Cue List View and Channel Grid View
Tapping once on the Playback area for any cue list opens the ‘Cue List View’. Tapping a second time on the display opens the ‘Channel Grid View’ for the currently ‘Live’ cue. Both views are programmer interactive where fade times, attribute times, playback properties and channel levels may be quickly and easily edited and updated. Spreadsheet functions such as copy, paste and ‘select range to edit’ provide a powerful editing tool for cues, pallets and chase steps.

From Rock …

Tiger Touch – the Ultimate hybrid of Live Control and touch screen functionality! High-speed button response, Programmable Macros, Add and Solo on every Playback and Live Pallet Recall - stay in the mix with Tiger Touch!

To Opera …

Theatre playback offers overall Master Level and separate control for In fade, Out fade and LTP fades. Multiple timed cues within cue lists all containing text legends and notes. Cues can Autoload other playbacks and run macros to configure the console. Theatre controls include Go, Stop and Fade Reverse functions.

TITAN Operating System is the future of Avolites Software.

       Packed with innovation, TITAN is the realisation of three design goals:

• Taking advantage of the speed and power offered by multi-threading programs in Intel's Dual Core processors.
• Enabling Tiger Touch users to access and benefit from powerful features developed
  for Diamond 4 Consoles.
• Offering a clean and coherent programming and replay environment for the Tiger Touch.
  
  

TITAN has been created as a "Clean Sheet". It's fresh, clear design is fast and elegant to use. Avolites will continue to develop the TITAN Operating System and these benefits are continuously offered to users ongoingly at no extra charge under Avolites policy of "Free Upgrades for the Life of the Console".

retaining the friendly Pearl interface that we all know and love.
