Cognito Comes Out of the Shadows!

Posted on: By:
Pathway Cognito Control Console

Natural language control comes to lighting programming. Never again will you need a DMX look-up chart.

Cognito won’t intimidate the less-experienced user and won’t disappoint the most demanding professional. The CognitoTM console solves the complex task of programming shows for systems that include incandescent dimmers, moving lights and color changing LED fixtures. Cognito is network-ready and features a streamlined user interface to guide you through the process of selecting lights, adjusting their attributes, and recording reference libraries, memories and cues. Once programmed, the show is played back manually or with sequenced playlists.

Hurricane Sandy

Posted on: By:

We’d like to take a moment to express our sympathy to any of our friends and customers who may have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. We hope that you’re all okay out there! Seeing the photos and video from New York, New Jersey, and even Maryland’s own Eastern Shore reminded us how very fortunate we were to have only “suffered” through a few hours without power and some minor damages.

As you return to your work or classes, we’d like to encourage you to take a few minutes to check out your lighting system. Power failures, and especially the power surges that often precede them, can cause damage to dimming, control, and network equipment that may not be immediately apparent. So fire up that console and make sure your lights are in good working order. Check out any DMX nodes or other network equipment you may have, take a look at your dimmer racks and make sure there aren’t any fault lights glowing. If you do this now, you’ll spare yourself the panic of finding a problem an hour before show time.

Please know we are thinking of you in this difficult time.
