Australia - LSC Lighting Systems, the Australian designer and manufacturer of lighting control equipment, has just released its Houston Software, a PC-based application that allows for remote monitoring of your venue's dimmer systems.

Houston can diagnose any operational fault, such as a phase failure, loss of DMX, over temperature etc. When a fault occurs in any given device, a message is sent to one or more of the PCs running the Houston software. This immediately notifies the user of a fault, and the normally Green status indicator starts flashing Red. A quick glance at the screen then gives detailed information about the device failure and the nature of the fault. "Essentially, Houston provides an early warning system, so your show can run as smoothly as possible," the company says. Houston also keeps a permanent log of all lighting system events for later viewing and reviewing.

"This information is invaluable for the fast diagnostics of any problem in all situations: with large stadium concerts, or film shoots with dimmer racks located in multiple positions, you can now see what is happening from one central location. Installers can see the status of a remote venue, such as a school, or church, from their office, via an internet connection, and respond, possibly before the client is aware of the issue," say LSC.
