Light.
Simplified.
All-in-one pixel and lighting control platform with network sensing and visual intelligence — reducing setup time from hours to minutes.
The PXS System
Three products forming a unified platform for professional pixel lighting.
You know the drill.
It’s get-in day. 64 meters of pixel bar going up and the clock is already running. If you’re on an Art-Net system, you know what’s coming — three to four hours of IP addresses and DMX channels before you see a single pixel on screen.
We built the PXS system to skip that entirely. Point a camera at your rig and it scans every profile automatically — no manual address assignment, no profile patching, no IP configuration. About five minutes to a fully mapped stage. The visualizer shows you the result in real time. You can record up to 255 shows to SD for standalone playback — triggered via DMX or the software launchpad.
The hardware side keeps up. Two-meter RGBW profiles with tool-free rigging — no wrenches, no bolts, just hands. One controller with full DMX in and out drives the whole 64 meters plus your traditional lighting rig. We put together a full side-by-side comparison with published list pricing — have a look.
