Avolites Titan V19: What's New & What's Changed

Smarter input, cleaner networking, and a lot of quality-of-life wins.

Avolites Titan V19 Adds Record From Input

The headline feature in V19 is Record From Input, and it is a big one. Titan can now listen to incoming sACN data, assign it to a line, and treat that live input as something you can actually program with.

Input universes show up as distinct nodes in DMX Settings, clearly differentiated from outputs and fully assignable to any line. Once assigned, you can tell fixtures or attributes to follow incoming DMX values in real time. Those values appear in the programmer exactly like locally set levels, which means they can be recorded into cues or palettes whenever you want.

In real terms, this opens the door for much cleaner workflows when referencing another console, pulling data from previz, or capturing looks from an external controller. Instead of eyeballing values or manually recreating states, Titan can now “watch” another source and turn that data into native show content. Status indicators, refresh rates, and a dedicated DMX Input view make it clear what data is live, held, or missing, which is crucial when you are trusting incoming signal mid-session.

Capture 2024 Integration

Titan V19 updates the built-in Capture integration to Capture 2024. The upside is access to newer fixture libraries and ongoing Capture improvements. The important note here is compatibility: Capture 2024 uses a different library than previous versions, so matching the correct personality library during upgrade matters.

For programmers who rely on Capture as a daily visualization tool, this keeps Titan aligned with current previs expectations, but it is an update you want to handle deliberately rather than casually

Release to Quick Palette

Release behavior has always been one of those things you only notice when it goes wrong. V19 adds a new Release To Quick Palette option that makes releases far more intuitive when no other playbacks are actively holding control.

When enabled, releasing a playback now returns attributes to their underlying quick palette values instead of defaulting to something unexpected. This is especially useful in busked or hybrid shows where quick palettes are doing a lot of the heavy lifting underneath momentary playbacks.

Bug Fixes That Actually Matter Day to Day

There is a long list of bug fixes in V19, but a few stand out because they address common frustrations rather than edge cases. These are the kinds of fixes that do not make headlines but absolutely improve trust in the desk during rehearsals and live operation.
