6.3 - New Show Control Options
Are you familiar with the feeling of wanting your lighting system to interact with other
equipment, and you know it should be possible, but not how easy it can be?
Congo 6.3 integrates Open Sound Control (OSC), a content format for messaging among
computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices. OSC is often used as an
alternative to MIDI, when higher performance, higher resolution and a richer parameter
space is desired.
Here are some examples of situations where OSC can be useful:
• Customize remote control by extracting control surfaces from the console such as
master faders and playback buttons to any computer, iPad®, iPhone®, Android™ or
similar touch interface...
• Customizing data views such as master and playback status from your lighting
system into other equipments...
• Integrating lighting with sensory devices of any kind such as switches, light sensors,
Nintendo Wii™ remote or sound to light over third party OSC software such as
Isadora or Max/MSP
