The Unilighter Live Dashboard is a modular, high-performance control desk engineered for concert tours, DJ sets, theatrical performances, and permanent architectural installations. It unifies static scenes, procedural animations, audio-reactive macros, and physical fixture controls into an intuitive, touch-ready workspace.
🎛️ Architecture & Workspace Philosophy
Traditional lighting desks rely on rigid, fixed fader banks. Unilighter provides a dynamic grid designed around modern live performance workflows:
- Zero-Latency Live Busking: Instant feedback for cue launching, dimmer master overrides, and live color picking.
- Hierarchical Layout: Arrange master playback controls on top and fixture group mixing desks below.
- Multi-Device Real-Time Sync: Any modification made on the dashboard instantly propagates across all connected desktop and mobile remote consoles.
🧱 Modular Widget Ecosystem
The dashboard is built entirely from specialized widgets. Explore each widget manual below:
