[SML] Mac-based Lighting Control software: thoughts?

[Ford Sellers]

I agree with Smashwolf,

Chamsys' Magic DMX is pretty awesome.  And, they may give it to your students for free.

" Colleges that run full time Lighting Design Courses where students are expected to have a profesional career in lighting, can apply to be part of a program that provides free MagicDMX Basic interfaces to the students.

Please contact your local distributor or get your course teacher to fill out the MagicDMX Lighting Course"

Subject: [SML] Mac-based Lighting Control software: thoughts?



Greetings all... as I await a DMX/USB interface (intended for testing and troubleshooting, not for running shows), I'm thinking of integrating said device or two for educational purposes... mini-light labs and the like - again, not necessarily for running shows (although I'm not ruling that out - let's see where this goes).  Any recommendations for Mac-based software consoles that are easy to use?

(Just want students to learn the basics, but in a uber-portable way.) And I say Mac-based, cuz that's what we happen to have lying around the theatres.



Free is great... low-price is good, too.... but simple/easy is important. The purpose of this is to teach/explore the basics of the lights, dimmers, DMX, etc, not days/weeks of learning the software.

Thoughts?
