Device Control

Supports standard communications protocol, including RS-232, RS-422, MIDI and DMX, as well as relay closures and 1-10 volt analog control.
Modular, plug-in interface cards promote simple troubleshooting and system maintenance.

Time-line based using a Cue Track for each device, similar to non-linear video editors.
Show creation utilizes a vertical time-line cursor to position the show time/cue from a palette of possible devices and cues.
Supports drop and drag, cut and paste using standard Windows commands and keyboard shortcuts.
Cues can contain comments and/or operator messages, which also function as location markers for randomly accessing a specific event in a long show.
Group tracks allow tandem control of large groups of devices with a single cue entry.
Status display and control panel for each device is displayed for user convenience.
Interactive controls allow direct, manual control from the computer with real-time updating of device status.
Allows show import from a variety of formats, including Spitz ATM-3.
Scripting of ATM-4 shows can be performed off-line.
Allows the integration of digitized slides and videos into the device tracks, giving the capability of creating realtime or automated versions of legacy shows into fulldome systems such as SciDome.
The system is password-protected for several levels of user access.

Show playback control by internal clock, or from external SMPTE (24 fps, 25 fps or 30 fps) time code.
Tracks may be record-enabled to create cues in realtime (synchronization of a lighting effect with a soundtrack).

Allows live presentation for live audience interaction with a presenter.
Includes a Manual Console screen within ATM-4 to facilitate interactive presentations.
