Every lighting engineer, operator, and designer needs one control solution that they are completely familiar with, that works for every situation, and can be relied on every time. LightFactory is that solution. Crafted by lighting designers, LightFactory offers a new standard in traditional dimmer control and adds exceptional, full featured, moving-light support.

Lighting without Limitations

This PC-based control solution offers all the features you would expect from any lighting control board and yet can be run from the smallest of laptops. LightFactory can output up to 10 DMX universes (5,124 dimmers channels) and is compatible with the industry standard USB and Ethernet output nodes. We recommend the USB Pro DMX to interface between your computer and the dimmer rack.

Build Powerful Shows with Powerful Tools

With LightFactory, you�ll have a completely flexible cue system that allows you to build the most complex shows with minimal effort. Create virtually unlimited cue lists, each able to hold millions of cues. Cue lists can run automatically from start to finish, with or without user interaction. Every cue created provides an unprecedented level of control over its execution. Built-in intelligence ensures that what you want to happen is what actually happens. Pre-emptive cues can anticipate complex lighting situations and automatically pre-fetch positions, colors, gobos, etc.

Outstanding Effects

Build a library of lighting effects that can be added to shows for cue playback or run independently from the separate �effects runner� screen. Multiple effect engines provide the quickest and most convenient method for creating the effect you want. Why use a complex effect system to create a basic chase? LightFactory gives the best of all worlds. When it�s time to build complex effects, LightFactory provides a unique graphical view of how each effect will run.

Expand Your Current System

LightFactory grows with your needs. The DMX system can be expanded in blocks of 512 dimmers. Limited by your control board? No problem. Access up to 1,000 sub-masters � all from the comfort of your current hardware. Instead of continually hiring larger boards to use moving lights, simply add LightFactory.

Dynamic Control

Because not every show is planned with a set cue list, LightFactory allows you to access effects, palettes, and channel groups at any time for the �on-the-fly� control. With LightFactory you are always in command of every situation and unexpected lighting changes. Channels and fixtures can be modified regardless of what is currently controlling your show. Channel groups or sub-masters can include specific fixture properties (e.g. strobe) with or without affecting the dimmer. The built-in Palette system allows one-touch access to your favorite onstage looks. Effects can be assigned to an exclusive group to enforce independence when required.
