"Blackout has completely changed my workflow on set. Being able to walk around with my iPad and adjust every fixture's parameters in real-time while standing next to the camera is a game-changer. The Carallon fixture database is incredibly comprehensive, and the UI is the most intuitive I've seen in the industry. It's the professional-grade control I needed without the bulk of a traditional console."

"As a freelance lighting designer, portability is everything, but I can't compromise on power. Blackout's effects engine and multi-cuelist platform rival the industry's biggest hardware desks. I love that I can plug in my MIDI fader wing for tactile control. It has handled everything from high-end corporate galas to live music venues without a single hiccup."
