Intuitive iPad lighting console

An intuitive iPad lighting console for DMX.

Patch fixtures, ride faders, build scenes, test output and send Art-Net or sACN through a local bridge. Built in France for lighting teams who want to see what is actually leaving the console.

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 share one logic.

A fader can write into the active scene. A timeline can replay a move. DJ mode keeps scenes close when you need to react in seconds.

  • Auto-store for live programming.
  • Short timelines for DMX moves.
  • Scene pads for fast playback.

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

For real output, Luminator uses a local bridge on the venue network. The browser stays clean, and the rig stays in the room.

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.

Desktop

More space during prep to read the patch, scenes and timelines before walking to the floor.

Designed in France

Built by a lighting technician, not a committee. Paris · cinema · live rooms · DMX habits learned on real sets

Luminator is created by Côme Naulleau, a 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. Until then, this page is the public preview for the console, the patch workflow and the French maker behind it.
