What’s new in 2026

The biggest leap ELM has ever made.

Layering effects live

Complete LED control

Intuitive. Efficient. Powerful.

Pixel mapping turns thousands of separate LEDs into one surface you can paint light across, a screen made of light fittings instead of pixels. ELM (ENTTEC LED Mapper) is the 2D and 3D software that makes it happen: point it at any LED strip, dot or fixture, whatever the shape or size, and it works out where every pixel sits, so you can run live video, generative effects and audio-reactive shows across the whole rig.

From a nightclub wall to a city-scale media façade, ELM takes a project from concept to creation, simple enough for a first build, deep enough for a seasoned pro.

Three steps from bare LEDs to a running show:

1

Map your rig
Recreate your real LED layout in ELM. Every strip, dot and fixture, in 2D or 3D, whatever shape it’s in.
2

Design the show
Paint video, effects and audio-reactive visuals across the whole map like it’s one big screen.
3

Send it to your lights
ELM drives your hardware in perfect sync, from a single fixture to an entire building.
