Common questions
What do you use for unattended or museum-style playback?
BrightSign players — 4K and HD units that loop media reliably from power-on, with audio-only players for soundscapes.
Can you build a redundant playback system?
Yes — Autograph XDANTE/XMADI and AuviTran changeover units switch automatically between main and backup machines, which is how critical corporate and theatre playback is specced.
What is a MIDI Go Button?
A Show Works-built button that fires a MIDI cue — the simplest way to give a stage manager or presenter a single reliable 'go' without touching the operating machine.
Do you hire Watchout systems?
Yes — a 4-output 4K Watchout 6 server plus license dongles, with the Macs, projectors and signal distribution to complete the system.
Can you build custom show control systems
Yes - Get in touch with the details and we can spec the equipment needed.
