## What is m?

Turn Your Device into a sACN-Controlled Stage Lighting Fixture

mBER transforms your iOS device into a fully functional sACN (Streaming Architecture for Control Networks) lighting fixture. Whether you're working on stage productions, film sets, or immersive art installations, mBER seamlessly integrates into your lighting network for dynamic and professional control.

Key Features:

sACN Control Made Simple: Assign a Universe (1–65279) and DMX Address (1–509) to control your device just like any other fixture in your lighting setup.
Real-Time Backlight Adjustment: Use sACN to control the screen's backlight brightness, simulating realistic light effects.
Easy Integration: Connect your device to the same production Wi-Fi network as your sACN enabled lighting device and start controlling instantly.
IRGB 8-Bit Support: Patch your device as a Generic IRGB 8-bit lighting fixture on your light board for maximum compatibility.

6 Channel Mode – Unlock extended DMX control:
Flashlight Intensity Control – Adjust brightness from 0-255 directly from your light board/sACN device.
Device Vibration Control – Set vibration frequency from 0 (off) to 255 (high frequency) for versatile device control.

Clean, Intuitive Interface: Simple controls and clear instructions make it easy to set up and use, even in high-pressure environments.

How It Works:

Patch Your Device: Add the device to your lighting board as a Generic IRGB 8-bit fixture.
Connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure your device and sACN enabled lighting device are on the same production Wi-Fi network.
Configure DMX Settings: Assign the correct Universe and DMX Address directly in the app.
Enable mBER: Toggle on mBER and watch the magic happen!

NOTE: This app only listens over wifi for sACN- it will not work with any other lighting protocols.
