S-PLAY LITE

The ENTTEC S-PLAY Lite is a 16-universe smart light show recorder and playback controller with built-in scene creation, timeline editor, scheduling, and multi-protocol support for professional architectural and entertainment lighting automation.

From the Manufacturer

The S-PLAY Lite is an all-in-one show recorder and playback controller engineered for precise, hassle-free lighting automation in permanent installations. It combines a 16-universe DMX recorder, a web-based scene creation engine with a built-in effects generator, and a multi-protocol AV host capable of handling light shows, video triggers, and machinery control simultaneously. Record light scenes into static or dynamic cues from external sources via sACN or Art-Net, or from physical DMX universes using the onboard XLR ports. Build playlists using the intuitive timeline editor — drag and drop cues, adjust durations, set fade in/out, and loop or group playlists as needed. Trigger playback in real-time via contact closure, RS232, OSC, UDP, DMX, Art-Net, sACN, or from building automation systems, iPad apps, pressure pads, motion detectors, or push buttons.

The S-PLAY Lite's scheduler supports long-term automated playback with precise local time synchronization via NTP, and a customizable web-based user interface simplifies direct control for end users. An open HTTP and OSC API enables flexible integration with third-party control systems. Internal show storage is 8GB — approximately 20 hours of 16-universe content at 40fps — expandable via Micro SD card. The S-PLAY Lite mounts in a rack, surface, or TS35 DIN rail with included hardware, and is powered via 12–24V DC or IEEE 802.3af PoE. UL Listed and internationally certified.
