A revolutionary platform for music and SMPTE timing perfection.

PYROCAST is a platform that allows you to allow individuals to listen to music perfectly timed to your aerial performance. In addition, PYROCAST allows you to use SMPTE to synchronize unlimited control systems that can receive a SMPTE feed. Our technology scales from small to large hundred thousand people+ events and boasts +/- 10ms accuracy for iOS and +/- 40ms accuracy for Android.

​​

PYROCAST also includes feature such as branded skins, video intros, and also a collaboration feature that allows you to add one or more users to your account. This allows operators to listen to music and / or play SMPTE across multiple locations in perfect sync.

​

Use with COBRA, IGNITE, or any SMPTE timecode control system, or simply press start to fire at-will.

Instruct your audience members to download the PYROCAST app on either iOS or Android. They can search for "pyrocast" from the App Store or Google Play as it's the only app available with this name.

​

Your audience can enter the 4-digit show code to download the audio and wait for the show to start.

Start the Show

You can start your show using a few methods.

​

  • COBRA - Output SMPTE directly to the COBRA 18R2 from the PYROCAST app or app.pyrocast.com.
     

  • IGNITE - The IGNITE app is directly integrated into PYROCAST and will start automatically when the show is started in the app. Enable PYROCAST from the IGNITE menu settings.
     

  • Any SMPTE Firing System - Using app.pyrocast.com, you can choose to layer SMPTE into the audio soundtrack. You can then output timecode from the PYROCAST app or app.pyrocast.com directly into your firing system controller.
     

  • At Will - Use a 3-2-1 countdown method and start the show on the PYROCAST app or app.pyrocast.com and start the show on your firing system at the same time.

Listen to the Show

When the operator starts the show, the PYROCAST app will play automatically in sync to the fireworks show. When listening to the show, the user can adjust volume and even audio timing if desired.

 

Please note that we are currently in BETA testing and are continually improving audio accuracy due to the phone's local audio buffering and other factors. If you are experiencing any issues, make sure to contact us right away. We are very friendly and happy to help!

​

If you created your show using COBRA or IGNITE, the fireworks events even show to the user so they can see what fireworks are currently shooting.
