Software for live shows

Before connecting a complete rig, it helps to see what happens between a command and its result: which channels change, which personality interprets them, and how a value becomes intensity, colour or movement. Dedicated software makes those steps visible and repeatable.

SLX StagePilot is a Windows application developed by Silicon LogiX to receive DMX data over Ethernet and apply it to a virtual 3D stage. Scene programming, visualisation and stream diagnostics let the operator follow the path from channel values to fixture behaviour.

Its counterpart is an embedded Linux console with a touch interface . Connecting the two applications makes it possible to verify a system with separate responsibilities and a shared protocol.

From fixture to 3D stage

The stage contains 44 virtual devices across 15 types, including Spot, Wash, PAR, LED bars, strobes, blinders, house lights, followspots and lasers.…
