Entertainment venues on a Mac
AV, media servers, cameras, IoT and the network behind the show.
The Clubs & Bars preset focuses on AV & stage, media servers, POS, CRM, cameras, IoT and the network/monitoring that keeps a venue running.
A supervisor for the show network
The Show Network pane makes the Mac the show's network supervisor. It tells you in one sentence what is on each network (Art-Net nodes and universes, sACN sources, NDI video, DJ players), shows each CDJ by player number with the DJM, rekordbox, BPM, Resolume and timecode, and with Arm Show alerts through your usual channels the moment a deck, the mixer, a lighting node or a video source disappears. Discovery only listens, and it gives way to rekordbox, QLab, Resolume and other show software running on the same Mac. Stages, festivals and touring crews can start from the Stage & Shows preset; any other setup can add the Show Supervisor add-on.
