Elevator Pitch

DigiShow LINK

DigiShow is open-source software for live performances and art installations, offering intuitive control of audio, lighting, robotics, and interactive devices.

Product Description

How It’s Innovative

DigiShow introduces a novel approach to real-time multimedia control and performance by seamlessly integrating MIDI, OSC, DMX, and other protocols into a unified interface. Unlike traditional show control systems that require complex programming, DigiShow offers an intuitive workflow based on signal link table, allowing artists and performers to visually map inputs to outputs with minimal setup. Its cross-platform compatibility (Windows/macOS/Linux) and support for multiple show control standards make it a versatile tool for interactive installations, live performances, and multimedia productions.

Most Inspiring Use Cases

One of the most inspiring applications of DigiShow is its use in live audiovisual (AV) performances, where artists synchronize music, lighting, and video projections in real time using MIDI controllers or sensors. For example, a musician could trigger DMX lighting changes, video clips, and sound effects simultaneously during a concert, creating an immersive experience. Additionally, DigiShow has been used in interactive art installations, where motion sensors or touch inputs dynamically alter visual and audio outputs, blending technology with creativity. Mobile/tablet companion web apps are also ready for remote control.

Expansion Plans

DigiShow aims to evolve in several directions:

– Cloud synchronization to enable collaborative, multi-device show programming.

– AI-driven automation (e.g., generative content triggering based on sensor input).

– Educational resources (tutorials, workshops) to grow the user base among artists and engineers.

The goal is to position DigiShow as a leading open-source platform for interactive multimedia control, bridging gaps between audio, visual, lighting and interactive technologies.

Commercialization

DigiShow is currently available as free, open-source software to encourage community adoption and experimentation. Future commercialization strategies may include:

– Pro/Enterprise versions with advanced features (e.g., timeline scripting, multi-user collaboration).

– Paid licensing for commercial use in professional theaters, festivals, and installations.

– Partnerships with hardware manufacturers (e.g., MIDI controllers, lighting systems) for bundled solutions.

– Custom development services for large-scale projects requiring tailored integrations.
