PWCOG Cognito2 Theatrical Console

Part Number(s) PWCOG DT 1024

PWCOG Theatrical Console, the Cognito2™ Theatrical Lighting Console, solves the complex task of programming shows that include incandescent dimmers, moving lights, and color-changing LED fixtures. Cognito2 features a streamlined, natural language interface to guide you through selecting lights from a vast fixture library, adjusting their attributes, and recording reference libraries, memories and cues.

Once programmed, the show is played back manually or by using show control, time code, or scripting inputs. Easy to use by novices but powerful enough to create complex looks and shows, the Cognito2 is ideal for school theatres, cafetoriums, places of worship, or anywhere a powerful but easy-to-use lighting console is needed.

pdf	Pathway Connectivity Pathport C-Series at National Music Forum in Wroclaw, Poland	The National Forum of Music (NFM), a brand-new, state-of-the-art concert venue in the heart of Wroclaw, opened on September 4th, 2015. The National Forum of Music is the largest multi-purpose center in Lower Silesia, Poland. The main aim of the center was to create a public institution comprising the Ministry of Culture and National heritage. The NFM needed to come up with a solution to help light all these separated theatres and rooms, without the hassle of cables and wiring. They chose City Theatrical wireless DMX solutions and Pathway Connectivity PATHPORT® C Series nodes in the NFM installation. “In our current situation with the National Forum of Music, we often come across the necessity of conversion of commonly used Ethernet signal into the Traditional DMX standard. The Ethernet signal simultaneously transmits multiple DMX signals and the Pathway node can isolate the desired DMX universe without the necessity of using extra power supplies- the power is being supplied by Ethernet due to POE option. The pathway node is extremely useful to use, the setting is configured from simple software from any computer. The greatest thing about the Pathway C-Series node is that it works impeccably no matter what project we’ve worked on.”
