Your light show,
on autopilot.
LUMEN Player plays shows designed in LUMEN DMX with no computer and no operator: cues, music and playlists, every day at the times you set. In its own player box, or as a Windows app on any PC. Control it from any phone, with or without a network.
- Timelines & playlists
- Music on the timeline
- Scheduled starts
- Its own Wi-Fi
- Any phone or tablet
- Art-Net & sACN
- USB DMX & USB drives
- Windows app
Version 0.4.4 · Player box, or Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) · On request
Design it once. It plays every night.
Program the show in LUMEN DMX, hand it to the player, and set when it plays. From then on it runs by itself.
1. Design
Build the show in LUMEN DMX: fixtures, cues, effects and keyframes.
2. Send
Open the show on the player from a browser or a USB drive. It plays it with LUMEN DMX’s own engine, exactly as designed.
3. Schedule
Build timelines and playlists on the player’s own page, set the days and times, and walk away.
Every cue a tap away, on any screen.
The player has its own controller page. Open it in the browser of any phone, tablet or PC: there is nothing to install.
- Cue buttons: in the cues’ own colours and icons, as in LUMEN DMX. Tap to play or stop, hold for the level; playing cues glow amber.
- Now playing: the playlist and timeline, the repeat, the progress and the next scheduled start.
- Release all and Blackout: always one tap away at the top.
- Six tabs: Live, Timelines, Playlists, Show, Settings and About, on a tablet, a phone or a PC.
- A PIN: keeps changes to the people who should make them.
Every player in your pocket.
LUMEN Player Remote finds the LUMEN Players on your Wi-Fi and runs them from one Android phone: what’s playing, quick actions, the full controller, and new shows sent from the phone.
- Finds them by itself: the players and LUMEN DMX on the phone’s Wi-Fi, or by address. Each shows its show, what’s playing and its mode.
- Each player’s own controller: opens in the app, with every control. A PIN is asked once, then kept on the phone, encrypted.
- Quick actions: Release all, Blackout, playlist Start, Next and Stop, and autonomous or piloted mode, without opening the player’s page.
- Scan to join: scan a player’s QR code and the phone joins the player’s own Wi-Fi by itself, and keeps its internet on mobile data.
- Send a show: a LUMEN show or player file, picked on the phone or shared from WhatsApp, Drive or email. The player keeps its own outputs, and Undo puts the old show back.
- LUMEN DMX too: open LUMEN DMX’s phone remote and its touch wing from the same list, or from its QR code.

Light and sound on one time axis.
Place cues on a timeline and drag them into place, with the music right under them.
- Cues with their fades: each block shows its fade in, level and fade out. Drag a block to move it, its ends to change its times.
- Audio clips: music and sound effects sit on the same timeline, in step with the lights.
- Colour waveforms: bass in blue, mids in amber, highs in white: every beat and every silence, at any zoom.
- Try it from any point: with undo, redo, snap and zoom.
Starts at six. Lights off at closing time.
Put timelines in order, choose how they repeat, and let the clock start them.
- Playlists: timelines in order, each repeated as often as you like. Play once, a set number of times, forever, or every X minutes.
- When it ends: lights off, or a chosen look held.
- Schedule: on chosen days, from a start time to a time off. Overnight shows, such as 22:00 to 02:30, work too.
- After a power cut: a player switched on during a scheduled time starts its playlist at once.
- Its own clock: set it from your phone. An optional clock module keeps the time with no internet.
Lights, music and schedule in one small box.
A compact player that lives with the installation, and starts playing as soon as it gets power.
- Touch screen: an optional touch screen on the box: the LUMEN start-up animation, then the controller full screen. No desktop, nothing to tinker with.
- Its own Wi-Fi: the player can make its own Wi-Fi network, so no venue Wi-Fi is needed. Scan the QR code on its screen: the phone joins and the controller opens by itself.
- USB drives: plug one in and the player lists the shows, player files and music on it. Open a show or add music in a tap.
- Audio out: headphone jack, HDMI or a USB sound card.
- DMX out: Art-Net and sACN to network nodes, USB DMX interfaces, or a DMX line straight from the box.
The same player, on any PC.
Run LUMEN Player on a Windows PC that stays with the installation: the same player and the same controller, in a window or full screen.
- Any Windows PC: Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), with an installer or as a single portable app.
- Open and Save: open a show or a player file from the menu, or double-click a player file.
- Starts with Windows: and goes full screen if you want, with its playlist and its power-on cues.
- Phones too: phones and tablets on the network control it with the same controller page.
- Outputs: Art-Net, sACN and USB DMX interfaces, and any sound output the PC has.
Smart on its own. A DMX node when you need one.
The player sends DMX every way, and can hand the rig over to a lighting console.
Smart
It plays on its own: cues, timelines, playlists and the schedule.
Piloted
It becomes a DMX node: a lighting console on the network, LUMEN DMX or any desk, sends Art-Net or sACN, and the player sends it out of its USB or direct DMX output. When the console stops, it holds the last look, goes dark, or goes back to its own show.
Built to run unattended.
Made for installations that play every day, with nobody at the desk.
Starts by itself
At power-on it starts its playlist and its power-on cues, such as a house light or a sign.
Safe after a power cut
Every change is written safely, so the player comes back as it was.
One file for everything
A player file holds the show, timelines, playlists, schedule, power-on cues and music. Save it on the player box and open it in the Windows app, or the other way round.
For places where the show plays itself.
Leave a reliable player with the customer, and keep the show file.
- Hotels, bars, restaurants and shops: the evening look at 18:00 with the music, lights off at closing time.
- Gardens, malls and facades: a light show that runs every night on its own.
- Museums, exhibitions and attractions: a loop that plays all day, every day, without anyone touching it.
- Events and seasonal shows: Halloween, Christmas or New Year: a timed show on a schedule.
- Installers and lighting designers: design in LUMEN DMX, hand over a player that just works.
- Touring and backup: a small node that turns a console’s network DMX into a DMX cable.
Design it. See it. Play it.
LUMEN Player plays shows made in LUMEN DMX. It does not design shows by itself.
Put your show on autopilot.
LUMEN Player is available on request, as a player box or a Windows app. Tell us about your venue and your show, and we will get you set up.
