ELM (ENTTEC LED MAPPER) 2026 Preview

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

ELM (ENTTEC LED Mapper) is pixel-mapping software that turns any LED install into one show you control. Map thousands of pixels in 2D or 3D and drive them from any console.

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.

01 Map

Map your rig

Tell ELM where every LED physically sits — lay out strips, dots and fixtures with fast vector tools, in 2D or true 3D. No CAD experience needed.

Vector tools2D & 3DShape library
02 Design

Design what plays

Play video, generated effects (“shaders”) or a live camera feed across that mapped shape. Composite and tune the layers live until it looks exactly right.

03 Send

Send it to the lights

Stream the right colour to every pixel over Art-Net, sACN and KiNet — spread across multiple NICs, so even city-scale rigs stay perfectly in sync.

New to mapping? ELM is built to be learned quickly, with online tutorials and a demo project to start from. You don’t need to be a 3D CAD engineer.

Shows that move with the music.

ELM’s audio-reactive Eye Candy effects lock your rig to a live audio feed, so clubs, gigs and events stay in time with the room, reacting beat to beat with no timeline to build or babysit.

Run the show from your iPad.

ELM runs on Windows, but you can drive it live from iOS and iPadOS. The remote API is built in as standard, so apps like TouchOSC by Hexler can recall states or run a full custom control surface.

Know the moment
a light goes dark.

On a facade, a bridge or a citywide scheme, fixtures fail quietly in the hardest places to reach. Sentry watches every one over RDM around the clock and alerts your team in-app, by email or SMS the moment something drifts out of range, while it's still a heads-up and not a dark pixel on a landmark.

Screen recording
Screen recording goes here: the live monitor catching a fixture overheating and firing the alert.
RDM over Art-Net Temperature, voltage & current Email & SMS alerts Scales to tens of thousands Dark-only, content-safe

And see exactly why.

An alert is only useful if you can trust it and act on it. Sentry shows its working.

Catch it before it fails

Per-fixture temperature, voltage and current, charted over time and checked against each fixture's own normal band, so you see a thermal climb building long before it becomes a dark pixel.

Temperature47 °C
Input voltage24.3 V

Pinpoint the fault fast

Group the whole site by gateway, model or custom zone ("North Facade", "Bridge Span"). Each gateway shows its RDM response time and a health dot, and Sentry says in plain language when the gateway is the problem, not ELM.

Alerts you can trust

Debounce and cooldown mean one clear alert per real problem, not a pager storm, and a recovery notice tells you when it clears. Faults reach an off-site crew by email or SMS, so no one has to watch a screen.

Never touches your show

Deep RDM sweeps run only while the rig is dark and stand down the instant content plays, so Sentry protects an unmanned, city-scale site without ever risking a frame of live output.

Pay only for the scale you output

You pay for output, not features. Pricing scales by universe count, so you only buy the size you're running, and licences stack as your setup grows.
