Get The Easy-To-Use & Platform Independent Lighting Control Solution With Elation Emulation Control Software

The Elation Emulation is a DMX 512 lighting controller for intelligent lights, LED, dimmers, lasers and various other effects. The program is platform-independent and available on Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

The software is shipped with a USB-to-DMX adapter cable, compliant with the new DMX512-A standard. Key to the design of Emulation is its intuitive graphical user-interface. It is specifically designed to reduce the amount of time required to learn how to operate the software. Combined with its affordable price, Emulation is available to a large audience pro lighting users who want an easy to use powerful lighting control software.

Multi-Platform

You can use Emulation on your preferred platform; it is available on Mac OS X and Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7, 8, 10.

DMX512A + Art-Net

Emulation software is shipped with a USB to DMX interface. The interface sends out 512 channels through a ESD protected DMX512-A port. Once the hardware interface is plugged in your computer the DMX data is duplicated over Art-Net. This is also useful for connecting to 3rd party visualizers.

Industry-Standard Cuelist System

The Cuelist system in Emulation, used for programming light sequences, is analog to the systems used on larger lighting consoles. It features separate Delay, Fade in & Fade out timing and comes with a shape generator and programmer window.

Sub-Fixtures

Emulation uses the concept of sub-fixtures. This means that some fixtures consist of multiple sub-fixtures, like a 10-channel dimmer rack is - in our terms - just one fixtures with 10 sub-fixtures. This also works for LED fixtures with multiple segments/pixels. In this manner the maximum of 48 will not be reached that quickly (you can add 48 x 10 = 480 dimmer channels). The reason behind the concept of sub-fixtures is that it makes patching easier; you only add the physical fixtures to your patch and you don’t have to worry about setting starting addresses per dimmer channel, or worse, per LED segment.
