Pixout Remote is a companion iOS application for Pixout controllers that allows you to remotely switch and control pre-recorded Art-Net DMX cue lists via a local Wi-Fi or global network. The app is designed for fast and intuitive control of dynamic lighting scenes without the need for complex software or technical expertise. Key Features: • Cue list switching • Brightness control • Playback speed control • Blackout (on/off) • Simple configuration using LID (Lighting Identifier) • Intuitive interface for non-experienced users You can adjust brightness and playback speed with a single swipe and switch between cue lists with just one tap. Even if you lock your Apple device or close the app, the light show continues to run uninterrupted on the Pixout controller. We believe that lighting control should be accessible and reliable, even for users without professional lighting knowledge. Getting Started: To use Pixout Remote, you need a Lighting Identifier (LID) linked to a Pixout controller. You can obtain your LID from the Pixout support team or use a default LID for demonstration purposes. All required configuration data is automatically retrieved from the Pixout server using your LID, allowing you to control your Pixout system with minimal setup.
