Designed for lighting designers, technicians and riggers, Figment is a powerful application for wirelessly controlling multiple universes of DMX lighting via the popular family of CueServer DMX interfaces.

Since CueServer is responsible for storing shows, handling silky smooth crossfades, pumping out streaming DMX playback and calculating multiple submaster overlays, Figments low-bandwidth wireless communications are fast, reliable and work both over WiFi and 3G connections. Show playback continues even if your iOS device looses connection or is turned off. • Familiar DMX Control Commands Figment has a custom pop-up command line and keyboard combination that makes it easy to tap out familiar console commands.

Each user has their own playback space to set channel levels, run cues, execute macros, perform DMX diagnostics and more. The whole crew can test different parts of a rig at the same time. • DMX Diagnostics Leveraging CueServers DMX interface hardware, Figment provides several unique DMX diagnostic functions, such as a handy DMX Input "oscilloscope" with large-digit LED readout, a flicker-finder useful for tracking down tricky console problems, and a channel test function great for performing dimmer checks. Plus: • Control multiple universes of DMX by adding CueServer interfaces • Remote processing ensures "glitch-free" fades • Show data stored on CueServer hardware • Low-bandwidth communications works on both WiFi and 3G • Full access to show control and architectural features of CueServer • Automatic discovery of local CueServer devices Figment requires any one of five different models of CueServer DMX interface (from a basic DMX interface to a full-featured show control and architectural lighting processor) running firmware version 5.0 or higher and a WiFi wireless network or 3G connection via a publicly accessible IP address. Figment will also run without a CueServer interface for exploring the software.
