Tell Your Lights Where to Go with Vocus from Enttec
Vocus is a new Windows-based application that literally lets an operator tell the lights what they want them to do, by allowing vocal commands to control DMX lighting systems.
Vocus was developed to make the process of focusing lights quicker and simpler. Rather than hauling your console down to the stage and climbing up and down ladders to change levels, or having someone else man the console, you simply plug any standard microphone into your computer - wireless mics are ideal - and use standard voice commands to control DMX levels. Vocus converts your voice into DMX signals, and outputs them to your dimmers or moving lights through a USB or Ethernet interface.
Compatible equipment includes Enttec’s Open DMX USB Interface and DMXEthergate, and Art-Net enabled interfaces. Vocus can even provide limited control of LightFactory – Enttec’s Lighting Control Software package.
Vocus uses voice recognition software that is trained by you in your own voice, so it always understands you. Controlled by logical, standard commands, such as “Channel 7 at full” and “Channel 4 thru 46 fade to 50”, Vocus is very easy to operate. You can control up to 512 channels, making it ideal for theatres, churches, schools, pub gigs – just about anywhere you have a DMX control system and a computer.
You can download a limited demonstration version of Vocus for free today from the enttec website.
