Depence R2 100%
For LDs working on touring concerts, Depence R2 allows them to pre-program the entire show in a hotel room. They send the show file to the riggers, and on load-in day, the show is 95% complete.
Imagine you are trying to predict the price of a house (the Dependent Variable). The prices vary wildly—some are cheap, some are expensive.
R-squared simply calculates the ratio between these two.
Unlike competitors that use raster-based rendering (which struggles with reflections and transparencies), Depence R2 uses a fully ray-traced viewport. You can toggle between performance mode and full "Production Render" mode instantly. This allows designers to work on complex stages with hundreds of fixtures without lag, but instantly render a photorealistic frame for client approval.
To understand the power of Depence R2, one must look at the standard production pipeline for a large corporate event or rock concert. depence r2
Step 1: CAD Import The designer imports a DWG or DXF file of the venue. Depence R2 respects real-world scale (millimeters/feet). You place walls, truss structures, and stage decks.
Step 2: Fixture Patching You drag and drop 3D models of your lighting rig onto the truss. Because Depence R2 uses GDTF (Generic Device Type Format), the mode channels match the real console instantly.
Step 3: Visual Programming You connect a physical lighting console (e.g., grandMA3) via a network cable to your Depence R2 computer. The console sends DMX data out. Depence R2 receives it and renders the result. The designer programs the show on the console while watching Depence R2.
Step 4: Media & Pixel Mapping LED screen segments are drawn in the 3D space. Video clips are dragged onto the timeline. You can build complex mapping content where video wraps around curved LED columns. For LDs working on touring concerts, Depence R2
Step 5: Camera Rendering Instead of sending a 2D plan to the client, you render a 4K fly-through video. Depence R2 includes a "Cinematic Camera" mode with depth of field, motion blur, and auto-exposure, allowing you to produce pitch videos indistinguishable from the actual event recording.
Designing synchronized shows with water, light, and lasers traditionally required separate software for each domain. Depence² R2, developed by Syncronorm, bridges this gap. Version R2 introduced:
A simulation was conducted using Depence² R2 to re-create the Dubai Fountain’s “Sama Dubai” sequence. The model used 1,200 fountain nozzles, 270 moving lights, and 50 lasers. Results:
The formula for R-squared is derived from the concept of variance decomposition: R-squared simply calculates the ratio between these two
$$R^2 = 1 - \frac\textSum of Squared Residuals (SSR)\textTotal Sum of Squares (SST)$$
Where:
Alternatively, it can be viewed as: $$R^2 = \frac\textExplained Variation\textTotal Variation$$
