WYSIWYG by CAST LIGHTING
 
There are five products of WYSIWYG and variations within these products.  The products are WYSIWYG Report, WYSIWYG Design, WYSIWYG Perform WYSIWYG Learn and WYSIWYG Network.
 
WYSIWYG Report

The basic CAD package, WYSIWYG Report, allows you to create CAD plans of your productions supported by a completely integrated paperwork database. Create and output scaled lighting plots and lighting paperwork, including fixture schedules, hook-ups, pipe tapes, color and gobo lists. Designers, design assistants, console operators, and electricians will find this to be an invaluable tool. WYSIWYG Report provides an easy solution for people who want to use computers to simplify the design process.

 

The WYSIWYG Design package allows lighting professionals to explore their designs in a virtual environment. Users can create 3D CAD plans of their productions supported by a completely integrated paperwork database and rendering engine. Designers and design assistants will benefit from WYSIWYG Design's ability to output full photorealistic pictures of their proposed designs. Finally, lighting designers can show the rest of the design team exactly what they are trying to achieve rather than relying on words to communicate complex visual ideas.

 
WYSIWYG Perform

The WYSIWYG Perform package allows lighting professionals to pre-cue entire shows in real time. Users can create 3D CAD plans of their productions supported by a completely integrated paperwork database, rendering engine, and simulation module. A DMX console or a compatible off line editor can be connected to the computer and WYSIWYG Perform will simulate the exact effect of the console's/editor's output in real-time. Designers and console operators will find the ability to begin programming before arriving at the venue to be an indispensable, time-saving tool. (Connecting to a console for pre-cueing requires a WYG-it2 or compatible Ethernet interface.)

WYSIWYG Perform is available in 500, 1000, and 2000 channel versions.
