IGNITE App Version 1.3

Release date: November 11, 2024

Customer Notification System

A new customer-facing notification system now communicates new app releases, bug fixes, and important updates. When you log in, any new notifications appear within the app. The system also uses standard Android and iOS notifications to alert you of critical updates, even when the app is closed.

Module Number Labels to Assist Color-Blind Individuals

Each module color now includes a corresponding number to assist with usability and accessibility.

The number now appears throughout the app, including module assignment, the main menu, Free-Shoot, and Show Prep sections. With the latest module firmware, the module also flashes a number of times corresponding to its assigned number when powering on.

Free-Shoot: Multiple Module Improvements

Updates to the Free-Shoot “Firing Multiple Modules” feature make simultaneous cue control more efficient:

• Selecting a cue now includes an option to apply it across all modules.
• When “Automatically Select Next Unfired Cue” is enabled, cues with continuity automatically increment to the next available cue after firing.

Tip:

Before firing your show, check that all igniters have continuity. See How to Check Connected Igniters for Continuity.

Show Audio Test Feature (including Pyrocast)

Added a new audio test feature allowing you to preview your show’s audio from within the app. Any connected Pyrocast devices linked to your show code will also play the audio for synchronized sound checks.

Tip:

To test audio with Pyrocast, ensure Pyrocast is enabled in your IGNITE App settings.

Free-Shoot within Scripted Shows

You can now manually fire modules during a scripted show using the red button with a white plus symbol. Learn more in Can I Manually Fire Cues While a Show Is Running?
