Where can I download the Light Designer and Control Designer software ?

Dan,

LightDesigner is a tool intended for ETC technicians to commission a Unison Paradigm Control System. It is possible for the software to be used by a site or end-user, however there is training required before the software is provided. LightDesigner is a powerful tool used to configure every attribute of the control system.

ControlDesigner is a software tool for configuring the graphics and page navigation for a Paradigm Touchscreen. This software will be publicly available later this year, but is currently a technician tool.

Pharos Designer is a free software for configuring Pharos LPC products and their expansion module. This software can be downloaded for PC or Mac using the link from the www.etcconnect.com website at:

If you have specific questions about the software, or their capabilities, I would be happy to discuss them with you.

Thx Bryan.

Is there an article comparing the 2 lines of products?

thx

A brief overview:

Paradigm is a complete dimming and lighting control application meant for mainly architectural purposes.  This includes wall stations and touchscreen controls.

Pharos is a lighting playback controller - It does not have any dimming component to it, although it can control dimmers.  It is more meant to meet the needs of a standalone thing.

The two can talk to one another in the right set of circumstances (which aren't that difficult to come by.)

An example : Paradigm would do the lighting control for an entire building while the pharos would do some specialized control for some LED fixtures that were in that building. 

Does that help?
