Show Control · New in 3.0.11
Chase SMPTE timecode with a cue stack, drive lighting over Art-Net and sACN, keep multiple machines bar-accurate with automatic failover, script the whole rig over HTTP and WebSocket, automate parameters on a keyframe timeline — and preview every cut before it hits the wall.
Visualz chases an external SMPTE master clock two ways: MIDI Time Code from your DAW or playback rig, or LTC — the audio timecode signal on a spare channel from the desk. Build a cue list against the show's timecode and every cue fires the instant the clock crosses it, at 24 / 25 / 29.97 / 30 fps. Rewind or scrub the master and the stack re-arms without re-firing — chase-engineer behavior, not a macro.
Cut or crossfade to a specific track (scene) the moment the clock crosses the cue.
Fire a clip column across every layer — the classic scene-launch, on timecode.
Apply a saved effect-chain snapshot at an exact moment in the show.
Kill to black, restore, or set the grand master to an exact level on cue.
Map the analysis engine straight onto lighting channels: any of the seven audio bands, a beat-flash envelope, the grand master fader, or fixed levels — per channel, per universe. Output speaks both Art-Net(unicast or broadcast) and sACN / E1.31 (multicast or unicast) at up to 44 Hz refresh, so the same rig that runs your walls can pulse the wash lights on the kick with zero extra hardware.
One machine leads; the rest chase over the LAN. The leader broadcasts BPM plus track, blackout, and master state, keeping a multi-wall rig bar-accurate and cutting together. If a follower loses its leader, it keeps the show running on its last-known state and flags the loss — no black wall while you swap a cable. (This is clock + state sync for multi-screen rigs, not hardware frame genlock.)
Everything the OSC surface can do, over the network stack every tool already speaks. POST /api/transport/tap, POST /api/layer/1/opacity with a value, or raw canonical commands via POST /api/osc — plus live rig state pushed over WebSocket. Perfect for Bitfocus Companion buttons, custom web panels, or a ten-line script. Localhost-only by default; opt into LAN exposure with a token.
Keyframe lanes over any bindable target — layer opacity, the master fader, effect parameters. The playhead runs in beats, locked to the live BPM, with step / linear / smooth interpolation per keyframe and a loop length you set. Build a slow one-bar breathe or a 64-bar arc and let it ride while you perform on top.
The parts that make a long night calm: preview before you cut, launches that land on the beat, a master you can ride, a UI you can lock, and a set that survives a crash.
Cue any track on a live preview monitor while the program keeps playing. Hit TAKE and it goes to the wall through your configured transition — exactly as previewed, no rebuild, no surprise.
Clip and scene launches snap to the next beat or bar. Queued pads pulse until they fire, so a slightly-early press still lands musically.
A continuous master intensity over the whole composite — MIDI, OSC, and API assignable. The smooth companion to blackout’s hard kill.
One tap locks the touch UI against a busy booth. MIDI, OSC, and keyboard stay live; press-and-hold the padlock to unlock. Hand the rig over without handing over the controls.
The working set snapshots to disk continuously. If the machine goes down mid-show, the next launch offers to restore exactly where you were.
Space for blackout, 1–8 for scene columns, arrows for tracks — plus full custom key mapping with Learn, through the same binding pipeline as MIDI.
