Rosco Laboratories KEYSTROKE

Keystroke allows you to run Power Point™ projections and sound cues from your light board.

Now you can cue such video playback programs as PowerPoint™, Keynote™ Quicktime™ or Windows Media Player and such sound playback programs as ProTools™, iTunes™, Garageband™ and SFX™ from your light board.

In fact, Keystroke, Rosco's new hardware/software solution allows your lighting control board to control virtually any software program running on an external computer. These include cues that require Microsoft Word™ or a video player or proprietary software controlling other features such as water effects, fountain choreography or scenery motion control

Keystroke™, available for both PC or Mac, is easy to install, easy to use and insures your sound, video and lighting cues are in sync. It may end forever your need to search for extra crew members or volunteers to push buttons on computers.

The Keystroke hardware electronically listens to the DMX channel (1 - 512) you assign in the Keystroke software. You will also define the commands the slave PC executes when Keystroke receives a predefined value at its DMX channel address. For example, if you were controlling a PowerPoint slide show with Keystroke, you could assign the value of 100% (255) to send the slave PC a space bar command to advance to the next slide.
