Light.
Simplified.
All-in-one pixel and lighting control platform with network sensing and visual intelligence — reducing configuration 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. 80 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 more than keeps up. Each two-meter RGBW profile delivers over 5,000 lumens at CRI 90 and 32,000 Hz — the brightest pixel strip on the market with color rendering that holds up on any camera. Tool-free rigging, one controller with full DMX in and out for up to 80 meters, and six layers of fault protection that keep the chain running even when hardware fails. We put together a full side-by-side comparison with published list pricing — have a look.
