Let’s start at the beginning. This program is focused on taking participants through all aspects of Raynok from logging in, safety in operation, attending to equipment in motion, application options, axis setup, adding controllers, creating views, and user setup/permissions/passwords. Graduates of this program will be able to build Raynok Showfiles from scratch! We like to call it “Eh to Zed” in our best Canadian accent.

This program is a pre-requisite for Raynok R3D training. Niscon recommends this program for all new installations. Taking part in our Eh to Zed program prior to the completion of a Raynok Motion Control System allows participants to prepare ahead of training during commissioning. This process often produces thoughtful feedback and questions, shortening the time it takes onsite to get operators up to speed and reducing down time or tech support questions

Program Details:

• Availability: Online
• Time commitment: Estimated 30 hours over 5 days
• Goals: Setup, and basic troubleshooting, and Operation of Raynok Standard

This program is focused on cue building, alteration, and execution on an existing showfile. Participants are lead through the process of building and executing cues, navigating Raynok Views and Macros, setting up and managing alarms, and using cue wizards.

It can also be used as a refresher training for operators who have not touched Raynok for several months. Raynok Owners who do in house training may wish to sign their team up for this program from time to time to keep their skills sharp. Or include it when upgrading versions to get the most out of the recent revisions, new features, and fixes.

Program Details:

• Availability: Online
• Time commitment: Estimated 8 hours over 2 days
• Goals: Cue Execution and basic troubleshooting of Raynok Standard

This Program is a deep dive into existing showfiles. Commonly packaged together with the Raynok Operator program, this instructor led training will get into the nitty gritty details of Cues/Views/ and Macros and cover best practices specific to the project application.

This is a great stand-alone package for operators with a firm understanding of stage automation and only need to use Raynok for one project.

Program Details:

• Availability: Online
• Time commitment: Estimated 4 hours over 1 day
• Goals: Operators will be trained on a specific projects’ existing showfile.

Go from Eh to Zed and beyond by coming to the Niscon facility for training. The cool advantage to training in Burlington, Ontario, Canada is that it is more than just Canada! Participants get to meet the entire team and will be working with our Gurus learning all the most minute details from the people who dreamed them up.

Take the next step and learn not only how to setup and use the Raynok software but how to work with, troubleshoot, tune, setup, and reconfigure the Raynok hardware. This program will take participants from Zero to Hero.

Program Details:

• Availability: In person at Niscon
• Time commitment: 5 days
• Goals: Setup, and basic troubleshooting, and Operation of Raynok Standard

Big Time! Get Set! Get going!

Performer flying. 3D Planes. Track and Trolley. Spinning Coin. Complex motion. Anti-sway. 2 line/multi-line bridle. Get it all in an intensive study course that simplifies the concepts and gives participants the confidence to execute commands for artist and stunt flight.

This is an advanced course and requires all participants to have successfully completed the Eh to Zed or In Person Raynok Standard & Hardware as a prerequisite. We offer these courses in a “choose an adventure” style – with curriculum modules that suit the participant’s application of Raynok. All Raynok R3D courses are taught in person, either at our Head Quarters in Burlington ON, or on a project site.
