Phantos is a modular, nodal show-control system — a lighting console, media server, and camera/switcher controller that resolve through a single priority merge. Not five products glued together. One system, one truth, on the hardware you already own.
Get notified at launch Founding programmeProgrammer, presets, groups, executors, FX, align and fan, per-channel priority merge. DMX, sACN, Art-Net.
Renders canvas to displays and NDI. Content, gobos, crossfades, warp and edge-blend, multi-node.
VISCA and PTZ, Panasonic AW, ATEM, Roland, PJLink — with a dedicated camera priority tier.
Natural-language control gated by an explicit safe word — nothing actuates without it. Camera and device-learning faculties are being built and proven now. AI never sits in the render path; every show runs with it off.
The defensible part isn’t any one faculty. It’s one merge arbitrating lights, media and cameras together — which nobody else does.

Your show files always save. Pre-programme at home free; the licence turns output on at the venue.
Licensed builds validate fully offline, forever — nothing fails at 7pm because the internet did.
v1 ships the core suite — console, merge, media, device control. 3D visualiser and deeper AI faculties come later.
One licence covers the whole system — every Command surface, every Light renderer, every node on your rig. Perpetual licence, first year of updates included, and founding customers keep $199/yr maintenance locked forever. In exchange: your feedback, your fixture list, and your name when you’re happy.
