ToskLight Pixel

ToskLight Pixel icon

ToskLight Pixel brings video, images, text, generated visuals, and effects into the same live decision-making space as the rest of the show.

Library

Prepare every visual for the show.

Keep videos, transparent images, text, and generated sources together in a visual library. Browse by folder and thumbnail, then choose the content for each layer.

Pixel prepares imported media for live playback and gives it a predictable address at the lighting desk.

Visualizers

Let the music shape the picture.

Choose a sound-driven visualizer and adjust its appearance to suit the room and the music.

Live audio analysis drives the visualizer while it remains part of the same layered composition as your media.

Text

Doors open in …

Put a countdown, clock, title, or message into the picture with an editable text layer. For example, count down to doors opening, then switch to the next message for the audience.

Position and style text alongside video and images, with the same layer controls as the rest of the composition.

Layers

Image and video layers, up to eight at once.

Build a complete visual output from up to eight independently controlled image and video layers. Shape their position, opacity, masks, frames, and effects while keeping the complete composition visible.

The layers are designed for a live show: each one can be controlled directly in Pixel or reached from the lighting desk over sACN and Art-Net.

Eight layers. One deliberate picture.
Eight layers. One deliberate picture. Eight real Pixel layers combine original media, transparent textures, a generated visualizer, and native text into one live output.

Output

Send the picture to the screen.

Show Pixel’s output on a connected display or projector, including HDMI. Control layers over Art-Net or sACN, with CITP/MSEX for media names, thumbnails, and live previews.

DMX pixel output and multiple outputs are in public beta. Configure their mapping for the actual room and check the result on the production hardware.
