Synthe FX has updated Luminair for iPad to version 1.1, adding support for external MIDI control, the OSC protocol, as well as the ability to send DMX over Wi-Fi via sACN E1.31.
With external MIDI input, Luminair users can now turn any MIDI controller into an advanced DMX lighting console. With features like easy MIDI learn and full mapping capabilities, users can assign external controls to faders, cue buttons, playback controls and much more. Luminair is compatible with CoreMIDI via Apple's USB iPad Camera connection Kit, as well as Line 6's MIDI Mobilizer dock accessory for iOS devices. Alongside the new MIDI features, is the ability to add MIDI Show Control support to Luminair, via an In-App purchase.
Adding support for the OSC (Open Sound Control) protocol opens up an endless number of ways to interact with Luminair. Users now have the ability to create custom user interfaces for controlling Luminair on additional iOS devices, and using other remotes and sensors through the OSC protocol. Multiple remotes can control Luminair at the same time, allowing a team of users to easily work in collaboration on lighting designs, shows, and installations.
Users also now have the option of outputting DMX over Wi-Fi using E1.31 (sACN), which is a network based protocol developed by the ESTA Control Protocols Working Group. sACN E1.31 is a great addition to Luminair's Art-Net support, and makes Luminair compatible with the next generation of network enabled DMX interfaces and lighting consoles.
Notable new features included in Luminair for iPad v1.1:
- iOS 4.2 compatibility
- MIDI input with easy learning and mapping capabilities. Supports Apple's iPad USB Camera Connection Kit and Line 6's MIDI Mobilizer dock accessory.
