Can I Fire More Than One Show at the Same Time?

To fire two shows at the same time, you’ll need two separate smartphones, each connected to its own set of IGNITE modules, or connect a single IGNITE Lite module to each smartphone. If both shows were created under the same account in IGNITE Show Designer, share one show’s 4-digit code with the second phone or log into the same account on both devices. For details, see How to Import a Show into the IGNITE App.

With IGNITE Lite, you're free to fire two pre-designed shows that were provided by a dealer, or free-shoot both modules simultaneously.

Tip:

Each smartphone only controls the modules paired to it, so make sure to clearly label your setups. Colored tape or tags can help prevent mix-ups when managing multiple shows.

Coordinating timing between two phones takes practice. Both operators should count down 3–2–1 and press Fire Show at the same time. Keep in mind that if one phone is connected to more modules than the other, the pre-show countdown will differ (about 8 seconds per module). This makes perfect synchronization difficult to achieve.

Because of these extra steps and the potential for error, firing two shows simultaneously can be challenging to manage. If your display has grown large enough to require multiple devices, consider a professional firing system like COBRA, which is designed for multi-module coordination and synchronized shows without the added complexity.
