Automation allows smooth transitions, ambient scenes and dynamic settings, depending on the time of day, while allowing the user to operate the show without the need for technical knowledge.

CueCore3: the brain of the system

The controller, with solid state memory of four DMX universes 512 RDM, CueCore3 de Visual Productions acts as the main engine for manage the entire lighting installation and synchronization with the video system.

At specific times of the day, CueCore3 triggers light and video scenes adapted to the environment. In case of system restart due to lack of network or electrical current, Visual Productions always releases scheduled scenes preventing the stage from going dark.

Thanks to the advanced programming of the equipment, Calachica has a clear and reliable system that avoids common confusion in premises where there is no permanent technical operator..

Programming with MA3 + resolume + sACN

For recording dynamic scenes and effects, Alejandro Martínez has used the console grandMA3 Command Wing of MA Lighting, sending the show to CueCore3, which stores and plays all scenes autonomously. “Thanks to this function we can use the full potential of the tool with which we feel most comfortable and merge it with the reliability and simplicity of a solid state system”, explains.

The system has been designed to offer versatility and total simplicity, with control from tablets with personalized interface; Redundant PC connected by RJ45 to ensure operational continuity, so that the end user can configure the scenario without affecting the overall programming

For events that take place in Calachica, The DJ booth has a B-Station2 configured to activate effects and strobes live; launch pre-configured combined lighting and video scenes, as well as to maintain intuitive touch control, with backlit RGB buttons that display real-time system status and available options.

The B-Station2 keypad allows any DJ to interact with the lighting without prior training.

Video integration with Resolume

The premises' video system is based on Resolume, directly integrated with CueCore3 via OSC protocol. To facilitate its use, thumbnails of the effects of this equipment have been included on the touch screen..

The combination of both platforms allows fluid shows, dynamic and fully automated when the client needs it at their events, in a project designed to function autonomously.
