The Launchpad is our standalone Mercury laser control system, designed for any ILDA-equipped projector and built as a true pro-grade solution. It delivers freestanding Mercury control, DMX node functionality, sACN compatibility, ILDA input/output, powerCON True in/out (no wall-wart PSU), and an integrated EtherStop network switch—making it the only controller of its kind.
Launchpad lets you run Mercury on any existing projector, offering the same master/builder features and direct-console workflow used in our Mercury-equipped systems. It can also act as a compact desktop network hub or Art-Net/sACN node, replacing multiple devices on your bench.
Design Notes: Sized for stability, ease of use as a bench-top fixture, and to accommodate a full Mercury system plus integrated power supply, DMX I/O, ILDA I/O, and Ethernet pass-through.
ILDA I/O: The ILDA input works like other Mercury systems with external input options that follow master zoning. The ILDA output allows you to run any ILDA projector directly from Mercury.
Primary uses include converting DMX, Art-Net, or sACN into an ILDA signal for one or multiple projectors, while doubling as a small network hub and protocol node—streamlining your setup and reducing extra gear.
