Designer Software

Freedom to focus on creativity not technology

Unison Mosaic Designer Software provides the framework for creating your unique work of art. Everything you need is here: from importing project plans for system layout, to positioning lighting fixtures and other devices in the plan, to editing triggers and timelines, picking specific colors, programming special effects, mapping pixels to an array, playing back video clips, visualizing the results, and uploading your show. 

Unlimited control

Before, your only option was to program your show on a lighting control console and capture it on a playback device. That is a limited way to control lighting and other effects -- it can only reproduce its output as programmed, with no opportunity for interaction.

With Mosaic -- you don't need a console.

You already have one - inside the Designer Software. You directly create a real show in real time using your Mac or PC. Even after uploading the show, you have all the features you'd need to influence and modify your design to be interactive with the outside world. Each of your projects is unique - seemingly 'one off.' Wouldn't you like to turn to one software solution, time and time again, for all your projects -- without needing a computer science degree? Unison Mosaic Designer Software melds the capabilities of a lighting control console, the flexibility of a media server, and the precision of a PLC to empower you to achieve your artistic visions -- on time and on budget.

Mosaic Designer Software guides you through your projects with a trove of tools at each step.

DesignView  allows you to import images to form the basis of your lighting design so that fixtures and other elements reflect your project team's architectural plans.FixtureManager's  deep library of multi-attribute fixtures gives you drag-and-drop access to your LEDs, moving lights, and other devices -- including those from different manufacturers. Designer even has a dedicated interface for pan/tilt and beam control of moving lights.

Create an infinite mosaic of show looks with Designer's TimeSlice . Program each element of your design using visual, timeline-based blocks. Use ColorPick , Designer's powerful color selector to change intensity and hue, which are then displayed on the timeline itself. EasyFX  brings out the artistry of your design with a comprehensive range of customizable special effects. Moving lights have their own dedicated programming interface to avoid complicating the primary intensity and color controls. And you can place fixture and design elements on the same timeline for seamless coordination across the entire show.

Chart new territory.  Designer's PixelMap  goes way beyond traditional lighting effects allowing you to define a group of fixtures as a virtual screen and then play back static or video images on it. Use this as true video playback across an LED array or to generate dynamic and fluid color effects across large numbers of LEDs and other fixtures. The Mosaic Show Control system replaces separate lighting control and video pixel-mapping systems that would be required otherwise.

TriggerManager  links your presentation to the outside world by allowing specific TimeSlices to be linked to either external inputs or real-time events (including 'sunrise' and 'sunset'). You can also place conditions on triggers so that an event will only occur if a series of requirements are met. ControlView  transforms your design elements into a simulation environment for viewing your project before installation -- including the ability to test triggers and show-programming. With LiveControl , if Mosaic Controllers are connected during simulation you can output the show directly to the fixtures themselves. The Mosaic RealEngine  ensures an accurate representation of your show --whether in software simulation or when played live via the hardware.
