Announcing Advatek ToolboxAdvatek has announced the Advatek Toolbox: a growing collecting of browser-based utilities designed to make PixLite Mk3 planning, configuration, and content workflows easier to manage. Toolbox seeks to bring practical tools together in one place. Each tool is focused on a specific task that can otherwise require manual calculation, repeated testing or additional preparation before a project reaches the controller. SHOWTime Studio and PixLite Refresh Rate Lookup are the first tools to be released. SHOWTime Studio provides a browser-based environment for creating, generating effects, previewing and modifying looping effects and recordings intended for PixLite Mk3's onboard playback engine SHOWTime. It gives users a simpler way to prepare content before completing transfer, configuration and playback testing on the controller. PixLite Mk3 Refresh Rate Lookup uses over 100,000 points of measured PixLite Mk3 performance data to help you choose a pixel setup or check an existing one. It keeps output refresh, pixel PWM and camera planning separate so that one value is not mistaken for another, combining measurements with the Advatek Pixel glossary. Advatek Toolbox is designed to support the work ancillary to the installation, from early planning through to configuration and commissioning preparation. The tools provide useful guidance while keeping final validation with the user. Over time tools will be added based on user feedback, the company says, to continue removing friction from projects.
