Product Details
What is Luminair?
Luminair is a professional DMX lighting control app for iOS and iPadOS, used by filmmakers, theatre techs, and live event professionals. Unlike brand-specific apps, Luminair works as a universal wireless lighting controller via Art-Net and sACN protocols, allowing you to control a wide range of lights from multiple manufacturers.
How does Luminair work?
The app turns your iPad or iPhone into a wireless lighting console. Using a compatible DMX interface, it communicates with lighting fixtures via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Users can create cues, scenes, and sequences, and trigger them with precision. Luminair also integrates with Apple Shortcuts and MIDI controllers for advanced automation.
