Getting Started and General Workflow - Show Control Editor

Modified on Mon, 28 Sep at 4:42 PM

The Show Control Editor allows you to create event broadcasting projects for compatible Waves System players in the most user-friendly and simple way possible. Before starting programming, ensure you have all the necessary elements for this operation and that your hardware and software are properly configured.


Software and Hardware Configuration

Transferring Programs to the Player

Programs created with Waves System Show Control software are saved as a file. This file will then be copied to the media used by the player. Depending on the player model, you can use:

  • USB connection,
  • copying to the media itself (USB drive, SD card, hard drive...),
  • Ethernet connection,
  • transfer via CD/DVD.


Software Configuration

Waves System Show Control software does not require any special configuration. Upon launch, the software is ready to use.


Project workflow

The purpose of a project is to define the player’s behavior by programming events over time. These events can be synchronized with an audio or video file. A project can also be created without an audio or video file.

A project can include DMX tracks as well as optional output contact and serial communication tracks.

Project workflow:

  1. Create a new project.
  2. Define the project duration or use an audio or video file as the reference.
  3. Configure the tracks required for the project.
  4. Place and configure events on the different tracks.
  5. Save the project.
  6. Export the Show Control file appropriate for the player being used.
