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.

Cross Platform aTouch
Being cross-platform, Emulation Pro can be installed on
Windows, Mac or Ubuntu Linux computers. The software
license allows you to install this application on as many
computers as you like. The one computer linked to the
hardware interface becomes your `live‘ system.
Lighting Console
Connected to a browser, the ART SSC unfolds itself into a
1024 channel lighting controller, complete with an industrystandard command-line interface for fast programming.
It features 256 scenes with programmable fade and hold
times.
Scalability
Emulation Pro is a scalable system. Starting from a single
ART SSC you can expand up to 8 units, several ART IOs and
even ART B6 control panels. Over 8,000 DMX channels can
be controlled with a single system, comprising Emulation
Pro and 8 ART SSCs.
Protocol conversions
The Show Control editor also allows for powerful protocol
conversions between any physical port, like DMX or MIDI
and any Ethernet based protocol like Art-Net or OSC.
ART SSC Programming Tool
The ART SSC has many stand-alone features that can be
accessed by its web-interface. Alternatively, you can also
use Emulation Pro to program the internal memories of the
ART SSC. programming the ART SSCs by using Emulation Pro
is particularly time-saving in a multiple-ART SSC setup.
Emulation Pro is compatible with aTouch, an external program that runs on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. It features
buttons and faders to trigger the software, taking away
the control part from the programming of Emulation Pro.
aTouch is developed with touch screens in mind, password
protected, and can be set to start up upon switching on
the computer.
Monitors
Emulation Pro features intuitive monitor screens for analysing incoming and outgoing DMX, Art-Net, MIDI and OSC
data.
Time-Code
Apart from the industry standard cue list system, Emulation
Pro features a timeline editor for programming accurate
light shows. It can be synchronized by various time code
protocols, like MIDI, OSC and SMPTE.
OSC
Emulation Pro is compatible with OSC. Using the TouchOSC
editor (available from www.hexler.net) and the TouchOSC
app (available from the Apple App Store) one can create
a unique user interface to control Emulation Pro, especially
tailored to the customer‘s needs. A fully functional TouchOSC template for Emulation Pro‘s GUI , including feedback, is available on request.
MIDI
Multiple MIDI control surfaces can be connected to enhance the GUI of Emulation Pro. Adding MIDI controllers offers
the tactile feel of knobs and sliders. Many brands and models are supported.
