Dual Protocol DMX Support
Light Deck supports both ArtNet and sACN (E1.31) protocols with advanced networking capabilities. Control multiple DMX universes (0-32767 for ArtNet, 1-63999 for sACN) with independent state management for each universe. Features broadcast/unicast options for ArtNet and multicast addressing for sACN, plus Lyra PoE auto protocol switching for seamless integration with compatible Ikan fixtures.
Preset & Scene Management
Create, organize, and recall unlimited lighting scenes with Light Deck's powerful preset system. The dedicated Presets tab offers drag-and-drop organization, customizable button colors and labels, and grid-based layout for fast access during live events. Save complete application states including fixture patches, fader positions, and protocol settings with the comprehensive Profile Management system.
Advanced Hardware Integration
Light Deck features native integration with both MIDI controllers and Elgato Stream Deck devices. Map MIDI controls to any fader for tactile hardware control, or use Stream Deck buttons to trigger presets and scenes instantly. The built-in Stream Deck plugin allows for customizable actions and profiles, making it perfect for live operation and studio environments.
Intelligent Fixture Management
Streamline your workflow with Light Deck's fixture-aware patching system. Select from an extensive fixture library, assign custom names, and automatically organize faders by fixture type. The patching interface displays detailed channel configurations, and once patched, faders show labels indicating exactly what each control manages-from intensity and color temperature to specialized fixture functions.
