The free host and its modules · rate card below
The Uplink Cockpit is a free host for the live-production tools. You run it once; each tool you license unlocks as a module inside. No separate installs to chase. One Uplink account and one login cover the Cockpit, its modules, and netmap.
Prices in USD. Current builds are beta-numbered; a license includes the updates as they ship. Buying for a production or need an invoice? Write [email protected]. Every charge is refundable in full for 14 days — see refunds. Full agreement terms: EULA · beta terms.
Four modules are on sale and in active development — Switchboard is the flagship — and RDM Viewer returns as coming soon. Over a hundred versioned releases have shipped this year, and each license includes updates as they ship. Questions before you buy? Write [email protected].
One ceiling for the atmosphere
A hard cap for haze and fog on multi-artist rigs: per-channel sACN ceilings across up to eight artist feeds, one global master and kill, multi-console arbitration where the incumbent holds, a phone remote via QR, and fluid tracking with verified stock hazer profiles. The most road-tested of the tools.

Capture a look, play it back
Grab a live sACN look off the wire and play it back on cue: static states and recorded chases with a cue list, single/sequential/loop transport, and triggers from hotkey, MIDI, or OSC. Behind it sits a full programmer surface: executors, patch, fixture library with GDTF import. EO-safe output priority, so it never fights the override.

The override desk
A priority-200 sACN look you can throw from a hotkey, MIDI, OSC, incoming DMX, SMS, or a LoRa radio. Captured looks and silent-universe protection are built in. A production tool, not a life-safety system: test it before it runs on a live rig, and keep manual control.

The show network on one canvas
The flagship. A live topology map of the whole show network — switches, DMX nodes, consoles, computers, every device heard or learned — drawn from measured links only, never guesses. Passive discovery per NIC (sACN, Art-Net, MA-Net, NDI, mDNS); Netgear M4250 onboarding, SNMP health and bulk SSH configuration with preview and read-back verify; an expected-device roster that knows the difference between missing and unmeasured; VLAN plan deploy for the rig, and this Mac's own VLAN interfaces with saveable scenes. Absorbs the former Network Manager and Switch Manager, which retire with its launch.

Find the RDM devices
RDMnet (LLRP) and Art-Net RDM discovery across the whole rig: a live device table with addresses, modes and manufacturers, identify from the desk, and DMX address setting. Not on sale in its current state — it returns after the Switchboard launch.
Coming soon · in development
These are production tools, not safety systems. Test anything before it runs on a live rig, and keep manual control of the rig at all times.
The modules are shipping and on sale. If you would rather put them through a load-in before you buy, I bring testers on in small groups so each one gets real support.
Testers get every module unlocked, the beta build channel, and a direct line to the person who writes it.
