The combination of software and hardware creates the package named Sweetlight Box.
Sweetlight Design Software provides the ultimate solution for lighting control. It offers the possibility of direct user control, from simple “par cans” to the most complex intelligent light, with a PC, the software and the interface. A PC is loaded with software to build and control the lighting show, connecting to the interface via a USB port.
The interface can also run the lighting show by itself. The interface retains the data in a non-volatile memory, so that hard drive failure or loss of data will not interrupt the show. The software is designed to be very user-friendly and can easily be used by even those whose knowledge of computers is limited. We have a range of interfaces, adapted to the various lighting applications.

STAND ALONE screen
For total security PC-Pro can run in stand-alone mode. The interfaces have an internal memory that can store up to 14 different scenes. This enables you to program up to 14 light shows and store them in the interface for later recall without the need of a computer. This system is not only ideal for backup during big shows, but also to run stand alone installations where simple use is important, like exhibitions and architectural lighting. Depending on the model, the interface can store from 1 to 14 scenes, which can be swapped or added together. Power failure does not affect the interface memory. |
