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?

Yes Jeff -
