Show control for macOS — coming soon

Lights. Media. Cameras.
One merge.

Phantos is a modular, nodal show-control system — a lighting console, media server, and camera/switcher controller that resolve through a single priority merge. Not five products glued together. One system, one truth, on the hardware you already own.

What it is

Five categories that are normally five purchases

Lighting console

Programmer, presets, groups, executors, FX, align and fan, per-channel priority merge. DMX, sACN, Art-Net.

Media server

Renders canvas to displays and NDI. Content, gobos, crossfades, warp and edge-blend, multi-node.

Camera + switcher control

VISCA and PTZ, Panasonic AW, ATEM, Roland, PJLink — with a dedicated camera priority tier.

Voice + AI — in development

Natural-language control gated by an explicit safe word — nothing actuates without it. Camera and device-learning faculties are being built and proven now. AI never sits in the render path; every show runs with it off.

The defensible part isn’t any one faculty. It’s one merge arbitrating lights, media and cameras together — which nobody else does.

The free build — arrives with v1

At launch: learn the whole console for nothing

Your show files always save. Pre-programme at home free; the licence turns output on at the venue. Licensed builds validate fully offline, forever — nothing fails at 7pm because the internet did.
v1 ships the core suite — console, merge, media, device control. 3D visualiser and deeper AI faculties come later.
