Capture Component

Extend your application

Extend the functionality of your lighting application with our Capture Component software component. The Capture Component comes shipped with Capture's rich fixture and truss library but also allows you to inject custom geometry with your textures and video content. The rich feature set of the Capture Component makes it possible to enhance an application in many different ways.

This is how we will make your application shine

  • Take two-dimensional “fixture layout” views to the next level with three dimensions.
  • Provide live visualization of any fixtures; examples include visualization of specific fixtures, selected fixtures as well as all fixtures.
  • Use multiple simultaneous visualization views with live, blind or other prerecorded states.
  • Providing built-in live visualization of Capture project files.
  • Import fixture information from Capture project files such as patch, location, filters and gobos used.
  • Export Capture project files for continued editing in Capture.

A reasonable amount of customizations and enhancements as per the customer's request is also included.

Technical description

The Capture Component provides a C API which allows you to:

  • Programmatically create and manipulate multiple instances of Capture's document model in memory.
  • Serialize and deserialize instances of Capture's document model to and from Capture's project file format.
  • Embed views that visualize a Capture document in real-time in your application.
  • Interact with views to provide selection, focusing and other sorts of spacial functionality.
  • Stream DMX data internally in memory, without the need for any network protocols.

The Capture component is available as a Windows DLL and a macOS framework.

Capture

Lighting design software

Save time with a lighting design, documentation and visualisation software that is both easy to learn and rewarding to use! Capture is a native macOS and Windows application that lets you work with lighting, video, laser, moving scenery and water effects. Where Capture truly excels is with its ease of use and seamless switching between design, documentation and visualization. This provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and ability to support different types of design processes. It encourages you to try out new workflows and find faster ways of working.

Designing with Capture

Whether you're looking to create a simple 2D sketch or a full-blown 3D plot, Capture has you covered. Try as many fixtures as you need, at different hanging positions and with different gels or gobos. Adapt easily to any set design changes or sudden new restrictions. Do even more with Capture's impressive 3D model import capabilities and excellent integration with other lighting control and design products.

Documentation comes easy

Great plots and reports are only a click away in Capture! Design changes instantly update plots and reports, which saves you from having to redo any paperwork. Filter, gobo, focus and patching information appears automatically for all fixture types. With a high readability and a wide range of configuration options you have total control of your paperwork. You can also add some personalisation for that extra professional touch!

Visualise with brilliance

Bring lighting, media and motion into your visualisation. Our rendering engine's outstanding colour accuracy and amazing performance will impress you right away! With a complete library of lighting fixtures, trusses, LED panels and video projectors you have everything you need to make your ideas come to life. When your design is complete you can render it to high quality image and video files. You can also export Capture's unique, stand-alone, presentations which deliver full interactivity with your design.
