Description
Emulation Pro
Emulation Pro is a free download, available for Windows, Mac & Linux. It can be installed on multiple computers; the one connected to the ART SSC hardware becomes ‘live’, also enabling all hardware interfaces like general purpose input- and output ports, SMPTE time code and DMX in and out.
The Emulation Pro user interface is designed with touch screens in mind. Speedy programming of lighting cues and matrixes is possible using the freely programmable, direct access group and palette buttons. A TouchOSC template is available to mimic all functions of the software on an iOS device - a fully functional Emulation Pro remote control!
Emulation Pro features an extensive matrix pixel mapper for creating beautiful matrix effects. Some examples of effects that come with the software are twinkle, sinus, confetti, vortex, rainbow and text generator. These effects can be modified as well, changing parameters like density, shape, speed, etc. Once created, the software can calculate a seamless loop that can be automatically spanned across multiple ART SSCs. When copied to the ART SSCs, one can remove the computer with Emula­tion Pro, leaving the network with ART SSCs connected on site, thus facilitating unattended playback of complex matrix patterns. An Emulation Pro system is an excellent solution for media façades, shopping malls and other architectural projects.
Emulation Pro can be tightly integrated in other media systems as well. Using a choice of time code sources, events can be synchronized with lighting cues. UDP mes­sages sent over the network can be used to synchronize lighting with media players and video content. The software also includes a powerful time line editor, as an alternative to the industry standard cuelist system. In fact any part of the Emulation Pro user interface can be activated by external triggers.

Description
ART SSC
The Art SSC is a lighting controller for permanent installations. The device is completely solid-state, with no moving parts; it is an extremely secure and low-maintenance installation control solution that has only a minimal power consumption. All operating and programming is done through its dynamic web 2.0 interface. IDEAL FOR : permanent installations, architectural lighting, art installations, retail, bars, clubs, restaurants, exhibitions, interactive media, museums, outdoor lighting and theme parks. Basic concept of ART SSC is that any cue, DMX/Art-Net recording or scene setting can be triggered by either internal or external triggers. Examples of external triggers are a DMX input signal, contact closure or UDP or OSC messages. Internal (unattended) triggers can be generated by the built-in Real Time Clock using day/date schedule or daily sunset/sunrise.
