Does anyone have any experience with the Blizzard software?

Does anyone have any experience with the Blizzard software?

Jonathan, I just started reviewing Lucid by Blizzard this week.  I had to contact Blizzard yesterday to add a profile for the ProPar 7-4.  The software seems to be fairly easy to use and I am trying to do everything without using the manual or video posts.  If I get hung-up then I will look at the manual or the videos.  We are looking at using two DMX Universes. One for conventional lighting and one for LED.

If you decide to give it a try, let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Bill

How are you getting your universes out?

How are you getting your universes out?

Art, We are using the Lucid 180IQ.  Using 1 Universe for conventional lighting and the second for dmx lighting.

We probably could have gotten by with the Lucid 140IQ using 1 Universe, but this is my first time using a software controller and I didn't want to have to buy another interface if I expand my system.

Bill,


I've gotten my Eclipse software installed with a large collection of blizzard fixtures - and for the most part am satisfied. However, I've contacted Blizzard for two different profiles (ProPar 74 and Pixelstorm 240) with no luck (it's been a week). I've also contacted them about some other basic issues….


Do you have any perspective on the functional differences between Eclipse and Lucid?


Thanks,

Jonathan, I did not use the Eclipse software so I can't really tell you much about it.  If you will send me an email I will send you the profile for the Blizzard ProPar 7-4.

Thanks.

I'm using Luminaire on an iPad.  Out to universe by router and Enntec compatible Ethernet to DmXbox from dmxKing.

i'm controlling 16 Led Slim Pars from Chauvet and Stellar Labs.  Thinking about haze, movers and/or '6 bar pin spot' fixtures for more scene creation.  Not sure i see the ROI on that yet though.

I went luminaire primarily for size.  It is not the easiest thing on the planet as basically you start from scratch.  Might be nice if there were some basic chase options in there ...  I get that being 'universal' means that they don't know what kind of fixture is sitting at any specific address.  Still it seems like a reasonably simple thing to be automated.  Making it harder was the fact that i started as a complete noob in the lighting arena.  So take it with a grain of salt...

I have had a couple of support interactions with them and those have been very positive.  Nice folks to work with.

So after about three months of working with Eclipse - I'm looking at another install, but thinking about Lucid. The Eclipse software is nice and easy enough, but has enough limitations I'd rather not install it again. It's working nice for all the young kids programming it each weekend, they're getting good experience & creative output...

Why does it seem to me that the Lucid software is functionally identical to Lumidesk - is it just rebranded?

On that note - does anyone have any hands on experience with Lumidesk - or maybe Bill can offer a follow up on his Lucid experience?

usually the case with alot of the cheaper software solutions....

you can either choose to get a enttec DMX USB Dongle and use the Martin MPC software...amazing, limited to 1 universe, but very easy to use and program...i have installed this software in a lot of places, and so far everything works no issues...
