====== White Cat Lighting Board ======

White Cat is a new project of software for lighting in danse, theatre and concerts fields. 
It is actually traditional lights oriented ( dimmers). 

The White cat design strives to make it simple to use, and to give light technicians, light designers, videos artists and artists in general, a comfortable, easy, and useful tool, that answers many environmental and work situations. 

  * Manual approach ( masters , video tracking) 
  * Cue approach ( Cue List and Automations) 
  * Multi-software approach( midi talking and remote control, dmx In and Art-Net merging ) 

White Cat proposes: 

  * a theatre oriented design 
  * a CueList 
  * an electronic patch (512 gradas) with 16 customizable curves 
  * 4 channel macros per channel 
  * a powerful automations handler working inside the CueList, enabling encapsulating events such has audio, channel-time effects,call of many internal functions, chasers, etc.... 
  * a 4x audio player to the stereo output 
  * 48 faders of 6 docks, recordable on the fly (channels, memories, dynamicals contents...), with integrated times, cirves and LFOs.  Faders are usable with mouse, midi, and maybe automated. 
  * several modes of calculation between faders ( substract, add, screen, exclusion) 
  * ability to create fader groups 
  * 128 chasers of 24 tracks, for on the fly usage, by mouse or midi, build on music-sequencer's design 
  * a trichromy/quadrichromy wheel with 8 color-preset to handle RGB or RGBY traditionnal spots 
  * 4 GridPlayers, enabling complexs lighting effects 
  * tracking video aka Air-Lighting to be use with any webcam 
  * built in Lighting Plot editor, enabling patching from plot 
  * drawing lights on stage in a performance with your iOs device 
  * ASCII Usitt export import , import of schwartzpeter shows 
  * PDF export of your show 
  * possibility to modify in stack channel and memories (wizard menu) 
  * a remote for iPod/Phone and iPad, based on the free app Fantastick 
  * Art-Net in and merging for multi-software use 
  * Double dmx output ( usb + art-net) to remote other softs in art-net (Arkaos, VVVV ) 
  * midi in and out ( remoted and remoting) 
  * midi retrolightning 
  * evoluated midi mute for non motorized midi surfaces 
  * possibility to modifier in stack channel and memories (wizard menu) 
  * arduino communication: Duemillanove (log. 0.18), and UNO ( log 0.22), enabling you to connect easely to electronci devices, in usb, ethernet or RF ( jeenodes ) 
  * retrolighting Midi feedback for Launchpad and others devices 
  * arduino serial communication built in, for easy remoting and receiving of electronics 
  * an complete set of sketches for the arduino, including art-net protocol 
  * a vvvv set of patches for lighting with a videoprojector 

Dmx interfaces supported: 

Art-Net protocol / Enttec Pro / Enttec Open / Velleman K8062 / Sunlite 8C / usbdmx512online.net
