A unique PC based lighting control system, LightFactory offers a no compromise approach in blending traditional dimmer controls with a fully featured moving lights suite, and the latest in multi-media capabilities. LightFactory was designed with the idea that every lighting engineer, operator, or designer could own his or her own control system. One system they are completely familiar with, that works for every situation they face, and one they can rely on every time. Most PC based control systems attempt to mimic the consoles they replace with a focus on moving light support, LightFactory closes the gap with the traditional console in a revolutionary, software based solution at a remarkable price point.
