Position Generator

Overview​

Position Generator is a tool for creating and storing position data on Avolites Titan consoles. The application consists of three main sections — Console Connection, Fixture Config, and Shapes — along with four action buttons: Generate Shape, Store, Save, and Open. A status bar at the bottom of the interface displays the current connection state.

Position Generator creates positions relative to a selected position palette. This means that by referencing a base palette (such as your "Forward" or "Home" position), updating your show for different venues becomes straightforward — simply update the reference palette on the console and regenerate the positions with Position Generator. Recalling your configuration is easy, as Position Generator allows you to save and open presets.

If you have an MVR file of your rig, the MVR Fixture Importer can generate group layouts based on 3D position data — ready to use with Position Generator. Note that this feature is experimental.
