Stage Effects – Lighting Rig

Stage Effects is the all-in-one toolkit for stage lighting professionals. Import your MVR file, see your rig in full 3D, and take live control of every fixture — all from a single app.

Visualise Your Rig in 3D Import any .mvr file and watch your lighting design come to life in an interactive 3D viewer. Navigate the rig, identify fixtures by tapping them, and toggle layer visibility — exactly the way your lighting console sees the world. Channel labels float above every fixture so you always know what's where.

Live Art-Net & RDM Control Connect to your Art-Net network and discover every fixture in seconds. Full E1.20 RDM support means you can read and set DMX address, personality, dimmer curves, pan/tilt invert, and sensor data — without touching the lighting console.

From the fixture detail screen: • Set DMX start address with wire-level readback confirmation • Switch personalities and operating modes • Set a custom device label • Identify by fixture, universe, or fixture type • Read and change dimmer curves • Monitor temperature, voltage, and other sensors • View device hours, lamp hours, and lamp state • Invert pan, tilt, or swap pan/tilt on moving heads • Reset to factory defaults or reboot

Multi-node rigs are fully supported — each RDM command routes to the node that reported that fixture.
