| + | **FreeStyler**\\ | ||
| + | FreeStyler is the main program where light can be set, settings recorded and playedback.\\ | ||
| + | This gives the possibility to have live control over the light but also to make pre programmed scenes / settings.\\ | ||
| + | The preprogrammed settings can consist of one or more scenes that can be freely programmed and this gives the possibility to create fixed scenes for theater or dynamic shifting scenes / light that can be used for concerts or disco.\\ | ||
| + | The scenes are saved in sequences which are attached to a cue and the cue is then used to playback the sequences.\\ | ||
| + | An example could be a shifting light (chaser). The lights that are “on” and “off” are set one by one and added to a sequence. Each step in the sequence represent shift in which light that are “on” and which are “off”.\\ | ||
| + | When the sequence is playedback in a cue this gives a shifting light. | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | FreeStyler has a lot of functionality to make an easy programming of the light and to manipulate the setting so the light behave like wanted even in tricky situations.\\ | ||
| + | Additional it has the possibility to use external control input such as fader panels via midi interface or input from touch screens.\\ | ||
| + | From users there are created aps for remote control with mac or android.\\ | ||

| + | Fixture Creator is a program used to create personalities, | ||
| + | An example could be a light fixture that has a red color on color wheel.\\ | ||
| + | The color is controlled on channel 5 with a DMX value 30.\\ | ||
| + | In Fixture Creator this can be configured so the color wheel function is attached to channel 5.\\ | ||
| + | Additional an icon here “red” can be selected and a value, here 30 can be linked together.\\ | ||
| + | This will, when this fixture is used in FreeStyler, give a red icon in the color wheel panel and when the red icon is pressed FreeStyler know that it has to send the value 30 on the fixtures channel 5.\\ | ||
| + | There by the linking.\\ | ||
| + | All fixture control functions in FreeStyler are present and can be configured in Fixture Creator.\\ | ||
| + | Have a look on the wiki. There are plenty examples and information.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **Art-Net to DMX**\\ | ||
| + | Art-Net to DMX is a small client program that are placed on a remote PC.\\ | ||
| + | The remote PC are connected to the light fixture via a DMX dongle and to the Ethernet.\\ | ||
| + | This setup enables FreeStyler to control the remote PC and there by the light connected to the remote PC via Ethernet.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **FreeStandalone.**\\ | ||
| + | FreeStandalone is a small program that works with some special DMX interfaces that has a build-in memory. The memory of these interfaces can hold a number of scenes which can be controlled / selected with the “FreeStandalone”.\\ | ||
| + | The scenes are recorded and uploaded to the memory with Sequence Editor.\\ | ||
