Compulite Vector Release 3.17 Launched

Compulite's flagship console Vector has a new major software release which is centered on productivity features that accelerate the programming and operation of even the most complex show.

Some key new features will make the programming experience with the Vector easier, faster and more productive. You can organise your editing and playback screens in multiple workspaces. Each workspace allows you to customise a whole environment with multiple views and panes. You can build each one and save/open each workspace separately and create various workspaces such as live workspace, editing workspace, TOPO workspace, etc. You can also use the navigation utility when some of the workspaces are not visible due to the length of their name.

More Grid editing is available: you can edit the object's attributes right on the grid (table) where you are viewing the data. This saves many steps of opening the object and editing each object separately. Among the new display types that you can now edit is cue sheet. Grid editing is also available for QLISTs, Cue Sheets, Libraries, Groups, Macros, Snaps & Timelines. Grid editing is also available in EXAM mode.

Vector now offers you a new ‘Desktop', a powerful productivity and unique feature. A Desktop is an area where you can drag different objects and activate them "right from there" as you do on your PC desktop - combine libraries, fixtures, colors, gobo pickers, macros and other types of objects and parameters and activate them quickly in one click, all from one area. The new desktop handles these very different objects elegantly, among these objects: libraries, TOPO fixtures, colours and gobos from the pickers, macros, menu items, groups, QLISTs, and other types of objects which are in Soft key format and parameters from the Pickers.

You can modify and customize the icons on the desktop as well as assigning ASCII keyboard "hot keys" to trigger the desktop shortcuts for fast programming and operation.

Also supplied is a bank of images, generic and related to the Vector, so users have the option to change and manipulate their own desktops images. You can define multiple "Desktops" and give each one a unique name.

There is now Faster Matrix chaser programming with animated gifs. Upon importing an animated gif for matrix programming, you just need to click on the "Create Chaser" Button in the Matrix view, assign cue time, the Qlist number and the amount of frames you wish to store in the chaser, and the system will create it for you.

There are many more features that were added, among them: improved and new Bi-directional communication for Downloading Thumbnails from Green Hippo V2+V3, ArKaos VJ and Catalyst; highlight/Lowlight Mode which enables you to remain in Highlight/Lowlight for jumping between fixtures for fast position programming and updating of your position libraries; improved System settings; improved networking capabilities; improved MIDI and MSC functionality; better show conversion from older Compulite consoles (4D/Sabre); a General "Face Lift" of the Vector menu icons for better visual look; re-wrote the Vector PC Panel and added extra features; 180 new devices and more generic devices for strobe and Smoke machines; PB Input patch which enables you to connect any DMX console to the Vector DMX Input; Vista computability for Vector PC; more features, bug fixes and improvements.

You can donwload the new version 3.17 from the Compulite web site.
