Four Steps to Lighting Project

From fixture modeling to device playback, a clear workflow makes it easy for everyone to get started.

STEP 01

Select or Create Fixture Model

Use LnxFixtureEditor to create or manage fixture models, define channel counts, types, and control parameters. Supports pixel lights, moving heads, and various fixtures.

STEP 02

Wire & Place Pixel/Stage Lights

In LnxPatcher, place fixtures onto the stage or scene and complete DMX address assignment. Supports DXF import and Madrix patch compatibility.

STEP 03

Design & Create Lighting Effects

Import the patch file into LnxEffect and use the timeline and color editor to create rich lighting effects. Supports video, GIF, and text effect layer overlays.

STEP 04

Offline Device Playback

Use LnxManager to send lighting effect files to the controller, supporting DMX channel switching playback and scheduled auto-play. Set it and forget it.

CAD Drawing Import, Design Meets Patching

When there are many fixtures, placing them one by one and manually calculating addresses is the most frustrating part. LnxPatcher's DXF import turns CAD designs directly into lighting projects.

Three Simple Steps

1

Draw in your familiar CAD tool

Use AutoCAD or similar software to draw fixture positions and signal lines, just like creating a simple construction diagram.

2

Annotate to tell the system the entry point

Label each signal line with U1, U2..., indicating which output port each string of lights connects to — that's all.

3

Import and let LnxPatcher do the rest

Import the DXF drawing, and the system automatically recognizes fixtures, assigns addresses, and restores positions onto the patch layout.

Efficiency Doubled

Ideal for large-scale pixel matrices, LED screens, and other large projects. Say goodbye to manual placement and address assignment.

What You See Is What You Get

Fixtures are automatically restored according to their relative positions in the drawing, matching the actual installation layout perfectly.

Automatic Addressing

Addresses are numbered sequentially along the signal line starting from channel 1, automatically continuing to the next output when 512 channels are filled.

Easy Fine-Tuning

After import, you can still view, adjust, or modify entries in the patch table, flexibly adapting to on-site changes.

Powerful Features, Easy Creation

LnxEffect provides lighting designers and engineers with rich creative tools to let your creativity run free.

Multi-Effect Layer Compositing

Add multiple effect layers for overlay compositing, each with independently adjustable parameters, to create complex and brilliant lighting effects.

Video/Image/Text Layers

Supports video file playback, video capture input, screen capture effects, GIF effects, and text effect layers — rich sources for effects.

Timeline Editing

Timeline-based lighting effect editing, precisely controlling the lighting performance at each time point to create dynamic light shows.

Recording & Frame Editing

Real-time recording of lighting effect output, supports frame-by-frame editing, defining in/out points, deleting specific frames, and fine-tuning every detail.
