Lightning Control System

Lightning is the world’s most intuitive and flexible meeting control system. It provides fully integrated switcher, graphics and camera control with an intuitive interface ideal for single operator use. Perfect for legislative assembly, house of worship, education and corporate broadcasts.

Technology Simplified

Only 30 minutes of training is needed to produce broadcasts effectively by controlling all of the equipment using an intuitive interface. No detailed technical knowledge required.

Room Flexibility

Adjust to changes that happen quickly and easily. Lightning is able to easily accommodate changes, such as switching seating arrangements, without costly service contracts or fees.

Operator Efficiency

Simplified control of broadcast equipment and automation means one operator can effectively produce an entire high-quality broadcast, without compromising unique workflow aspects of the location.

Production Quality

Keep your audience engaged with high quality broadcasts that ensure your viewers will be well-informed.

Employee Growth

Produce more meetings with available staff enabling shorter shifts, reduced operator fatigue, and ability to accomplish other important tasks with an improved overall work/life balance.

Support Services

Have a single company to contact if there ever is an issue, and access to 24/7/365 technical support to minimize any system downtime.

Lightning Overview Video

Broadcast technology is increasingly being used by governments to make legislative proceedings more accessible to constituents. Being a full-time legislator and a part-time broadcaster on a tight budget can seem like a daunting task, but it does not have to be.
