What's in the free demo

The same software you'd run in production — no feature gates, no time limit, no signup.

Every feature unlocked

Up to 800 universes, ArtNet, sACN, KiNet, OSC, MQTT, REST API, scheduling, timeline editor, recording, JavaScript scripting, custom menus — all of it. Connect to real fixtures and build full shows.

One small caveat

In demo mode, DMX output briefly stops for 1 minute every 16 minutes. Everything else keeps running — perfect for evaluation, prototyping, training, and offline programming.

No account, no email

Click download, install, run. We don't ask for an email address, and the demo never expires. Try it as long as you need before buying a license.

Ready for production?

Buy a license to remove the demo gate

Once you've validated DMX Core in your environment, a single license activates the same install for permanent, uninterrupted output. Licenses are tied to the machine they're activated on.

Basic License — $399

Up to 8 universes. Everything you need for smaller installations.

Full License — $599

Up to 800 universes. For larger venues and multi-area deployments.

Prefer dedicated hardware?

DMX Core 100 also ships as a touchscreen appliance — no PC required. Same software, same features, in a 4.3" or 7" PoE-powered unit.
