Hi guys, ive just been looking about on avolites facebook page and noticed they have some software that is basically a computerized screen for when they are pre programming fixtures.

any idea if its just their software or is something similar available for most software?

Are you referring to a visualiser, or something else?
If so, look at Capture Polar or WYSIWYG, but be prepared for a shock on the price.
Chamsys has it's own visualiser built in now Not sure if Avo do too.

ah, it may well be called a visualizer, from what i could see, it was just a piece of software that was re creating what the lights would be doing, but on a screen...

i only use limelight so just wondered if any program would work with that, or each software had its own dedicated "visualizer"

That is the avolites visualizer only works with the avolites software. You can program it at home with the free pearl, D4 etc simulator but it will save it in to a format that can only be read by an avo desk.

Avolites do various laptop control options but they are professional money.

I believe Chamsys does a pretty good visualizer. James?

Chamsys PC Dongle is only about £70

I've not used the chamsys visualiser, we pay for (wysi)wyg and capture, it's all about the renders for clients rather than preprogramming, but then I'm old school in my ways, a busk page at festivals is about as far as I get with a desk. It's not the purchase price with wyg that gets you, it's the constant paying for upgrades to the latest version. If you just want to preprogram some bits and dont need all the latest bells and whistles then release 20 is easily found. Regarding the avo visualiser, at Glastonbury on the Arcadia stage Jaz was using capture, not sure of that is an indicator as to which is better.

I'd like to stick with limelight if possible as I've only just got my head round it.
Will wyg work with limelight?

Yes I think it will but you will need the DX2 interface at the cost of £400.
