Why Halyx
A control-room instrument, not just another app
Designed with lighting designers, for the dark venue and the stage: every choice comes from the craft.
The screens you already own
iPad, Android tablet, phone, laptop: as many screens as you like, in sync, with no app to install. A QR code is all it takes.
The network, not cables
The PC sends Art-Net 4 or sACN to nodes of any brand. Port-by-port output patch, RDM, wireless CRMX.
A show is never cut
Show saved continuously, licence valid 7 days offline, a tablet losing Wi-Fi cuts nothing. An anomaly always shows.

The diagram
From PC to fixtures, over the network
The PC has no DMX cable. It computes the light and sends it to the nodes, which output DMX to cabled fixtures or to a CRMX transmitter for wireless.

Frequently asked questions
What is Halyx?
DMX lighting control software: a complete console (patch, programmer, effects, cue lists with GO, faders, 3D visualizer) that runs on a PC and is controlled from tablets, phones and computers, in the browser.
What hardware do I need?
A Windows 10 or 11 PC for the engine, a network switch, at least one Art-Net or sACN node (any brand) to output DMX, and the tablets or phones you already own. For wireless, a CRMX transmitter plugged into a node port.
Is Halyx free?
Without a licence, Halyx is free and complete, except for the output to fixtures: enough to learn and prepare a show in the 3D visualizer. Real output needs a Solo (2 universes), Pro (8) or Unlimited plan, with a free 14-day Solo trial.
Which tablets are compatible?
Any tablet or phone with a recent browser: iPad, iPhone, Android. Screens are free and unlimited.
Does Halyx work with a USB DMX interface?
No: Halyx only outputs over the network, as Art-Net 4 or sACN, to nodes such as the ODE MK3, Luminex LumiNode, DMXking eDMX, etc.
