Baxter Controls Releases BCIconsole App on iTunes

You heard about Baxter Controls coming out with an iOS app back at LDI 2009 and again this year at LDI 2010.  Just a couple weeks after LDI 2010, Baxter Controls releases BCIConsole on the iTunes App Store.

BCIConsole is a live control application for DMX controlled lighting systems. This easy to use hand held DMX lighting control console gives you a remote patchable control system in the palm of your hand on your iPhone or iPod touch when connected to a BCI Pocket Console DMX NET port.

You have 36 patchable channels of level control. Each channel can be patched to any DMX address. You can patch all 512 DMX addresses and any channel can control from 0 to all 512 addresses. There is also a dimmer and channel check function with the check level selectable by the user.

The BCI Pocket Console DMX NET port allows merging of your existing console data with input from BCIConsole as well as having a DMX pass-through port. Merging is on a highest takes precedence basis.

BCIConsole App offers:

  • Automatic connection to the Pocket Console DMX NET port
  • All 512 DMX addresses
  • 36 Patchable Channels
  • Dimmer and Channel Check with Solo option
  • Grand Master
  • Bump Channel to Master

Baxter Controls Pocket iPhone DMX App

Bxter Controls - Virtual Pocket ConsoleDuring LDI 2009, I got a chance to stop by the BCI or Baxter Controls booth to take a look at his latest product, the iPhone Virtual Pocket Console app. The iPhone app is still under development and is not ready for release as of yet.  BCI did have a beta version of the App on their iPod Touch running the booth and the Par-B-Q cooker.

The Virtual Pocket Console App utilizes wireless network protocol to control DMX.  The iPhone/iPod Touch connect to the BCI Pocket Console Net/DMX converter box to translate the signal to 5-pin DMX. I am still a little unsure if BCI is using Art-Net or not, but time will tell.

The Virtual Pocket Console can Patch up an entire universe of DMX512 and give you the ability to check dimmers, channel levels, and record simple looks.

A time frame or pricing has not been released yet.  I am expecting to see something more about the iPhone app in the first quarter of 2010.
