32-Universe, all-in-one DMX recorder & smart light show controller

The ENTTEC S-Play SP-1 is a versatile smart show recorder and playback controller, ideal for automated light shows and complex projects. It allows you to create, record, schedule, and trigger light shows, video, and more, all from a single device. With 32-universe DMX recording, custom web interfaces, and a built-in effects generator, it’s easy to use and offers professional results without requiring expert knowledge. Install it anywhere with flexible mounting options and enjoy seamless, multi-show playback.

The S-PLAY is a powerful, professional light show generation engine, featuring multiple ways of recording and creating content for your show.

Record light scenes into static/dynamic cues from external sources such as lighting software via sACN, Art-Net or from physical universes using the DMX port.

Use the internal web-based engine to generate gradient effect cues or simple light scenes by editing DMX values manually.

Create playlists for DMX or pixel light shows using the intuitive timeline editor, and integrate both lighting and non-lighting equipment through multiple protocols and contact closures.

Use these components as building blocks in your playlists to initiate automation events through contact closure, RS232, or protocols like OSC, UDP, DMX, Art-Net, and sACN.

Moreover, you can trigger playlists in real-time using external building automation software, iPad Apps, pressure pads, motion detectors, push buttons, and various other methods.

The S-PLAY’s sophisticated and intuitive playlist creation tools include:

– Drag and drop cues, events and triggers into the timeline
– Adjust the duration for static cues and effects
– Fade in/out for all cues
– Control playlist intensity in real-time
– Design your show with a combination of different cues, events and triggers
– Edit, loop, prioritise and group playlists
– Play single or multiple playlists

Simply set and forget for permanent installation and easy management. You can play back your show at any time and in any way you like through interactive control or scheduled timings.

Use the intuitive web-based creation tool to set up multiple playlists to play back on demand. The customised user interface simplifies commissioning to make playback easier than ever, with multiple installation options to secure your device with peace of mind.

Set up multiple playlists to playback simultaneously in various ways using real–time triggers, internal Schedules, or even custom user interface for different needs. The S-PLAY optimises the intricate lighting setup within finger reach so you can set and forget.

Light show playlists can be set up to playback:

– By pre-set triggers to create real-time interactive lighting control
– By scheduler for an automatic long-term setting with perfect local time synchronisation via NTP
– Customised user interface for hassle-free direct control

Advanced features elevate the S-PLAY into the architectural sphere, bringing you borderless control.

Open API:
Flexible control system integration that allows external commission through text-based codes.

Multi-Sync:
Sync multiple S-PLAYs on the same network when you need more than 32 Universes.

Remote access:

Management:

The S-PLAY offers versatile installation possibilities with both rack-mount and surface-mount options, making it adaptable to a wide range of environments. Whether you’re working in a compact space or a large-scale venue, the S-PLAY can seamlessly integrate into your setup.
