Showkontrol and TC Supply
[edit]
TC Supply is a Dutch entertainment-technology company known for developing DJ timecode and show control tools, including ProDJ TAP, one of the earliest systems that enabled technicians to monitor DJ playback data in real time for synchronized live-production workflows. Founded by David Arthur Moor in 2004, the company became part of Event Imagineering Group (EiG) in 2016, with Event Imagineering Group in the United States serving as the distributor for TC Supply’s products.
Under Moor’s direction, and in collaboration with Pioneer DJ (now AlphaTheta), TC Supply evolved its early timecode tools into a full show control ecosystem, ultimately leading to the creation of ShowKontrol [1]– a platform designed to receive real-time metadata, BPM, waveforms, and performance information from Pioneer DJ’s PRO DJ LINK network for seamless integration with lighting, video, laser, and FX systems.
As the lead developer of ShowKontrol, Moor built the system on his early work in DJ timecode technologies and his extensive touring background as a technical producer and creative/production director. Designed to provide a reliable bridge between DJ performance and live event-production systems. This collaboration was formalized in 2017[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] when TC Supply and Pioneer DJ entered a partnership to advance DJ-driven show control technologies.
For ShowKontrol, a new protocol called TCNet was designed by David Moor, in order to enable reliable communication between the DJ equipment and show control devices. TCNet is now widely adopted by media server and lighting companies such as Avolites, Arkaos[10][11], Chamsys, Resolume[12][13][14], and Disguise[15]. Today, ShowKontrol, TCNet, and their associated workflows are widely recognized as some of the industry standards.
