READY TO TAKE CONTROL Audio and visuals are one thing, controlling them is another thing entirely. TSL Control was deployed as a modular hardware and software solution for U2’s Sphere residency. Through a virtual panel, users were able to programme a visual signal flow between independent routers managing several low-compatibility control solutions.
