Show controller for complex shows and attractions

Medialon Showmaster Pro is an all-in-one embedded show controller that offers all the show protocol interfaces you need. Control and synchronise dimmers, lighting desks, video projectors, video servers, sound processors, etc. You can also call on 16 digital inputs, 16 relay outputs, and balanced Timecode input/output with video reference.

An easy drag-and-drop programming interface lets you create up to 10 custom HTML touch screen (WebPanel) interfaces.

Showmaster Pro supports third party networked Serial, I/O, Infrared, MIDI, and DMX interfaces.

Specifications

OpenCapXML Plugin for Unity®

  • For interactive games or generative media applications, Unity programmers can access Tasks and Variables in Medialon show control systems using the OpenCapXML plugin for Unity.
  • This plugin makes it easy for Unity programmers to link to Medialon Manager and Showmaster projects to trigger tasks, update variable values in the Medialon project, and subscribe to variable value updates from the Medialon project.
  • With the OpenCapXML plugin for Unity, Medialon control systems become a bridge between the virtual (Unity®) world and the physical world where devices (such as lighting equipment, audio playback, fans, smell generators, heat lamps, water misters, vibration transducers, and video projection/displays) can all work together to tell an interactive story using a built environment, and can even be pre-programmed and debugged before sending to site by mocking it up in the virtual environment.
  • Please note that while Medialon Manager V7.1 is compatible with Showmaster Pro and Showmaster LE hardware, only more recent models have the required motherboard in them. The upgrade is a paid upgrade that requires additional hardware to be installed. Eligible Showmasters can be sent to 7thSense to be upgraded, but the upgrade is not something which can be performed by end users or systems integrators. Please contact us for more information and to enquire about compatibility of your Showmaster hardware with Medialon Manager 7.1.
