compatible with WYSIWYG,
Capture Sweden and Light Converse
visualisation packages, and also supports
ethernet DMX transmission via Art-Net and
Zero Wire DMX. Palmtop remote software
is also available as a free download,
enabling remote full command line control.
In theatrical environments LightFactory
really comes into its own. Arguably the
only true theater console on a PC, Light-
Factory responds to standard theatrical
syntax (1 thru 5 @ 50), features familiar
channel views and has a proper theatrical
cue list with fade times, dwell times, follow
on, etc. Tracking backup is also possible
with a second PC and LightFactory also
offers timecode support.
LightFactory is a unique, PC based lighting control system. It has been designed to allow
any lighting engineer, operator, or designer to purchase an affordable, extremely reliable
lighting controller which they can become completely familiar with and that works in
every situation.
