The world of lighting according to Visual Productions

Selecting a lighting controller that truly meets operational requirements can prove more complex than expected. Visual Productions addresses this need with a comprehensive range of professional solutions engineered to ensure efficiency, operational continuity, and seamless integration. These hardware and software solutions prioritize ease of use, interoperability, and flexibility, making them particularly well suited for architectural, corporate, and retail installations.

In this article, we will examine the main application scenarios, highlighting how these controllers enhance every project through advanced control features, long-term reliability, and compatibility with third-party lighting systems.

Visual Productions devices stand out as some of the most versatile and intelligent solutions in today’s lighting control landscape. Designed for architectural, museum, retail installations and all applications where reliability, automation, and integration are essential, these systems combine a compact design with powerful and flexible hardware. The brand’s philosophy is clear: to deliver tools that simplify programming, ensure operational continuity, and adapt seamlessly to heterogeneous systems through open protocols and intuitive workflows.

An overview of the Visual Productions ecosystem

These devices are designed to manage and automate lighting systems. Thanks to the multiple supported protocols (DMX, Art-Net, OSC, UDP, DALI), they can seamlessly communicate with products from different brands, ensuring an open and scalable ecosystem.

The main hardware components — which can be explored in greater detail in the dedicated sections — include: IoCore2, B-Station2, CueCore2, QuadCore, TimeCore, Cuety, CueCore3, and DaliCore. All share the same standards of robustness and reliability: they feature no moving parts or cooling fans, are engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, and are supplied with a power adapter, while also supporting PoE power.

The range is complemented by two additional models, RdmNode and SpiNode, respectively a DMX/RDM splitter and a 4-port SPI converter.

A distinctive feature of Visual Productions devices is the integrated web server. Through a browser-based interface, users can configure IP addresses, Art-Net/DMX universes, OSC/UDP communication ports, monitor input and output signals, schedule time-based events (by month, day, and hour), define triggers for specific actions, and manage playbacks containing lighting scenes with DMX values.

The portfolio is further enhanced by dedicated software solutions such as Cuelux and CueluxPro, designed for programming and managing lighting shows from a PC, as well as touchscreen interfaces like KioscTouch2, which enables the creation of custom graphic panels for direct control of dynamic lighting systems.

Together, the hardware and software form a complete, compact, and easily scalable system.

The key strengths of Visual Productions products are:

• Ease of use: the same interface across the entire product range, programming based on clear logic structures (triggers, actions, timeline), browser-based configuration without dedicated software, reduced commissioning time, etc.
• Integration: compatibility with AV platforms such as Q-SYS and support for multiple protocols.
• Reliability: robust construction with no moving parts, designed to ensure continuous 24/7 operation.
• DIN rail mounting: as an international standard, it allows different devices (controllers, power supplies, interfaces, relays) to be installed within the same electrical cabinet while maintaining a clean layout. In addition: extremely fast maintenance and replacement, enhanced system safety and durability, immediate integration with other systems.

A wide range of applications

Visual Productions adopts a pragmatic approach focused on operational continuity. Its controllers are engineered for permanent installations and for architectural or corporate environments, where the priority is not the spectacle of effects for their own sake.

These products meet the needs of lighting designers and installers who are required to control LED strips, architectural fixtures, or complex systems using protocols such as DMX, Art-Net, sACN, DALI, OSC, UDP, and TCP. The previously mentioned compatibility with platforms such as Q-SYS, along with openness toward third-party ecosystems, makes these controllers particularly well suited to professional environments where lighting, audio, video, and automation systems must interact efficiently.

One of the key strengths of the Visual Productions platform is its scalability: a CueCore3 controller, for example, provides four native DMX universes, but by networking one or more RdmNode units, the system can be expanded up to 32 universes, with automatic license scaling and additional physical outputs. This makes it possible to manage large-scale architectural installations without replacing the core hardware.

• Retail, museums, and hospitality: environments where operational continuity and ease of management are top priorities.

The combination of controllers, RDM nodes, SPI converters, and expansion tools creates a flexible, open ecosystem designed to integrate seamlessly with virtually any system available on the market

Conclusions

As outlined above, Visual Productions promotes an approach built on simplicity and reliability: museums, retail environments, clubs, hotels, multimedia rooms, conference halls, and cultural venues find in these controllers an intuitive, scalable solution that can be easily managed even by non-technical staff.

The brand is also highly regarded in smaller-scale installations — such as meeting and conference rooms — as well as in individual franchise retail outlets, where the SPI protocol is often used in combination with LED strips to create dynamic lighting effects within the store environment.

Across all these scenarios, Visual Productions proves to be a reliable partner thanks to the availability of wall panels and touchscreen interfaces that enable the creation of straightforward, cost-effective systems that are quick to configure, while ensuring significant savings in operational costs.
