DMXShare

The advantage of the DMXShare layer is that in some shows you may want to control lights using both a conventional lighting desk and Disguise software. For example, Disguise is an extremely useful tool for creating pixel mapping content for the lights using the advanced content mapping system, but also for sequencing lights exactly to the beat by quantising an audio track. The Disguise software is also very good for controlling the movements of groups of lights. However, lighting desks give you more control over the movement of individual lights and are specialised to control lights very quickly. Based on these facts, there is a requirement to share the control of the lights between Disguise software and a lighting desk.
