FireOne™ is the brand name of the FireOne System. This System consists of both hardware and firing software. Additionally, under the FireOne name is a complete suite of software that has revolutionized all aspects of designing and firing pyrotechnic displays.

FIREONE SYSTEM – SOFTWARE

At FireOne we’ve taken the approach that designing and firing pyrotechnic displays should be a logical process. This process should be intuitive and easy to master. To accomplish this goal, we developed the FireOne System. The FireOne System is an integrated system of hardware and software that provide easy to use, state-of-the-art tools to assist in all phases of the creation of basic or complex pyrotechnic displays. When the tasks associated with a goal are logical, they become easy to perform. If a task is easy to perform, it can be accomplished faster. When any job is finished in less time, you save money. Time is money!

Whether creating a basic fireworks display or a complex multi-location pyromusical, the basic steps to achieve the final results are similar. The five steps illustrated below relate the tasks to the associated FireOne System software package.

Under the five illustrated steps, each software package’s operation and features are further detailed. Click on the specific software link for a concise detailed explanation. FireOne software provides features and capabilities not possible with any other firing system or any other software package.

Individual music selections are combined into a single music program to create the music score for the display. This is accomplished using third party software. There are a host of audio editors available, including Audacity, Adobe Addition, Soundforge, Wavepad, HYA-Wave, GoldWave and others.

For non-musical displays, this step is omitted.

The display designer determines the product (shells) type, color, etc., to integrate into the music program. FireOne’s choreography program, ScriptMaker Visual, automatically maintains multiple databases of product inventory in addition to the choreography database for the music program. Using easy point-and-click selection, the desired product (shell) is “dropped” into the music at the desired time, creating the choreographed display.

The product (shells) from the choreographed music score must be assigned to appropriate electrical contacts (cues) in order to be fired by FireOne’s digital firing system. CueMaker Visual automatically assigns all product, or group of shells, to a specific cue in the most efficient manner. This reduces setup time. Time savings of 35% to 50% are typical. Saving time saves money!

TimeCode Wizard creates perfect digital time code from the music score created in Step 1. The time code is necessary to synchronize the choreographed fireworks to the music score. TimeCode Wizard creates a perfect digital audio recording of the music with the digital time code applied on a separate channel.

The process of generating a time code track with TimeCode Wizard can be replaced with the use of FireOne’s TimeMachine. This specialty device is capable of generating custom time code in multiple formats, in real time. Additionally, the TimeMachine can be used to trigger events and convert between multiple forms of time code.

FireOne UltraFire is, without question, the most technologically advanced pyrotechnic field software in existence. Firing, monitoring and real-time interaction make UltraFire the professional’s choice. FireOne UltraFire provides setup and testing routines to verify proper operation prior to firing the display. FireOne UltraFire can be operated in three distinct modes; fully automated, semi-automated and manual.

FireOne UltraFire software may be used to download the display into a control panel or directly into the field modules for firing without a laptop computer or even the software.
