See the light in pre-visualization

Maximize your creativity. Save time and money! Use wysiwyg to pre-cue your show.

With the addition of a simulation component, wysiwyg Perform is an end-to-end, comprehensive, all-in-one solution. 3D CAD, paperwork, rendering, and pre-visualization are integrated into one sophisticated tool. A DMX console or compatible offline editor can be connected to the computer and wysiwyg Perform will simulate the exact effect of the console/editor's output in real time.

Layout your cue structure and have the console programmed before you even get to the venue. Guarantee that what you see is what you get. wysiwyg Perform is the ideal solution for designers and console operators who need to maximize their time onsite and cut production costs.

Use wysiwyg to win projects and to coordinate and gain the confidence of your production team by presenting photo-realistic renderings of your proposed designs. And don't forget that wysiwyg is green - good for the environment, which is also a big advantage of your bid and a big bonus when competing for big events.

wysiwyg Perform is designed specifically for production professionals.  It offers a customized 3D CAD application with searchable libraries comprising more than 20,000 lights and automated fixtures, trusses, gels, gobos, etc. What’s more, the wysiwyg is a fully integrated paperwork database – any change made at any point is reflected instantly throughout the project.  Its strong previz in Shaded View competes with its infamous renderings. Power users can previz and plot the entire event without even stepping into the venue!  The ability to import files from many sources, its simple 3D CAD suite, the new super-friendly UI, robust dependability and portability are only a few of the tributes that make wysiwyg the software of choice by all production professionals and the reputation for being indubitably the industry standard.

What does Perform do over Design?

Comparing the list of additional functions available in Perform to Design in the Product Comparison, the premium price for Perform indicates the significant importance of connecting to consoles and, with that, the huge time and $$ savings delivered chiefly by CAST's copyright protected innovations called AutoFocus^TM and AutoPatch^TM.

AutoFocus^TM is the protocol that wysiwyg uses to "talk back" to a compatible console. Using the mouse in a Wireframe view or using the concept shortcuts and design tools at any time, you can direct the console to select fixtures, set focus, and control intensity, iris, and colour. Autofocus is connected through MIDI, Serial, or Ethernet.

AutoPatch^TM is a protocol by which wysiwyg can transfer the patch hookup to a compatible console. AutoPatch is only available in wysiwyg Perform. You must be connected to a compatible console for this feature to be enabled. All ports for which you want the patch information to be transferred must be properly bound. Only the hookup information in patch universes bound to the console's outputs will transfer.
