## Description

New in 2.0: Companion Mode — pair with Light Deck desktop and use your iPad as a wireless fader surface, free. Plus Stream Deck support and editable sACN priority.

Light Deck turns your iPad into a professional DMX lighting controller for film sets, stages, studios, and live events. Control 512 channels per universe with responsive faders, output Art-Net and sACN over your network, patch fixtures, build presets — and now pair your iPad with Light Deck for desktop as a wireless companion control surface.

NEW IN 2.0 — COMPANION MODE
• Pair with Light Deck desktop over your network — no cables, no configuration
• Use the iPad as a wireless fader wing: every move mirrors to the desktop instantly, across every universe
• Fire the desktop's presets from the iPad and see the active look at a glance
• The desktop pushes its fixture patch to the iPad automatically — your local patch is restored when you disconnect
• Companion Mode is free: all 512 channels are unlocked while connected to your desktop

DMX CONTROL
• 512 channels per universe with smooth, responsive faders
• Grand master, blackout, and percent or 0–255 value display
• Fader pages with type-to-jump navigation
• Per-universe storage keeps every setup organized

OUTPUT
• Art-Net and sACN (E1.31) output over Wi-Fi or Ethernet
• Broadcast and unicast targets
• Editable sACN priority for multi-console rigs
• Adjustable refresh rate with a live output health indicator

FIXTURES AND PRESETS
• Fixture patching with overlap checks and channel role editing
• GDTF fixture import
• Preset workflow with fade times and a drag-and-drop layout board for quick recall
• Plot View: place fixtures on a visual stage plot, group them, and ride intensity, CCT, and color masters

INTEGRATIONS
• Elgato Stream Deck plugin for hardware preset recall
• MIDI control with learn mode, including Bluetooth MIDI controllers
• OSC remote control, in and out
• Discovery and configuration for Ikan Lyra PoE fixtures

Whether you're a gaffer dialing in an interview, a board op running a small stage, or a studio tech testing fixtures, Light Deck keeps DMX control fast, flexible, and portable.
