SKU: 70094

16-universe, all-in-one DMX recorder + smart light show controller

ENTTEC’s S-PLAY LITE is a smart show recorder and playback controller designed for professional, hassle-free light shows and automation. It handles light shows, video, and machinery with precision, allowing for simultaneous playback and flexible mounting. Combining a scene creation engine, 16-universe DMX recorder, and multiple AV protocol host, it also supports custom web interfaces. With its built-in effects generator and intuitive controls, it makes creating impressive shows easy, even for those without extensive lighting experience. Now UL certified, it delivers the performance and safety compliance required for professional installations.

Cue: record + create effects

The S-PLAY LITE is a powerful, professional light show generation engine, featuring multiple ways of recording and creating content for your show.

Record light scenes into static/dynamic cues from external sources such as lighting software via sACN, Art-Net or from physical universes using the DMX port.

Use the internal web-based engine to generate gradient effect cues or simple light scenes by editing DMX values manually.

Playlist: design + integrate

Create playlists for DMX or pixel light shows using the intuitive timeline editor, and integrate both lighting and non-lighting equipment through multiple protocols and contact closures.

Use these components as building blocks in your playlists to initiate automation events through contact closure, RS232, or protocols like OSC, UDP, DMX, Art-Net, and sACN.

Moreover, you can trigger playlists in real-time using external building automation software, iPad Apps, pressure pads, motion detectors, push buttons, and various other methods.

The S-PLAY LITE's sophisticated and intuitive playlist creation tools include:

- Drag and drop cues, events and triggers into the timeline
- Adjust the duration for static cues and effects
- Fade in/out for all cues
- Control playlist intensity in real-time
- Design your show with a combination of different cues, events and triggers
- Edit, loop, prioritise and group playlists
- Play single or multiple playlists

Playback: set + forget

Simply set and forget for permanent installation and easy management. You can play back your show at any time and in any way you like through interactive control or scheduled timings.

Use the intuitive web-based creation tool to set up multiple playlists to play back on demand. The customised user interface simplifies commissioning to make playback easier than ever, with multiple installation options to secure your device with peace of mind.

Set up multiple playlists to playback simultaneously in various ways using real–time triggers, internal Schedules, or even custom user interface for different needs. The S-PLAY LITE optimises the intricate lighting setup within finger reach so you can set and forget.

Light show playlists can be set up to playback:

- By pre-set triggers to create real-time interactive lighting control
- By scheduler for an automatic long-term setting with perfect local time synchronisation via NTP
- Customised user interface for hassle-free direct control

Get to know the S-Play

Discover how to create an impressive and straightforward interactive LED lighting setup with ease. Join Nic as he demonstrates a basic S-Play configuration, including using an external button to switch between cues.

Please note that the video features the S-Play SP-1, but the S-Play Lite offers similar functionality with a 16U maximum output and no onboard LED screen.

NOTE: The S-PLAY series hardware and its web interface have seen continual improvements and visual modifications since this video was produced, although its core functionality remains the same. The Pixie Driver is a legacy product, but there are many current ENTTEC LED controllers you could use in its place, e.g., the OCTO. Enjoy!
