Why designers choose Unilighter

Everything you need to craft unforgettable shows

Unilighter pairs the depth of a pro console with the clarity of a modern creative tool. It keeps your projects synced, your looks intelligent, and your rig ready for showtime.

Design with building blocks

Sketch looks by connecting color, movement, and logic blocks. It feels familiar if you love tools like TouchDesigner or Blender’s node editor.

  • Reusable groups for quick variations
  • Clear signal flow you can read at a glance
  • One-knob control for entire show moments

Music-aware looks

Let your show breathe with the music. Unilighter listens to the room and turns beats, peaks, and frequencies into smooth lighting moves.

  • Automatic beat matching
  • Frequency band mapping
  • Audio-reactive dimming

Timeline made for shows

Edit cues with video-editor comfort. Stretch, ease, and polish transitions in seconds before handing control to your operator.

  • Instant scrub preview
  • Curve presets & custom easing
  • Group edits with master track

Cloud show files

Your projects, fixtures, and palettes sync automatically. Start on the studio computer, tweak on site, and stay aligned with the team.

  • Secure cloud backup
  • Shared fixture library
  • Version-friendly workflow

Visual stage view

Preview every cue in 2D and 3D. The visualizers are tuned to run smoothly even on lightweight touring laptops.

  • Real-time 3D rigs
  • Fast 2D board for quick checks
  • Camera presets for directors

AI scene assistant

Describe the mood and pacing, and Unilighter drafts scenes, palettes, and node setups you can take live.

  • Quick starter systems
  • Suggested transitions
  • Editable automation ideas

Creative control

Build live systems, not just static scenes

Unilighter’s node system lets you wire color, movement, sound, and logic just like you would in TouchDesigner, DaVinci Resolve Fusion, Blender, Nuke, or Houdini—only now it powers your stage lighting.

Spin one encoder to sweep a whole look, automate handoffs between songs, or hand control to AI when you want a fresh idea.

  • Live instruments: Turn a single knob into a show-wide intensity, color, or movement macro.
  • Logic that thinks with you: Build gates, timers, and triggers for hands-free moments.
  • AI-ready foundation: Let the assistant propose node graphs that you can tweak in seconds.

Designed for demanding shows

From first idea to opening cue in one flow

Plan on the production computer, rehearse with your phone, and run the show from the booth. Unilighter adapts to wherever you’re working.

  1. Plan

    Lay out fixtures in the 2D board and 3D stage to get everyone on the same page before load-in.

  2. Create

    Build node systems and timelines. Invite AI to draft looks, then refine them with your own touch.

  3. Perform

    Trigger cues, sweeps, and overrides from any device—computer, tablet, or Android phone with an OTG-connected interface.

  4. Iterate

    Adjust on the fly with live feedback, then sync changes back to the cloud so the team stays aligned.

Questions

Frequently asked

What gear do I need to get started?

You’ll need a compatible DMX interface such as uDMX, an FTDI-based dongle, or a Bluetooth DMX box. Plug it in, select it in Unilighter, and you’re ready to patch.

Can I use Unilighter on my phone or tablet?

Yes. Unilighter runs in modern mobile browsers. Android users can connect DMX hardware with an OTG cable, and iPad users can pair supported wireless interfaces.

Will it run on my current laptop?

Absolutely. The 2D and 3D visualizers are optimized for everyday machines, so rehearsals stay smooth even on lightweight tour gear.

How does the cloud keep my shows in sync?

Every project, fixture, and palette saves to your secure cloud workspace. Open Unilighter on another device and the latest version is already there.

What can the AI assistant do?

Describe the vibe you’re after and the AI suggests scenes, node layouts, and tweaked timelines. You’re always in control—accept, edit, or remix the ideas.

Click “Create Account” to sign up. After that, log in from any browser bookmark or home-screen shortcut and you’re instantly in the console.
