🕹️ Standalone — No Laptop
The entire show runs on a 5" touchscreen. Patch your fixtures, build looks, save scenes, and run the night — no computer, no lighting console, nothing to install.
🔄 4 Movement Patterns
Circle, Figure-8, Sweep, and Wander (organic random drift). Each with adjustable speed, range, and phase so fixtures fan and cascade instead of moving in lockstep. VFLOW reads each fixture's real pan/tilt range to keep circles round across a mixed rig.
🎯 XY Aim Pad
Drag the pan/tilt pad to point your rig anywhere, nudge with the D-pad, or one-tap re-center. Set range to zero and the pad becomes a precise manual-position control.
🎬 8 Instant Scenes
Your busking surface. Build 4–8 go-to looks, save them across scene slots, and tap to fire them to the music — instant, no menus. Hold a slot to save, hold again to overwrite, and double-tap to rename right on the touchscreen or from your phone.
🎨 Full Color Engine
Solid, Alternate, or Chase across the rig. 12 instant color swatches plus R/G/B (and White/Amber/UV) sliders for any custom mix. Mixed rigs handle themselves — RGB heads mix the color, color-wheel heads snap to their nearest slot.
⬛ Black-as-Color Chases
Drop BLACK into a chase and VFLOW pulses the dimmer instead of rotating the color wheel — real, punchy strobing chase effects that most controllers can't do cleanly.
🔦 Complete Beam Control
Strobe, gobo, prism, frost, zoom, focus, iris, and lamp strike — every control your fixtures actually have, exposed automatically. Big-lamp moving heads and simple washes live side by side on the same rig.
🅰️ Groups (A / B / C / D)
Split your rig and run different looks on different lights at the same time — wash bars on a slow blue fade while your movers rip a fast red figure-8. Color-coded, per-group patterns, colors, and beam.
🌫️ Master Fade & Blackout
A real console workflow: instant Blackout or a smooth timed Fade to black and back, right from the scene page. Blackout, swap the look in the dark, then fade in — or fade out and snap on. HID-safe: it keeps discharge arcs struck.
📶 Phone & Tablet Control
Connect over Wi-Fi and open a browser to vflow-xxxx.local — the full control surface, mirrored live. Walk the room and tweak the whole show from your phone. Nothing to download.
☁️ the Flow Library
An online fixture library sourced from the open-source GDTF Share database and growing constantly. Browse, pick your exact model, and it downloads onto the unit over Wi-Fi — alongside hundreds of ready-to-run profiles.
Requires Wi-Fi to browse and download. GDTF profiles are open-source and community-maintained — outside our control, so always verify fixture response before a live show.

🛠️ Custom Fixture Editor
Any light not in the library? Hand-build a profile on the touchscreen — assign each DMX channel a role. RGB washes, LED movers with color wheel/gobo, and traditional HID discharge fixtures all supported.
🔍 RDM Auto-Discovery
Stop reading addresses off the back of a truss. VFLOW asks the DMX line what is out there and the fixtures answer — manufacturer, model, current address, and how many channels they take. One tap patches the whole rig, and addresses already claimed by fixtures you haven't patched are left alone instead of trampled. Rebranded generics are matched back to the profile they really are.
🎛️ USB MIDI Control
Plug a class-compliant USB MIDI controller into the USB-A port and play the rig with real pads and knobs. Any controller — nothing is hard-coded to one model. Tap a slot, hit the pad or turn the knob you want, and it binds to whatever that control actually sends. Pads fire scenes, patterns, blackout, lamp and effects; knobs ride dimmer, speed, range, phase, strobe, fade and chase rate.
🎧 DJ Software Sync
VFLOW speaks OS2L, so Virtual DJ finds it on the network by itself — no IP to type in. Colour chases lock to the beat instead of drifting against it, and buttons in your DJ software fire scenes, blackout and effect groups straight from the deck. QLC+, MagicQ, Lightjams and Wolfmix speak it too.
💨 Effects Devices
Foggers, hazers and other DMX-triggered effect devices patched alongside the lights. Hold to fire or latch on, with an idle value held on the channel so a machine sits at rest between hits. One KILL stops everything at once, and the footswitch can be pointed straight at them — stomp for fog without touching the screen.
⏱️ Auto Scene
Let it run itself. VFLOW rotates through your saved scenes on a timer — anywhere from 5 seconds to 10 minutes — in order or shuffled. Set it going for dinner service or a support act, and take back manual control any time by tapping a scene.
🔗 FlowLink Multi-Unit Sync
Got two VFLOW units? Link them — one leads, the other mirrors its look phase-locked to its own fixtures. Perfect for a stage rig and a DJ-booth rig staying in step.
⬆️ Over-the-Air Updates
New features and fixtures arrive over Wi-Fi with one tap. Updates are safe — if one doesn't boot cleanly, the unit automatically rolls back to the previous firmware.
🦶 External Trigger Input
Wire a footswitch or contact closure to the unit and map it to Blackout, a specific Scene, cycle Pattern, Fade, fire Effects, or Hold Scene — hands-free, stomp-box style triggering during a set. Hold Scene jumps to a look for as long as you stand on it, then drops back.
🔒 Optional PIN Security
Lock the touchscreen and/or the web page with separate Admin and Operator roles — operators can run the show but not re-patch the rig. Ideal for venues, rentals, and volunteer crews.
🎨 8 Themes & Persistent Memory
Eight visual themes (Cyber, Crimson, Emerald, Sunset, Aurora, Mono, Amber, Mint) plus brightness control. Everything — patch, scenes, groups, settings — saves to flash and comes right back on power-up.
