Let’s get
your lights moving.

Yes. The app is free to use, with no app purchase or subscription fee. Your Apple device, lighting hardware and network equipment are separate.

Our model-specific integration, testing and setup support focus on Pknight hardware. You may try third-party Art-Net or sACN equipment, but you must configure and verify it yourself; we do not provide dedicated adaptation or compatibility support for other brands.

Pknight Live is free. The public TestFlight link is ready, and the first external beta is awaiting Apple review. Installation becomes available after approval; no email invitation request is needed. Visit the TestFlight page for the link and current status. Broader promotion will begin after the App Store release.

The current app targets iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Background output requires newer system capabilities and permission; keep the app in the foreground unless you have verified your setup.

Use a compatible Art-Net or sACN network-to-DMX node, a local network, and DMX fixtures. Network-enabled fixtures can receive directly if compatible. Match the protocol, universe, fixture mode and start address. A phone alone cannot transmit through a physical DMX cable.

The current test release outputs one universe, up to 512 DMX channels, using either Art-Net or sACN unicast. Multi-universe output is not currently offered. The number of fixtures depends on their channel modes.

Create a personal fixture profile from the manufacturer’s channel chart. Set the total channel count, functions and any fine-channel pairs, then select the matching mode on the fixture. A profile is not a guarantee of compatibility; test it with your own hardware before a show.

Choose a location through the system Files interface: on your device, in iCloud Drive, or another available file provider. iCloud syncing is handled by Apple and depends on your account, network and system state. Confirm the latest file is available before opening it on another device.

Check the local network permission, device and node addresses, protocol and universe, DMX cables, fixture mode and start address. Then check that output is enabled, blackout is off, and any dimmer or shutter channel has the value required by the fixture manual. Start with one fixture at a low intensity.
