Description

The award-winning Pharos Designer LPC X (Lighting Playback Controller X)

This is an award-winning, all-in-one control solution for themed entertainment and LED lighting installations offers an extreme level of power and integration, making it an ideal lighting control solution for architectural and landmark lighting installations requiring significant channel counts.

Unprecedented capacity

The LPC X is available in capacities ranging from 10 DMX universes (5,120 channels) up to 100 DMX universes (51,200 channels) from a single unit, with further scaling (for even larger architectural lighting installations) by using multiple LPC X connected and synchronised automatically over Ethernet.

Onboard Audio Input for two LTC channels, with additional integration options supported by our range of Pharos Designer Remote Devices and IO Modules.

Optional HDMI input for mapping live video in your installation, supporting up to 1080p60 with configurable scaling and X/Y pixel offset.
