Group One’s Brad White, national sales manager for Avolites, is particularly excited about hitting the road again right after NAMM to show off the power of his brand’s new Titan version 10.1 software. “It’s not an overstatement to say that V10 represents another huge step for Avolites’ full range of Titan-based consoles,” he enthuses. “Not only does it offer a full Capture engine-powered 3D visualizer, it also features a new Intensity Grid, Freeform Workspaces and Comprehensive Undo/Redo function. Furthermore, our Pixel Mapper is now even more powerful with a new Motion Blur effect, Quicksketch tool, Gradient Fill and other exciting features. We can’t wait to show off how amazing this software platform is and how it will make every LD’s job even more fast, fun and fulfilling!”
