Citp in Resolume Arena v5

[tk11de]

Hi there around....now version 5 is released but I wonder if CITP is implemented?! I tried it directly with my light control software, but no configuration is done....seems there is no CITP implemented...is there any idea if it will come or not?

There is no CITP in Arena 5.

We've been talking to quite a few LDs over the last two years, and we've come to the conclusion that a good seamless integration with a lighting console requires more than just sending thumbnail data.

So we've held off on implementing CITP on Arena 5 and placed it on the roadmap for Arena 6.

+1 re: waiting for CITP/MSEX

There are a lot of bonus features in Arena 5, no argument with that. Just being able to see content at the console can be the difference between a server being easily controllable or not. Resolume is more complex than old skool DMX controlled media servers and so obviously 'just' being able to see thumbnails does not equal seamless integration.

However, it does make that bit of difference and considering Resolume is a highly featured and affordable media server for the use of LDs (not just VJs), it's a huge shame that this was left off the version 5 release.

Damn,

well I guess next time I should read about new features before I buy an upgrade.
Too late now...
Citp was all I wanted

Would be cool to create a program to controll res 5 with a touchscreen. I have a touch screen now but the resolution is too low to use it with the resolume interface.

There are overlays available on the market that can be applied to any monitor and connected via USB.
Another option for touch interface is to use TouchOSC via tablet.
