DIN-rail-mountable DMX recorder + smart light show controller
ENTTEC’s S-PLAY NANO is a compact show recorder and playback controller that simplifies professional lighting control. It records one complete Universe via DMX for up to 4 Static, Dynamic, or Effect Cues, or you can create gradient effects using the onboard pixel effects generator. The S-PLAY NANO integrates external devices like buttons, switches, or sensors for automated control via contact closures, UDP, or OSC. Its web interface allows drag-and-drop playlist design with customizable triggers, fades, and intensities. Playlists can be set to loop on power-up or triggered to run simultaneously with overlapping effects.

Cue: record + create effects
The S-PLAY NANO is a powerful, professional light show generation engine, featuring multiple ways of recording and creating content for your show.
Record light scenes into either static or dynamic cues from DMX using the physical port.
Use the internal web-based engine to generate gradient effect cues or simple light scenes by editing DMX values manually.
Playlist: design + integrate
Create playlists for DMX or pixel light shows using the intuitive timeline editor, and integrate both lighting and non-lighting equipment through multiple protocols and contact closures.
Use these components as building blocks in your playlists to initiate automation events using OSC and UDP.
Moreover, you can trigger playlists in real-time using external building automation software, iPad Apps, pressure pads, motion detectors, push buttons, and various other methods.
The S-PLAY NANO's sophisticated and intuitive playlist creation tools include:
- Drag and drop cues, events and triggers into the timeline
- Adjust the duration for static cues and effects
- Fade in/out for all cues
- Control playlist intensity in real-time
- Design your show with a combination of different cues, events and triggers
- Edit, loop, prioritise and group playlists
- Play single or multiple playlists
Playback: set + forget
Use the intuitive web-based creation tool to set up multiple playlists to play back on demand. The customised user interface simplifies commissioning to make playback easier than ever, with multiple installation options to secure your device with peace of mind.
Set up multiple playlists to playback simultaneously in various ways using real–time triggers or even custom user interface for different needs. The S-PLAY NANO optimises the intricate lighting setup within finger reach so you can set and forget.
Flexible installation options
The S-PLAY NANO offers versatile installation possibilities with both DIN-rail and surface-mount options, making it adaptable to a wide range of environments. Whether you're working in a compact space or a large-scale venue, the S-PLAY NANO can seamlessly integrate into your setup.
Firmware updates, backup, restore and playlist management can be accessed easily on the web interface at the local network.
