The Avolites Stage Visualiser simulation programme combines software and hardware, allowing lighting designers and programmers the opportunity to pre-programme the lighting rig without having direct access to the instruments, the rig or the venue - in effect, a virtual production rehearsal.

A particular feature of the Visualiser is that is can be used on a Laptop computer using a special cable. When used in this way the Visualiser extends the capabilities of the console by showing selected fixtures and allowing previewing of memories.

The hardware comprises a 1,024 channel DMX reader card for fitting into a desktop PC and a special cable which connects to the serial port on a laptop PC and the MIDI port on an Avolites console, and the software simulates and displays intelligent fixtures on your PC.

Visualiser offers all the benefits of remote programming such as time efficiency, space and cost reduction plus advance preparation for shows - particularly useful for shared console situations such as festivals, multi-purpose venues and concert halls.

Visualiser also includes full DMX monitor and testing facilities.
The Avolites Visualiser realises its true potential as a training aid and also for demonstrating design concepts to clients with minimal time or financial outlay.

The Visualiser has an export and import function which is used to patch Avolites Consoles and train them for follow spot tracking. The report also contains the X,Y,Z co-ordinates and orientation of every fixture and object within the Visualiser, giving the possibility of importing this into third party software. The Import function give the possibility of editing the patch in a Spreadsheet form, as well as importing information form other third party software.
The Avolites Visualiser has been designed to save onsite programming time thus reducing production costs.
