From patching fixtures into the console through recording playbacks, palettes and some of the effects engines that are built into Titan. Level 1 also covers cues lists, which is used for everything from corporate to circus, and theatre to gigs.

Level 2 covers more advanced programming options and set up available already within Titan. As well as networking, Avolites will cover some ways to speed and aid your programming. Level 2 also covers external triggering and working with timecode.
