## What is Unrival?

UNRIVAL is the professional iPhone app for preparing, patching, and maintaining entertainment lighting fixtures. 
Adjust DMX addresses, modes, personalities, network settings, IDs, and other parameters directly from your phone — no 
fixture display, no buttons, and in supported cases, no power applied. In practice, that means a prep tech can configure 
fixtures on the shelf, on the truss before flying, or sitting on top of a roadcase — and turn over a full rig 
before the first power cable is ever pulled. (NFC requires the phone to be close to the fixture's tag; it will not read 
through a closed roadcase.)

KEY FEATURES

• Easy patch/edit of any setting — direct access to fixture settings without the fixture's display or buttons. Change 
DMX address, mode, personality, network settings, IDs, and other parameters from the app.

• Templates & Auto Prep — save known-good fixture configurations and apply them consistently across many fixtures. 
Auto Prep automatically applies saved templates as you work through a batch.

• Rapid Patching from imported patch lists — bring in show data from ChamSys CSV, ChamSys QR Code, and MVR. For 
non-Chauvet NFC-enabled fixtures, the imported list also works as an easy-to-use manual patching checklist.

• Operate and prepare fixtures while powered OFF — read fixture identity, review configuration, and prepare or apply 
supported settings with no power applied. A unique advantage over display-only or powered-only setup methods. Useful on 
the prep shelf, on the truss before flying, on top of a roadcase, and during pre-rig.

• Firmware Update over Bluetooth — wireless firmware updates from your iPhone over BLE. No specialist cables or service 
tools required.

ALSO INCLUDES

• Fixture diagnostics — usage data and error history for faster troubleshooting and clearer maintenance records.
• Scan History — a record of previous fixture interactions for traceability and less duplicated work.
• Quick Tools — one-tap "Auto Test" and "Reset Defaults" for routine procedures.
• MVR 2D & 3D visualizer — visual representation of fixtures inside a project or rig layout from MVR data; aids fixture 
identification on complex rigs.
• Trip Management — organize fixtures and setup activity around specific jobs, projects, or deployments. 
Supports rental, touring, and install workflows.
