The second rollout of the popular lighting control app - Stellar 2 will be available on the App Store and Google Play - Updates include: the control of third party luminaires incl. manually added fixtures, no RDM required, and empty DMX slot suggestion - Additional features include: swap out fixtures, grouping of different CCT ranges, configurable default intensity, and more live data.
April 15, 2020; Munich - Since its introduction, Stellar—ARRI’s lighting control app—has paved a new way for lighting control. Complete with a highly intuitive user interface for advanced network configuration and management, Stellar made working with modern LED fixtures easier than ever before.
With Stellar 2, ARRI has taken the next step forward. Third-party products are now able to be controlled with Stellar 2. Other features, such as grouping, have become much more convenient making setups faster and more flexible.
Control of third-party luminaires
Stellar 2 is ready to control luminaires from other manufacturers including Litegear, Astera, and Kino Flo. A set of generic dimmers can even be set up to work with tungsten lights (on a DMX dimmer). With Stellar 2, the correct DMX addresses can be assigned to the luminaires in only a couple of steps.
Swap out fixtures
If any fixture needs to be swapped out, possibly due to malfunction, it can be easily exchanged without affecting the setup. A re-scan will detect it, if the fixture has not been in your setup before.
Grouping of different CCT ranges
With Stellar 2, it is now possible to group fixtures with different CCT ranges. The fixture with the smallest range takes precedence while all the other ranges are cropped.
Intensity
Not 100%, not 20%, not zero—Stellar 2 is able to accommodate a variety of unique requirements. Apply your personal value as the default intensity by simply storing it as a favorite in the app settings. The intensity will also remain at the same level throughout all modes.
Additional fixture data
If a fixture can provide these RDM functionalities, temperature and mode information will be displayed in the fixture setups.
With every Stellar update, many small improvements are also made to create a better user experience and improve performance. In Stellar 2, several smaller enhancements have been introduced as well including: a trial phase expiry warning, smoother looks application when no color mode change is necessary, improved connectivity handling, presets that apply on different fixtures, and minor usability, layout, and stability improvements.
