Avolites releases Synergy software

New software control system, Synergy, has been released by Avolites.

Effectively a free V12 software upgrade to both its lighting console and media server ranges, Synergy allows lighting designers to have full visibility and fine control over both the lighting and video components of a multi-media performance.

Synergy allows users to quickly and simply pull control of pre-created screen surfaces and layers into a Titan-based lighting console at the touch of a button, or, vice versa, create surfaces in an Ai media server from within the console interface. All operations are said to occur seamlessly using Avolites’ proprietary Titan Net protocol and take place on whatever hardware the user is running.

New features of the software include Lightmap, which allows users to stream Ai video colour data through any colour-mixing fixture group, to instantly integrate them into a larger video canvas. As a result, everything from high-res LED screens to LED fixture groups can be controlled from a single intuitive User Interface without the requirement to create and arrange fixtures in the media server or create ArtNet merges. Users can simply select the group and choose Ai in the pixel mapper.

Synergy also allows for live video previews of up to six simultaneous streams from the media server, inside the Titan interface, giving users full control whether the servers are located FOH or elsewhere. These can be either layer previews or screen outputs. And Synergy’s media browser allows content to be selected and uploaded to specific locations on connected servers from the console interface. This content then appears on the bank with a thumbnail ready to play as soon as it’s uploaded and/or converted to AiM.

“From high-profile rock shows to corporate presentations, lighting designers are being asked to increasingly combine lighting and video elements together for maximum impact,” commented Stephen Baird-Smith, sales manager, Avolites. “As the only company in the industry that has both a lighting console platform and a media server range, we are ideally placed to bring them together into the same interface and are delighted with the new creative possibilities we have already seen realised from the beta program.”

The beta version of Synergy has already been used on the last Gary Numan tour, on the Temple Stage at Glastonbury, at Septembers Hospitality In The Park & Abode which took place at Finsbury Park in London, and has even been used by Everlast Productions in the US to projection map a simulacrum of the White House at a corporate event.

 

A video showcasing exactly what Synergy is capable of with integrated lighting and video can be seen here, while a new showroom at Avolites in London has been equipped with the latest equipment for potential customers to see hands on just what be achieved with the new software.
