Live DMX, rendered in 3D
Patch a console or media server and watch it on screen. Live Art-Net & sACN drive intensity, pan/tilt, colour, gobos, strobe and zoom in real time — no offline export, no guessing.

Stage-Wiz turns live Art-Net & sACN into a real-time 3D stage — moving heads, WS2812 pixel tubes, CO₂ foggers and NDI® video walls, all rendered at true 1:1 metres. Pull any fixture from the built-in GDTF Share library, then program and present the look before a single truss goes up.

What it does
Everything that makes a show — in one room.
Stage-Wiz is built for the work designers and operators actually do: get the rig on screen, drive it from real control, and trust what you see.
True 1:1 metres
Everything is modelled to scale — 1 unit = 1 metre. Sightlines, throw distances and trim heights are real, not approximate.
NDI® video walls
Stream live NDI® or built-in test patterns onto virtual LED walls with per-cabinet mapping — the Novastar VX-class workflow, previsualized.
WS2812 pixel tubes that hang right
Addressable pixel tubes with real catenary sag between fix points. Emulate actual controllers — Advatek PixLite, DMXKing LeDMX, MADRIX NEBULA, ENTTEC Pixelator, Falcon — pixel-mapped or effect-engine.

Every fixture, one search
The GDTF Share library is built in. Log in, search thousands of real fixtures by name and pull any of them straight into your show — or import your own GDTF files and full MVR rigs. Geometry, modes and DMX footprints come along.

Multi-universe patching
Net / Sub-Net / Universe addressing with conflict detection and one-click auto-address after a mode change.
Looks, cameras & clean view
Capture lighting states, save camera bookmarks, hide the UI for clients and export a photo.
Atmospherics
Volumetric haze and CO₂ upfoggers make beams read the way they will in the room.
Compatibility
Every fixture you can name.
Stage-Wiz has the GDTF Share library built in — log in and pull any of thousands of real fixtures straight into your show, no manual setup. On top of that, it deeply emulates the pixel and tube controllers that generic profiles can't.

Novastar VX-class workflow
Workflow
From empty stage to final look.
- 01
Build the rig
Import fixtures and full rigs from GDTF / MVR, or drop in moving heads, pixel tubes, LED walls and foggers. Everything snaps to a 1:1-metre stage.
- 02
Patch & connect
Address by Net / Sub-Net / Universe with live conflict checks, then point a console or media server at the machine. Art-Net and sACN come in side by side.
- 03
Preview & present
Program against what you see, capture looks, set camera bookmarks, hide the UI for a clean client view and export a photo to send to the team.
A closer look
Made for the fiddly parts.
The details that decide whether a previz tool earns a spot in your workflow: clean patching, honest pixel maps, and looks you can recall on cue.

What’s the difference between Hobbyist and Pro?
Hobbyist is the complete visualizer for personal, non-commercial use with up to 2 DMX universes. Pro adds unlimited universes, multi-universe pixel mapping, priority support and a license for commercial work.
Which protocols and consoles does it work with?
Anything that outputs Art-Net or sACN (E1.31) — grandMA, Avolites, Chamsys, Hog, ETC, QLC+, Resolume, MADRIX and others. Stage-Wiz listens on the network; no special hardware required.
Can I use my real fixtures?
Yes — the GDTF Share library is built in. Log in and search thousands of real, manufacturer-grade fixtures, then download any of them straight into your show. You can also import your own GDTF files and full MVR rigs (geometry, modes and DMX footprints included). For LED tubes, Stage-Wiz additionally emulates real controllers like Advatek PixLite, DMXKing LeDMX, MADRIX NEBULA, ENTTEC Pixelator and Falcon.
What do I need to run it?
macOS 12 (Monterey) or later on Apple Silicon, or Windows 10/11 64-bit with a GPU that supports WebGL 2. It runs comfortably on a modern laptop.
Do I need to be online?
Only to activate. Each license node-locks to your machine and includes a 30-day offline grace window, so it keeps working on a show with no internet. A subscription includes 2 activations so you always have a spare seat.
How do I cancel or move my license?
Manage or cancel anytime from your Lemon Squeezy customer portal — no email required. Deactivate inside the app (About → Subscription) to free a seat and activate on another machine.
Is NDI® supported, and is it included?
Yes. Stage-Wiz receives live NDI® sources onto virtual LED walls using the NDI® runtime. NDI® is a registered trademark of Vizrt NDI AB.
