An intuitive lighting console for iPad and iPhone.

Current Luminator fader view with patched fixtures and three programmed scenes

Build the patch on iPad, then keep the useful controls on iPhone. Share the project over LAN on site without Internet, or use Internet mode when the crew is elsewhere.

Big surfaces, made to be touched.

Open the patch, faders or simulator without digging through menus. The important information stays readable when the room gets busy.

1 iPad, 5 iPhones — or more.

Keep the main console on iPad and connect the crew on the same LAN. Every electrician opens the shared project and can control fixtures, levels and scenes in real time.

LAN mode works without an Internet connection. The project is shared between devices while Art-Net or sACN output stays on the local lighting network.

From the iPad to the fixtures.

Luminator sends Art-Net or sACN across the venue network. A compatible node handles the final DMX connection.

Use Ethernet when the setup stays put. A dedicated Wi-Fi access point keeps the iPad mobile without mixing lighting traffic with the public network.

01

Connect

Put the iPad and the Art-Net or sACN node on the same dedicated network.

02

Patch

Choose fixtures, modes, addresses and universes, then check conflicts in Luminator.

03

Control

Send the network frame to the node, then continue over DMX cable or external CRMX hardware.

Patch and fixtures

Build the patch without losing the rig map.

Fixture search, universe, address, mode, conflict checks and output view sit in the same workflow. The patch stays close to the signal that leaves the desk.

  • Fixture library and personalities for fast setup.
  • Address overlap checks before showtime.
  • Universe view before sending to the bridge.

DMX simulator

See the channels before you plug into the rig.

The simulator shows the output frame. It is useful when checking a patch, a scene, an effect or a timeline before sending Art-Net or sACN.

  • Active channel grid by universe.
  • Output levels visible before the bridge.
  • Stable rehearsal mode when hardware is not connected.

Scenes and playback

Scenes, sequences and timelines.

Program scenes from the faders, arrange them into sequences, then replay each move from the same project.

  • Three programmed scenes visible from the fader view.
  • Multi-track sequences for timed playback.
  • Timelines for recorded lighting moves.

The iPad keeps the desk. The bridge keeps the hardware.

A local bridge handles the network output on site while the iPad stays focused on patching, programming and playback.

Art-Net

Network output to compatible nodes through a local machine that sends the packets.

sACN

E1.31 universes for venues that already run lighting over IP.

iPad

A touch surface for patching, programming and playback without putting a keyboard in front of the operator.

Local bridge

A small machine on the venue network can handle packets while the iPad stays focused on the lighting surface.

Designed in France

Built by a lighting technician, not a committee.

Paris · cinema · live rooms · DMX habits learned on real sets

Luminator is designed by Come Nolo, French gaffer and lighting technician. The interface comes from everyday lighting work: patching under time pressure, reading a rig quickly, and checking the signal before it touches hardware. That is the point of the product.

What is planned.

Luminator is in active preparation. This page shows the product direction and current interface work.

When will it ship?

It is coming soon to the App Store. The current priority is a solid iPad interface that stays readable during setup and operation.

Is it a full DMX console?

The goal is to cover patch, faders, scenes, FX, sequences, timelines and network output.

Do I need hardware?

For a real rig, yes. You will need an Art-Net or sACN node, or a local bridge to your DMX hardware.

An intuitive iPad lighting console, coming soon.

Luminator is coming soon to the App Store. The current screens show how patching, playback and network output work on iPad and iPhone.
