The task of taking control of a show has always relied on the user being able to access the machine on which the show sits. Whether by costly KVM extension, or awkward positioning of personnel and equipment at times, the operator of the show has always had to be physically connected to the Sequencer/Control system running things… until now.
Introducing Ovation WebServer
Through a standard web interface (Safari, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer etc) it is now possible to access your show from anywhere, over standard HTTP. Log into your show and see cue lists, cues, firing and show controls for any application where it is just not feasible to connect physically to the machine. Run a rehearsal with your iPhone, provide timing information to the Pit conductor and provide limited access to cue firing for the stage manager or other staff.
Written using basic JavaScript (white paper provided with every option purchase) and able to provide multiple access points to a single show, this also provides the ultimate tool for creating custom-made, fixed installations and exhibits where “black box” style configurations are needed.
