Nowadays a project can easily include dozens, hundreds or even thousands of universes and Pharos has the right controllers for these projects.

To help simplify the set up we have created a series of videos ‘Large Projects’ to help with the preparation and awareness of all the tools available to you when creating large installations.

Each video incorporates the basics you need to know about how to set up even the largest and complex projects, as well as making it simple, efficient and more manageable task.

The series of videos will discuss how to work with large channel count projects, how best to prepare, the tools Pharos has to offer, and show examples of using 3rd party software.

At this time, the video series is only available in English. We are open to adding translations, but we need a native speaker to review the text. If you are interested, please contact us at support@pharoscontrols.com.
