With Light’J, you control your spots as intuitively as never before. Light’J offers you the feeling of a modern app and the various control options of a classic light console. The communication with your light effects is realized via the Eurolite freeDMX interface, which is obligatory. Control colors, strobe effects or the brightness of your spots with Light’J – you can even control the movement of moving heads. Gobos, prisms and other moving head effects can easily be used with virtual faders. Fog and other effect machines can also be integrated. Generate cues to save scenes and to call them up again at any time. You can combine several cues to quickly and easily program chasers. A well-thought-out group feature allows you to control multiple devices simultaneously. Save multiple shows for different setups and stay as flexible as you want. In-app-purchases give you the possibility to also export your chases and cues and to share them with others or use them with other devices. You can also have an unlimited amount of chases or cues and add a master dimmer and a multiplay function. Even though Light’J has been optimized for Eurolite products, you can run all spots of popular manufacturers with it. Only requirement: the spots must be able to be controlled with DMX. You can assign spots, which have not already been added to the database (300 spots by now, June 2017), very easily within a few minutes.

ADJ’s myDMX GO is a revolutionary new lighting control system that is extremely powerful and incredibly easy to use. It combines a uniquely intuitive app-based control surface with a compact interface that connects wirelessly to an iPad and provides a standard 3-pin XLR output for connection to a lighting system.

 The myDMX GO app requires zero programming but can be used to create stunning synchronized lightshows across any combination of lighting fixtures. It’s distinctive layout features two FX wheels – one for color chases and one for movements patterns – which each contain eight pre-programmed effects. These can be selected independently, customized (by altering the color palette, speed, size, shift and fan) and combined to create a vast number of different unique effects which can then be stored for instant recall to one of 50 user-defined presets. In a matter of seconds, incredible lighting displays can be easily created that would require hours of programming using traditional control systems. 
With an extensive fixture library of 15,000+ profiles, the myDMX GO can be used to control all types of DMX lighting from any manufacturer. It is ideal for use by mobile entertainers as well as for small nightclubs, bars and leisure venues where a simple and easy to use lighting control system is required.
