Visual Productions have released a new version of the VisualTouch lighting software that runs on Apple's Mac OS X.

With VisualTouch you can remotely trigger and operate lighting cues and various other functions of the VisualDMX and Canvix software lighting controllers. It allows for a user-friendly and foolproof control of the DMX-512 lighting installation, preventing the user from accidently erasing the programmed cues.

Due to its network structure, multiple VisualTouch applications - even mixing Windows and Mac OS - can be used together.

VisualTouch is the first software application from Visual Productions to become available on a platform other than Windows. Director Maarten Engels says: "We started redesigning our complete software base two years ago to become platform independent. It underlines our continuous quest for developing the most user friendly lighting control software; instead of dictating one platform, we offer software versions to match the user's favourite choice in operating systems.

VisualTouch is released on the Mac first; future releases of our other software products will offer multiple platforms as well."

Both Mac and Windows versions of VisualTouch can be downloaded free of charge from the Visual Productions Website and will be demonstrated during the PLASA08 show in London at stand D8.
