DMXCalc for iPhone™ --- the DMX address calculator.

DMXCalc helps you with all basic DMX address arithmetic for entertainment lighting system setup.

Each DMX universe can contain up to 512 individual addresses or slots. When multiple universes are used in a lighting system, calculating the absolute address for channel patching can become challenging.

For example, the 3rd address in universe 1 has absolute address 3, while the 3rd address in universe 2 is 515, and the 3rd address in universe 5 is 2051. DMXCalc translates instantly between universe/address and the absolute address, in either direction.

The row of dots across the bottom of the screen assists in setting up equipment having address dip-switches. The dots always show the dip-switch equivalent of the current address.

DMXCalc has been used on Palm® OS devices on and off Broadway for years. Available now for iPhone and iPod™ touch.




PowerCalc for iPhone --- the watts / volts / amps calculator.

PowerCalc calculates electrical power loads.

Enter a wattage to determine the electrical current in amps. Or enter rated ampacity of a device and see maximum wattage load. Works for any voltage. Select two or three phase service to see amps per leg and total wattage for a multiphase power distribution. AC Inductive mode allows setting of power factor and selection of single phase or three phase motor power calculations.

Available now for iPhone and iPod touch.




BeamCalc for iPhone --- the spotlight beam calculator.

BeamCalc calculates spotlight beam geometry.

Enter the light's height above the target and distance across the floor. BeamCalc shows the resulting throw distance and elevation angle. Enter the light's beam size in degrees to calculate the pool width. Adjust beam size or location to achieve required pool size. BeamCalc works with any units: feet, inches, centimeters, ... even miles.

Available now for iPhone and iPod touch.
