work on Axon

hi,
i had only used the DL2 and not the AXON alone, but what could be fantastic is to have the oportunity to create the look directly on computer, drag and drop files in layers, open close move masks with mouse in layer window, move files position in layers with mouse.... and after create a look with times in the axon that would be send via DMX values, or, as I prefer, a function which send informations in the programmer of the console to save a cue. we could also have an interactive software with DL2s on a PC that would reproduce the interface of the axon wih slots for each DL2.

Thanks

    Hey Mark,

    Are you talking about the preset editor? Catalyst has this as well. This is the interface used to create cues on the sever that the lighting desk triggers.....this reduces the number of channels needed on the desk, but requires separate operation of the server to create the cues. Both Hippo and Catalyst can be fully controled via DMX as well depending on what mode you run them in.....I personally don't care much for the Hippos....for that type of application I much prefer Catalyst...I find the Hippos very klunky (as thier name might suggest;) )...the one really nice thing that Hippo does do is "frame interpolation" when slowing down the playback speed of a piece of content.....apart from that I find Catalyst to have many more features, eaiser to use, and just to be a stronger product overall. Both Catalyst and Hippo are "2-D" environments though....whereas DL.2 and AXON are true "3-D" environments.

    At any rate, while server-presets are useful for these products, it is a different thing than the type of pre-visualization we are talking about for DL.2/AXON
