The DNA Of Lighting Control

To paraphrase Carl Sagan, if you want to develop a lighting console from scratch, you must first invent the universe. Even simple lighting control features have a deep history behind them, and decisions that are made at the beginning of a project can have a long-lasting impact on future development.

In this discussion, we will delve into the mysteries of control philosophy and why understanding your console's DNA makes you a better programmer.

This session will be about how we got here, not where we are headed. It is open to anyone who has ever wondered: 'Why does my lighting console do what it does, and what were the developers thinking?'
