Titan v16.0 focuses on speed and efficiency

Described as a major new release, v16.0 of Avolites Titan lighting and media control software platform introduces two new main features developed to assist programmers and operators by providing better access to the data they need.

The new Freeform Layout view provides the ability to arrange and select fixtures in a 2D layout either manually, or automatically from the integrated Capture visualiser – streamlining the workflow from design to programming. It provides a visual representation of the current state of the fixtures and can be accessed from a new Layouts window and Layout handle type. With this new function, group handles can be included in layouts to further assist fixture selection. Multiple layouts can also be created providing the ability to have more than one arrangement of fixtures or to separate fixtures into specific layouts. Additionally, the view supports multitouch gesture controls for zoom and pan.

A new window called Cue List Tracking View provides a way to view and edit the values and tracking of individual fixtures and attributes in a cue list. A View Tracking button has also been added to the Playback View context menu. Selecting it opens the Tracking View window with the associated playback cues. Selecting the Select Cue List option from the Tracking View context menu will open a menu where you can select other cue lists. The window will remember the last selected cue list when opened and if it is opened without a cue list it will prompt to select one.

The upgrade also includes a raft of new bug fixes and improvements. It can be downloaded for free from the Avolites website.
