I Welcome to Compu Live
Prologue
Thank you for your interest in the Compu Live control software.
Our User Manual is divided into the following chapters:
1. Welcome to Compu Live
Quick start guide, Overview
2. Basic Programming
3. Intermediate Programming
4. Advanced Programming
5. General Settings
Appendices
In this manual, the most elemental concepts of lighting control are presented early on, followed by
increasingly more complicated software tools and functions as the manual progresses. Though our
software is designed to be simple to use and intuitive to learn, we strongly recommend beginner users
to read this manual consecutively, starting from the first chapters and so on. Intermediate and
advanced programmers will usually skip through sections without a problem.
This first chapter gives users a quick overall look at our software (essential if you are impatient like
most of us). We will walk you through the installation process for the software and the interface drivers.
Then we will play around with our preprogrammed DEMO shows. At the end of this chapter, we will
quickly show you how to add your own fixtures into the software, just in case you cannot wait to test
your own lighting fixtures.
The second chapter will show you the most elemental programming tools within the software. By the
end of this chapter, you should be able to program a decent looking show very quickly.
The third and the fourth chapter describe more advanced (not necessarily complicated) software tools.
This knowledge, along with a little practice, will allow you to create almost any lighting scene/effect your
fixtures can handle.
The fourth chapter briefly describes peripheral software tools in the Compu Live package, such as the
3D visualizer (Easy View), a profile/library editor (Scanlibrary), a music/video/lighting timeline
synchronization tool (Easy Show), and downloading scenes/shows into the internal memory of the
electronic interface (Easy Stand Alone).
The fifth chapter include several starting parameters the user should be familiar with, options for the
windows management and Backup/Technical support
Finally, you will find appendices that include a DMX512 review, MIDI review, list of available
accessories, and a troubleshooting guide.
