Luminair 3 Released for iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch

	Luminair is a lighting control app built for designers and professionals working in live-entertainment, film and TV production and other creative outlets like architectural and decorative lighting.

Synthe FX has announced the immediate availability of Luminair 3 for iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. Luminair is a professional-grade lighting control app that gives lighting designers, creative professionals, and other enthusiasts advanced wireless control over DMX lights, as well as the next generation of "smart" lights like Philips Hue. The app utilizes open standards to send lighting control commands Art-Net or sACN E1.31 compliant lighting equipment from any manufacturer.

Luminair 3 is a brand new universal app which has been optimized for 64-bit processors, and introduces a redesigned user-interface focused on increased productivity. The modernized UI scales to any iOS device resolution, and presents the user with a cohesively designed feature-set and experience across all device types.

The new FX-engine in Luminair 3 is a feature for lighting control on mobile devices, and offers users the ability to generate dynamic changes in lighting and movements using a movement generator, oscillator, and automated color FX all within a single scene.

New built-in scheduling features open up the ability to use Luminair as the centerpiece of architectural and "architainment" lighting venues. A simple user interface for adding and editing schedules makes it easy to set up daily and single events to trigger scenes at a specific date or time.

"Luminair 3 is by far the largest upgrade in the history of the app and breaks new ground for the future of mobile lighting control," says founder Ryan Hisey. "The success of the previous version has allowed us to dedicate even more development and design resources to the software, resulting in an app that's now a true contender to a traditional lighting console for many projects. As a software-based product, users can expect many new improvements in future updates."
