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