In the world of live events, television, and theatrical production, the lighting console is the central nervous system of the visual experience. For decades, this domain was dominated by proprietary, expensive hardware consoles that were largely inaccessible to aspiring designers. However, the release of Avolites Titan PC Suite fundamentally altered this landscape, bridging the chasm between powerful arena-grade control and the humble personal computer. More than just software, Titan PC Suite represents Avolites' strategic philosophy: that the intelligence lies in the software, not the hardware.
The Avolites Titan PC Suite is the software ecosystem that runs on every Avolites console, repackaged to run on a standard personal computer. It is the brain of the operation. The "Suite" includes the core application (Titan), a visualizer (TitanSim), and a suite of utilities for fixture management and system configuration. Avolites Titan Pc Suite
Crucially, the software allows you to build shows, patch fixtures, create cues, and program complex timecode sequences entirely offline.

This is its greatest strength. Unlike other PC-based solutions that offer a "lite" or watered-down version of their larger siblings, Titan PC Suite offers near-identical functionality. A designer programming a show on a laptop in a hotel room is using the same engine, the same effects generator, and the same pixel mapping tools as a designer at a stadium festival. This parity ensures seamless workflow—a show file created on a PC Suite can be loaded directly onto a $50,000 console without conversion or data loss. Select fixtures (Click on the fixture grid or
The PC Suite acts as a server for the free Titan Remote app (iOS/Android). This turns your phone or tablet into a remote focus unit. You can select a moving light, walk to the stage, and control its position via your phone's gyroscope or touch sliders.
At its core, the Titan PC Suite is the software backbone of Avolites consoles (like the Sapphire Touch, Tiger Touch, and Quartz). It allows you to run the full Titan operating system on a standard Windows PC or laptop.
But it is much more than just "console software on a computer." It is a complete ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between hardware and software, offering flexibility that is unmatched in the industry.
