ELM (ENTTEC LED MAPPER) 2026 Preview

Pixel Map a strip. a façade. a bridge. a city.

2D/3D pixel-mapping software for LED strips, dots and fixtures. Map any shape or size, from 2,048 to 4.2 million eDMX channels.

Complete LED control

Map any rig. Run any show.

ELM turns thousands of LEDs, any strip, dot or fixture, into one surface you can map in 2D or 3D and drive with live video, generative effects and audio-reactive shows, from a nightclub wall to a city-scale media façade.

Recreate your rig in 2D or 3D, paint video and effects across the whole map like one big screen, then drive your hardware in sync, from a single fixture to an entire building.

Speaks Art-Net, sACN and KiNet to drive ENTTEC and third-party pixel gear alike, on its own or alongside your console, and automates over OSC and a built-in HTTP API.

How ELM works

From bare LEDs to a mapped rig, fast.

Mapping is where you spend most of your time, so ELM’s vector tools make it quick, whether you’re placing a single strip or thousands of fixtures. No 3D or CAD experience needed to get a clean, accurate map.

01 Draw

Draw your rig

Lay out strips, dots and fixtures with vector tools. Use the expanded shape library or draw your own, split a long strip into sections without re-patching, or close a custom strip into a perfect loop.

02 Position

Position every pixel

Copy, paste, invert, rotate and lasso pixels into any configuration. ELM calculates the position of every LED from your drawing, and locate, test and identify options confirm the map matches the real rig.

03 Preview

Preview before you power on

Check your work in the built-in 2D monitor, and drop a photo of the real installation behind the map for true-to-life fidelity. Export an LED snapshot as a content guide for your motion designers.
