Lumatrix CAD: a light plot with three electrics, the fixture library and the instrument schedule

LIGHTING & EVENT DESIGN

Lumatrix CAD

Plots, venues and paperwork in one place.

Draw the rig once and the schedule, patch, power report and 3D view keep up. 3D previs follows your console over Art-Net and sACN, with MVR and DXF to trade files with everyone else.

  • ✓Plot, section and 3D previs
  • ✓Paperwork that updates as you draw
  • ✓Event floor plans and capacity

macOS, Windows & Linux · from A$79 per year

ONE DESK, BOTH APPS

Built for the same show

Plan the rig in Lumatrix CAD, then watch it in 3D as your console runs the cues: the previs listens for Art-Net and sACN. On the night, the same desk can run Lumatrix VJ over Art-Net, so lights and visuals answer to one operator.

  1. 1Plan. Lumatrix CAD: plot the rig, lay out the room, print the paperwork.
  2. 2Check. Lumatrix CAD's 3D previs follows the console before you load in.
  3. 3Perform. Lumatrix VJ plays the visuals, driven by MIDI or the lighting desk.

Questions

Which one do I need?+

Lumatrix VJ is for performing visuals live: clips, shaders and effects mixed in real time and sent to a screen or projector. Lumatrix CAD is for planning the show: lighting plots, venues, event floor plans, paperwork and 3D previs. Many shows use both: the same lighting desk can drive Lumatrix VJ's visuals and Lumatrix CAD's previs over Art-Net.

Is one licence good for both apps?+

No. Each app has its own licence keys: a Lumatrix VJ key doesn't unlock Lumatrix CAD, and a CAD key doesn't unlock Lumatrix VJ. All your keys show up together on your account page.

Which computers do they run on?+

Lumatrix VJ runs on Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and Apple Silicon Macs. Lumatrix CAD runs on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 10 or 11 and Linux.

Are these subscriptions?+

Lumatrix VJ isn't: you pay once, with a year of updates (Lumatrix Pro: lifetime updates). Lumatrix CAD and Lumatrix Events are yearly plans that renew automatically and get every update while active; cancel any time from your account page. Either way each licence covers two computers, and the versions you already have keep working if you stop.

Are they finished?+

Both apps are in beta: ready to use, with rough edges we're still smoothing. Tell us what you hit at hello@lumatrix.app.
