Advanced hardware integration and intelligent fixture patching
Offering seamless integration with both MIDI controllers and Elgato Stream Deck devices, Ikan Light Deck puts hands-on control right at your fingertips. With it, you can assign MIDI inputs to any fader for precise, tactile adjustments or use Stream Deck buttons to instantly trigger scenes and presets with a tap. The built-in Stream Deck plug-in supports fully customizable actions and profiles, making Light Deck an ideal solution for both dynamic live productions and streamlined studio setups. Furthermore, you can optimize your rig with Light Deck’s intelligent, fixture-aware patching system, which allows you to select from an extensive fixture library, apply custom naming, and auto-sort faders by fixture type for intuitive access. Beyond that, the patching interface reveals detailed channel mapping, while labeled faders clearly display the function of each control, from brightness and color temperature to unique fixture-specific capabilities.
