Intelligent lighting control. Redefined.
Luminair for iPad is like a dream come true for lighting designers and anyone else who works with creative lighting. A wireless, multi-touch DMX lighting controller with an intuitive and refined user interface. A lighting controller that a novice user can learn in minutes and master in an hour. Best of all, it's actually fun to use, leading to enhanced creativity in your designs.

Luminair transmits DMX using the Art-Net and sACN E1.31 protocols, so it's compatible out of the box with lots of existing equipment on the market. It's perfect for controlling color-mixable LED fixtures, dimmers, studio lighting, moving lights, media servers, and any other DMX enabled equipment. Use Luminair as the ultimate remote focus tool, for advanced architectural lighting, or simply as the centerpiece of your DMX lighting rig.
 


Powerful multi-touch controls
Luminair for iPad is the result of over 3 years of advanced multi-touch development. It has a brilliant and refined user-Interface, with powerful touch-optimized controls throughout the app. Some of the highlights include wide fader controls, large trigger buttons, RGB and CMY color pickers, XY controls with accelerometer support, and easy touch-based channel assignment. User's have the choice of working with groups or individual tracks when building looks, giving you flexibility in how you set up your workspace.


Stacks Playback
Luminair offers continuous automated show playback with Stacks, which is a cue-list playback system. These playback capabilities have been designed to make it very easy to put together shows for a wide variety of uses, in a really quick and familiar manner.

Creating looks and playing back shows is as simple a creating an iTunes playlist. Cues are added to a stack, and each have their own individual hold and fade time. Users can work with multiple stacks, apply batch timing to individual stacks, and choose one of five modes for playing back cues. Seamlessly transition between hundreds of looks with a single fader control, by mapping an external MIDI controller to a Stack's current playback position.


Photo References
Luminair offers an innovative way of assigning pictures and images as a visual reference for the designer's cues. Users can use the iPad's built-in photo library, the built-in cameras on iPad 2, or Luminair's internal web server to assign images. A CoverFlow view makes it easy for users to browse and trigger cues in a completely visual manner. Users have the option of password locking this full-screen CoverFlow, for semi-permanent installations or shows.

MIDI Input
Luminair for iPad supports CoreMIDI input for various controls and actions. Map faders, knobs and buttons to trigger cue changes, change fader levels, playback and more.
