Cognito 2

Cognito² offers the same easy and intuitive programming interface that makes control over incandescent dimmers, moving lights and color-changing LEDs a breeze.  Although the interface hasn’t changed, the output has.  Now with up to twice the universe count and a new display output for a high definition external monitor, Cognito² doubles up on the capabilities of what is quickly becoming the go-to console for small to medium size churches, schools and other halls of public assembly.

 

And the neato iOS app extension, with remote focus abilities and more, can be downloaded from here.
