Features
Everything Lumentrace does between the camera and the fixture.
Two applications, one system
Lumentrace
Your complete tracking environment
Run it on your main station to manage the full tracking workflow — stage view, calibration, fixtures, and DMX output all in one place.
- Full tracking workflow
- Calibration & fixture management
- DMX output via Art-Net & sACN
- Multi-source video management
Lumentrace Client
For your operators
A lightweight companion for additional operators. Connects to Lumentrace over the local network and gives each operator live stage view and their own tracker controls.
- Live video feed from the main system
- Remote tracker control
- LAN auto-discovery
- Multiple clients on one system
Tracking
Multi-Tracker Control
Give each performer their own tracker and follow several at once, across any number of camera feeds. Each tracker drives its own fixtures.
Calibration
Place points on the camera feed, then aim the fixture at each one and record it. From there Lumentrace knows where every position on the feed lands on stage.
Beam Size Compensation
Calibrate iris, zoom or focus at each mesh point, and the spot keeps its size as the performer moves upstage or downstage.
Rise Mode
A performer climbs stairs or a platform and the camera only sees a flat shift. Scroll over the tracker to dial in tilt compensation live; middle-click to drop it.
Free Move
Right-click a tracker and it follows the mouse with no button held — for focus sessions and fine adjustments that would otherwise mean a long drag.
Deadzone & Smoothing
An operator's hand never sits perfectly still. A deadzone ignores movement below a threshold; smoothing filters the rest, from raw to heavily damped.
DMX Output
Art-Net & sACN
Multiple universes on either protocol, broadcast, unicast or multicast, with sACN priorities. It drops into the lighting network you already run.
Show Mode
Choose exactly which attributes Lumentrace drives — pan, tilt, intensity, zoom, iris, focus. Everything you don't hand it stays with the desk, on every fixture.
Direct & Merge Output
Run standalone as the only source on the wire, or take the desk's universe as your baseline and override only the fixtures and attributes you're tracking.
Video Sources
Multi-Protocol Support
Works with virtually any camera setup. Supported protocols: NDI, RTSP, SRT, and local USB/capture card input — no proprietary hardware required.
ONVIF Camera Control (PTZ)
Discover PTZ cameras and control them from the same environment instead of juggling separate tools.
Canvas Layout Editor
Build one clear stage view from all your cameras and arrange it the way your operators actually need to work.
Operations & Control
Intensity Masks
Protect sightlines and sensitive areas by softening or cutting intensity where the beam should not land.
Presets & Recall
Save which tracker drives which fixture and recall it in one click mid-show — or bind the recall to a MIDI button or a DMX fader and never touch the mouse.
MIDI & DMX Control Mapping
Put common actions under physical controls via MIDI or learned DMX input, so operators work faster with the tools they already use.
Handover & Safety
sACN Priority Failsafe
Send on the same universe as the desk at a higher priority. Should Lumentrace ever stop transmitting, the nodes revert to the desk's stream automatically and the show continues uninterrupted.
Panic Release
One button returns every controlled attribute to the desk immediately, whatever the reason, with a clear indication on the canvas that Lumentrace has released control.
Crossfade Time
Release a fixture from a tracker and it doesn't snap. Set how long it takes to fade back to the desk's values, or down to zero.
