Release Notes

v1.0.0 — 2026

Lumentrace 1.0 is the initial public release.

Lumentrace turns any moving light into an automated followspot. A camera feed is placed on a canvas, calibrated to the stage once, and Lumentrace drives pan, tilt, intensity, and beam size over Art-Net or sACN in real time.

Tracking

• Real-time performer tracking from any camera source: local USB/capture card, NDI, RTSP, SRT.
• Multiple trackers per project, each independently assignable to fixtures.
• Rise Mode for vertical compensation (stairs, platforms) via scroll wheel.
• Free Move for manual override without losing calibration.
• Intensity Masks: define regions of the canvas where intensity is automatically reduced.

Calibration

• Calibration mesh maps camera coordinates to DMX pan and tilt values.
• Minimum 3 mesh points; accuracy improves with more points.
• Beam Size Compensation calibration per mesh point (Iris, Zoom, Zoom + Focus).
• Pan and tilt offsets for fine correction without full recalibration.

DMX output

• Art-Net and sACN output on configurable universes.
• Direct Output and Merge modes with per-attribute control.
• Show Mode toggle for clean HTP merge alongside a console.
• sACN priority failsafe topology for automatic console fallback.
• Crossfade time for smooth release fades.

Fixture management

• GDTF import and custom fixture builder.
• Five preloaded factory profiles (Ayrton, Clay Paky, Prolights, Robe Lighting).
• Multi-fixture patch with address conflict detection.

Remote operation

• Lumentrace Client: free remote operator app for macOS and Windows.
• Up to 64 simultaneous clients over local network.
• Per-tracker locking — each operator holds their own tracker independently.
• Real-time bidirectional tracker sync between server and all clients.

External control

• MIDI CC and Note mapping for presets, fixture attributes, and pan/tilt offsets.
• DMX input mapping on a dedicated control universe.
