WINCH 5 connects directly to lighting consoles using network DMX protocols, including Art-Net and sACN, allowing seamless integration into live production workflows. The integrated 100W, 8-universe Pixel Node drives up to 4,096 pixels (1,024 RGBW), providing powerful control for connected LED fixtures and illuminated scenic elements. Smooth, precision motion—from slow, cinematic movement to rapid positioning—combined with synchronized control of multiple winches unlocks virtually limitless kinetic lighting and visual effects.

Engineered for reliability and safety, WINCH 5 incorporates comprehensive protection features for both standalone operation and large-scale multi-winch systems.
