Ideal For

From Concept to Operation

Our lighting services begin at the design stage with full pre-visualization, allowing clients to see the lighting environment before a single fixture is hung. We then handle all integration, programming, and live operation — including DMX-controlled rigs, addressable LED systems, media server-driven content, and audio-reactive programming for immersive environments.

DMX vs Addressable LED

DMX-controlled lighting is the industry standard for stage and event lighting, offering reliable, real-time control over individual fixtures through a standardized protocol. It's ideal for moving heads, PARs, and conventional stage rigs. Addressable LED systems, on the other hand, allow pixel-level control over LED strips and matrices, enabling complex animations, video content playback, and audio-reactive effects. Beatrox designs hybrid systems that combine the reliability of DMX with the creative flexibility of addressable LEDs for maximum impact.

Benefits of Pre-Visualization

Pre-visualization allows you to see your lighting design before investing in equipment and crew. Using 3D rendering software, we model your venue, fixture placement, and cue timing — giving you a realistic preview of every look. This reduces on-site programming time, minimizes surprises, and allows for faster client approvals. For complex shows, pre-viz can save hours of expensive load-in time and ensure your creative vision is achieved exactly as planned.
