For decades, their Titan operating system has powered some of the largest concerts, televised events, and theatrical productions globally.

Whether you are a freelance lighting programmer, a small venue operator, or a student looking to break into the industry, understanding the Avolites Titan PC Suite is a career-defining skill. This article provides an exhaustive deep dive into what the software is, how to use it, its hardware requirements, and why it is changing the landscape of lighting control. At its core, the Avolites Titan PC Suite is the software engine from Avolites’ flagship consoles (like the Arena and Quartz) repackaged for standard personal computers. It is not a "stripped-down" version; it is the full operating system. The suite allows users to build complex cue lists, manage thousands of fixtures, apply pixel mapping effects (Titan Pixel Mapper), and control media servers—all from a mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen.

I believe in love. I believe in compassion. I believe in human rights. I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
