Lighting & show control

Lighting that follows the story—and a control system that follows the show.

InteractAV designs and operates lighting and show-control workflows that coordinate fixtures, consoles, networks, media, triggers, timecode, and human calls without taking creative control away from the production.

From visual intent to an operable show file.

We begin with the people, music, scenic elements, cameras, audience sightlines, and venue constraints. That intent becomes a lighting plot, control and data plan, patch, programming approach, focus plan, cue structure, and documented fallback.

Equipment is selected for the specific production. When fixtures, consoles, networking, rigging, or power are provided by trusted rental and venue partners, InteractAV coordinates specifications, substitutions, acceptance, programming, and operation within the agreed scope.

01

Lighting production

Design development, fixture and control specifications, plots, patches, focus, programming, and operation.

02

Control architecture

Console and network topology, universes, gateways, timecode, triggers, media links, and monitoring.

03

Show readiness

Previz, cue-to-cue, backup show files, spare strategy, recovery checks, operator notes, and handoff.

Automate dependencies, preserve human judgment.

Some moments should follow timecode precisely. Others belong to a caller or operator watching the performance. We assign control intentionally and make the current state visible.

  • Concert, stage, keynote, broadcast, and experiential lighting
  • Console programming, effects, cue stacks, and busking layouts
  • sACN/Art-Net network planning, gateways, addressing, and monitoring
  • Timecode, MIDI, OSC, contact closures, and media-server control
  • Architectural or practical-light integration where the venue permits

Prepare the recovery path before a console or network fails.

We match backup strategy to the production: current show-file copies, spare control hardware, network bypasses, safe looks, fixture substitutions, or manual cue paths. The crew rehearses the response that matters.

Send the stage or event concept, venue information, schedule, and current equipment plan. We will identify scope and control dependencies.
