Detailed description

• Prism is currently a free to download specialised software application developed by Avolites, principally for lighting designers, tailored for media playback and designed specifically for the live events and entertainment industry. Prism allows for the use of multiple banks and layers to be controlled right inside Prism’s UI or via the Synergy layer control.
• Prism is composed of two parts – the Server and the UI. The UI itself provides the main functions and a common interface for the software. When the UI is closed, Prism can still run its server in the system tray. This allows the features set to still be controlled with Titan to run a show, even on the same machine as Prism, this has the advantage of increased flexibility, as well as reducing overhead cost.
• With the fully featured Prism One release, currently scheduled for the Spring 2025, downloads will switch to being a paid licence level. In the meantime, this latest ‘Early Access’ point release of Prism (v1.3) gives significant updates across the Prism suite of applications: Prism, Prism Player, Prism Zero.
