What it does
Hours back on every installation
Scene Cues and Fixture Layouts do not exist in the S-PLAY browser interface, and they are where most of the time goes: animation is generated rather than recorded. Everything the browser interface builds, this builds too.
Saves time
Update every S-PLAY from one place
Every S-PLAY on the network in one list, up to 250 of them. Pull a show off a unit to edit what is already running, or send a new one.
One tool, start to finish
Nothing else to licence, nothing else to learn, and no sitting through a real-time record. Build it here and save it natively.
Build it before the hardware arrives
Quote a job, design it and demo it before a single S-PLAY is bought. Programming never waits on a delivery date.
No hardware means no DMX output to your lights. Instead, build a fixture layout that matches your installation and use a Scene Cue to preview how it will look, choosing from nearly 30 animations.
Scene Cues and Fixture Layouts
An hour of animation is ready in about a minute, not an hour. Draw where the fixtures actually sit, pick a look, and it renders. The S-PLAY plays it back like any other cue.

Try it on the real rig, commit nothing
When the hardware is on the network, push the cue you are working on straight to the fixtures and watch it run. Nothing is written to a device until you deploy.
A show file you can hand over
Hand the client a .bak and the show outlives your laptop. If you cannot get on the site network, someone who is there can update it from the file.
Built for real installations
One company builds the software, builds the hardware, and answers the support ticket.
A Scene Cue is built per S-PLAY and covers that unit's 32 universes, so a single effect cannot span more than one unit. To run one effect across a multi-unit installation, record it from ELM instead.
See it end to end
The whole job, from your desk
Map the fixtures, render the animation, schedule the playlist, then send the show to every S-PLAY on the network. Pick the step you want to see.
Media to come: the full-flow screen recording, 16:9, about 4 minutes 5 seconds. Layout, then Scene Cue, then playlist, then deploy. Subtitles burned in, no voiceover.
