ENTTEC Pty Ltd and db Audioware have partnered again on a product that will give lighting professionals the same wow factor.
D-Pro is a software-based lighting controller which plays well with a host of different professional-level hardware devices from ENTTEC. It has plenty of advanced features for the most demanding lighting professional, allowing for control of up to 8 universes of DMX512 data and it packs more than a few innovations.
D-PRO's graphical user interface will allow novices and veterans alike a quick learning curve, but for the seasoned operator who wishes it, a robust command line is available. It supports virtually unlimited cues, palettes and groups, a multi-layered cuelist playback engine, scripting, effects and much more.
Partial feature list:
- Unlimited groups, unlimited palletes and unlimited cues allowed
- With the advanced timing feature, any category of attributes for an fixture can have its own time in a cue, seperate from the overall cue timing
- A concept familiar to many moving light console users, the 'Programmer' area allows live edits to be made and saved as a group, cue or pallete
- D-PRO employs standard editing conventions for cutting, pasting and copying so it's easy to learn and powerful to use
- D-PRO supports all three of Enttec's popular wing series natively
- In conjunction with the release of D-PRo, Enttec is announcing a standalone version. Immediately available for the Datagate Mk2 and soon on a new USB-based product.
| Feature |
Description |
| Groups |
Unlimited Groups are allowed. D-PRO considers a Group to be a pointer to a selection of fixtures, which can include non-consecutive ordering for purposes of fanning them or chasing through them in an effect. When effects and/or cues are built using Groups as containers, the result of later edits to the Group can be propagated automatically. |
| Palette |
Unlimited Palettes are allowed. These are reusable building blocks of attribute information that are linked to one or more specific fixtures. |
| Cue |
Unlimited Cues can be built and included in the show file. These are typically assembled from Groups and ad hoc selections of fixtures and may include the application of Palettes to them, or static levels, or Effects, in any combination. The Cues in turn are able to be assembled in a sequence into a Cuelist. where timing information can be saved. |
| Advanced Timing |
With the Advanced Timing feature, any category of attributes for any fixture can have its own time in a cue, separate from the overall cue timing. |
| Effects |
D-PRO has an extendable effects system based on the Python language. Users who are familiar with this environment can therefore write their own effects and plug them into the operation of the program. |
| Submasters |
Submasters are supported in the Show Control window, and they can be tied to physical input devices on a variety of hardware accessories. The user can load different cues or cuelists on to the submasters. |
| Programmer |
A concept familiar to many moving light console users, the "Programmer" area allows live edits to be made, and saved as a cue, group, or palette. |
| Programmer Blind |
Blind mode is used for editing in the programmer without affecting stage output. |
| Timeline |
Cuelists are created and edited with an intuitive drag-and-drop operation. Timeline based editing gives the user powerful easy to comprehend controls. In the timeline fades are adjusted for start and stop points as well as position relative to audio tracks. Any single cue can be placed in multiple locations on the cuelist or into multiple cuelists. |
| Grand Master |
The Grand Master is applied to intensity parameters exclusively, allowing all other parameters (beam, color, ect..) to remain independent, simplifying programming and expediting the learning curve. |
| Standard editing |
D-PRO employs standard editing conventions for cutting, pasting and copying so it's easy to learn and powerful to use. |
| DMX Output |
Output setting is configured in a spreadsheet where the user can select the hardware type, protocol, and settings for that output type. |
| Wing support |
D-PRO supports all three of Enttec's popular wing series natively |
| Standalone |
In conjunction with the release of D-Pro Enttec is announcing a standalone version. Immediatly available for the Datagate Mk2, and soon on a new USB-based product. |
| Fixture Library |
The online fixture editor gives users one central location to create new fixture profiles and download pre-configured fixture profiles from our development team and other users. |
| Event triggering |
Cuelist triggers, and command line input is user configured to work in conjunction with a variety of sources including keyboard shortcuts, touchscreen-friendly buttons, MIDI input, and any ENTTEC hardware wing. Audio files can be added to cuelists for synchronised playback. |
