Introduction

Congratulations on your shiny new Alcorn McBride V4X Show Controller!

The V4X is designed to incorporate the same powerful show control core as the top-of-the-line V16X for smaller scale applications that don’t require advanced synchronization capabilities.

Many attractions require advanced control and monitoring over many different types of third-party equipment. This includes devices like the PLC systems commonly used for ride control, projectors, video players, audio players, audio DSPs, matrix switchers, motion controllers (animatronics), and much more. The V4X harnesses the power of the Alcorn McBride show control engine to easily integrate with many industry-standard devices and serve as a sub-system show controller control for theme park attractions or a master show control system for museum applications. This includes features like timelines to precisely manage A/V playback or triggering complex show control sequences via GPIO, Serial, or Ethernet commands. The V4X also works in tandem with our ShowTouch apps and devices to provide intuitive touch panel controls (HMI) that can be tailored to the needs of the attraction’s operations and maintenance staff.

All of this powerful technology is intuitively managed and configured using our license-free WinScript Live software. This software empowers you to create timelines to easily synchronize show elements such as on-board audio, wayside A/V playback, animatronics, special effects, and much more. With the help of our rock-solid Alcorn McBride hardware, WinScript Live allows you to take complete control of your attraction experience.

This product leverages 37 years of experience designing products specifically for themed entertainment applications. In true Alcorn McBride fashion, the solid-state and rugged design will ensure years of 24/7 maintenance free operation which is essential to zero downtime for attractions. At Alcorn McBride, it is our passion to engineer solutions that are uniquely suited for themed entertainment. We hope that you love using this product as much as we enjoyed designing it!
