Features
Key Features
With innovative safety features and automation tools, Drone Show Software makes it easy to manage complex, large-scale drone shows from a single platform.
Double Geofence & Hardfence
Prevents drones from exiting the safe flight area.
This dual-layered safety system prevents drones from flying outside the designated flight zone. The soft geofence issues warnings, while the hardfence acts as a strict boundary that drones cannot cross. It ensures full spatial control, even during unexpected signal interference or pilot error.
GPS Correction Redundancy
Ensures accurate positioning.
Drone Show Software supports multiple layers of GPS correction to maintain precision. If the primary correction system fails, the software seamlessly switches to a backup, ensuring stable and accurate drone positioning throughout the show.
Red Button
Immediate emergency stop.
A built-in emergency function that allows operators to immediately ground all drones with a single click. It's designed to respond to critical situations, protecting both the audience and the equipment.
Time Code Integration
Synchronize drones with music and other show elements.
Synchronize drone movements with music, lighting, fireworks, or other show elements using time code protocols. This allows for precise, frame-by-frame coordination and a polished multimedia performance.
Drone Show Software Controller
Centralized interface for full mission control.
A centralized mission control interface for real-time monitoring and adjustments. Operators can manage drone status, communications, timing, and safety from a single, intuitive dashboard.
