UK - Avolites has announced an update to its Titan remote app, boosting performance and functionality. It is ‘a significant upgrade to the last Titan remote app’ (released several years ago) and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
The Titan remote app works alongside Avolites lighting consoles running Titan software, to provide moving light control from a mobile phone or tablet.
Using the Avolites Remote app on a mobile device, with the addition of an external wireless access point, any Avolites lighting console can be remote-controlled using Wi-Fi from an android or iOS mobile device like a smartphone or tablet.
The remote app also enables running and storing palettes and running playbacks which is invaluable to lighting designers, directors and operators when rigging, testing and focusing fixtures.
Multiple remote devices can be connected to the console, and the console itself remains functional while the remotes are connected. Each remote has a separate programmer, allowing an operator to continue working on the console while another user programs or updates palettes via the remote. This is particularly useful when the front of house view is obscured or a significant distance away from the lighting rig or stage.
Paul de Villiers of Devill Productions has been using the upgrade remote app for several months and comments: “This is a hugely useful app. Since learning all the new features, I have found it really handy, not just for my TV and film studio jobs, but also all the outdoor projects I have been working on. Especially when in tricky locations where it is challenging to get a console up high or on sloping surfaces – the remote app was a total lifesaver in these situations.”
Paul Wong, managing director of Avolites, adds: “We’ve really focussed on delivering a great experience for our users with this update, and are committed to continuing development of the best control software in the market, which is fast, intuitive and fully featured.”
