<br />
QLC is a lighting controller for Linux. Started as a university project by Heikki Junnila, it has now evolved with an active development community.<br />
In 2009 it was released for Mac Os and Windows also.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Features:'''<br />
* Fixture-oriented interface.<br />
* Four DMX universes, 512 channels each<br />
* Fast changing and smoothly fading scenes and chasers<br />
* Easy creation of complex patterns for moving lights with EFX<br />
* Conjure your favourite lighting desk layout with the virtual console™<br />
* Support for external fader devices such as the [http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCF2000.aspx Behringer BCF-2000]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''DMX output''' is provided using:<br />
* the driver system [[OLA]] (via a plugin to QLC), allowing DMX ouput using various DMX over IP protocols and [[Enttec]] [[DMX USB Pro]]. (for Linux, Mac OS and Windows, not all drivers work on all platforms)<br />
* the Peperoni [[Rodin1]] (well tested) interface, plugin named peperoni-output (Linux (requires kernel driver) and Windows)<br />
* the Enttec [[DMX USB Pro]] and [[Open DMX USB]] (Windows and Linux, Mac OS, tested rather well)<br />
* [[Anyma uDMX]] (Windows, Linux and probably Mac OS but not well tested)<br />
<br />
At the moment there are most drivers for Linux and fewest for Windows. In v. 3.0 the plugin for [[OLA]] (formerly LLA) is not included/enabled per default.<br />
<br />
'''Inputs'''<br />
<br />
QLC can be controlled by [[MIDI]] eg. from [http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCF2000.aspx Behringer BCF-2000] and support for a [[Enttec]] wing may be added.<br />
Sound synchronization is not supported [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=5d3d60e90904131158r29d01e65i9e7a7ea7f61db8d%40mail.gmail.com]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Fixtures'''<br />
<br />
Fixture definitions are used to map generic functions of a fixture like intensity, pan, tilt etc. to the specific DMX channels and values.<br />
You can create your own fixture definitions to suit your needs, but there are a number of ready-made definitions [http://qlc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/qlc/trunk/fixtures/ listed here]!<br />
