By now your probably thinking, nothing special… other desks can do similar things. You would be correct, but Vector has more powerful features up its sleeve. Built in bitmap capability, Desktop, Media Server integration (Hippo V3, Catalyst V4, Arkaos), Contextual Displays, Attach Files to Objects, Parameter Pickers, Macros, Softkey Colour Coding, and an Effects Engine ™ a Programmer would die for…

Chris Nathan, the video programmer, and Greg Shipley, the production designer, talk about how Compulite Vector consoles work with lighting and video:
Nathan says they rely on a Catalyst V4 media server and have three on this tour. He runs the video elements much as Shipley runs the lights. “That’s the beauty of running video from a Compulite console,” he says. “It does all the things that the lighting rig can do, fading content in and out, bumping the faders, creating white flashes for cymbal crashes – that’s what makes it really cool.

Compulite has posted a story about Vectors at Expo 2010, the international exposition in Shanghai.
King Chou, a Vector user:
Vector with its 16 DMX output, fast cue modification/delete functions and unmatched performance was perfect to create these many different changing scenes perfectly expressing the city themes.
The study hall in the “City Being” pavilion shows a bookshelf circled by numerous small lights “turned on layer by layer by the Vector Red signifying the long road of study” said King Chou. He added: “I like Vector. Not only because its control ability, ergonomic design, but also due to its multimedia functions and powerful DMX output. It is easy to operate, and the system is very stable”

Lighting programmer Tof Leuba recently had some good things to say about Compulite’s Vector consoles.
From Lighting and Sound America’s March 2010 issue – “Compulite Controls Lighting For Besix Group’s Centennial Show.”
I have been working with Compulite for more than 15 years; I like working with the Vector because it’s easy to patch, easy to change the devices when needed, and offers very quick and intuitive programming of the show.
