The lighting console you program by talking.
Tell DORAH what the song needs. It patches the rig, builds the presets, writes the cues and the effects — and what leaves the desk is standards-compliant sACN and Art-Net, at stadium scale. Nothing hits the stage until you press GO.

You talk. It programs. You verify.
The conversation is the command line. Every request becomes real programming — presets, cuelists, effects — and every reply is a verifiable change on the cue sheet. Never a mystery, never a black box.
A real exchange, in the console's own words: the ✓ line is the exact feedback DORAH prints for every executed command.
How the DMX leaves the desk.
No magic between the cue and the cable: a fixed-rate engine, two standard protocols, and a backup that's already running. The console shows you its own vital signs — this bench lives in the Network page.
NETWORK ▸ BENCH REALTIME · the same numbers the operator watches at front-of-house
- The tick every 25 ms
- Forty times a second the engine resolves playbacks, effects and programmer for the whole rig and re-serializes every universe — a template-based packer takes ~4.5 µs per universe, with opt-in parallel workers when the count grows.
- The wire sACN + Art-Net
- sACN E1.31 multicast or unicast with per-machine identity, priority and sequence numbering; Art-Net with compliant ArtPoll/ArtPollReply. Streams terminate cleanly — receivers are told the source is gone. No ghost data, no surprise blackout.
- The backup DORAH-Net
- Stations find each other by multicast beacon and elect master/backup on their own. The backup replicates showfile and live state, follows the show, and can seize the output mid-song by sACN priority — a hands-free takeover. When one machine isn't enough, universes shard across stations.
A real desk, not a demo.
These screens are the console running the showfile of an actual stadium gig — 388 fixtures across 70 universes — the same views the operator reads in a dark front-of-house.
Every view. One desk.
The full tour — every page of the console, on the same stadium showfile. Dense where your eyes need speed, spelled out where you need certainty.
Boringly compliant, on purpose.
A console earns trust byte by byte. DORAH speaks the industry's protocols to the letter of the specification — because at showtime, the network is not the place for surprises.
- sACN ANSI E1.31
- Per-machine source identity, priority, sequence numbering and clean stream termination. Proven at 70 universes.
- Art-Net
- Compliant ArtPoll / ArtPollReply identity — nodes and visualizers see a well-behaved peer, not a mystery source.
- GDTF + MVR
- Fixtures from their official descriptions, the rig imported with real positions — down to each sub-fixture.
- NDI video-in
- Live video mapped onto the rig — pixel-mapping with UV maps, live filters and a delay buffer.
- SMPTE LTC
- Chases linear timecode from playback, with cue triggers on the timeline and freewheel handling.
- Session
- Master / backup over the network with automatic takeover — the backup seizes output by sACN priority, mid-show, hands-free.
The AI programs.
Only you arm.
Every irreversible gesture on DORAH is two-step: the first press arms — yellow, unmistakable — the second press fires. Store, update, delete, blackout. The AI writes in blind and previews everything, but it can never arm the stage by itself. That's not a setting; it's the architecture.
Try it. This one is safe here.
Battle-tested where it counts: one stadium stage, 388 fixtures, 70 universes, zero incidents. output measured at the byte level · full show, live audience · summer 2026
