The Cygnus WP3 DMX Playback Wall Plate is a professional wall-mounted control interface designed to trigger lighting scenes and shows recorded on the Cygnus QR DMX recorder. Built for simplicity and reliability, this unit provides a clean, user-friendly solution for controlling lighting without the need for a full DMX controller.
Developed as part of the wider Cygnus ecosystem, the WP3 enables seamless integration into commercial and architectural lighting systems, delivering intuitive scene recall at the touch of a button. It is particularly well suited to environments where staff or end users require straightforward control without technical knowledge.
Simple, Intuitive Scene Control
The WP3 features three backlit buttons, allowing users to easily trigger pre-programmed lighting scenes even in low-light environments. This makes it highly effective in hospitality venues, performance spaces, and public-facing environments where quick and reliable access to lighting control is essential.
Designed specifically to work alongside the Cygnus QR recorder, the wall plate acts as a physical interface for playback, removing the need for ongoing interaction with a lighting desk or software-based controller. Once scenes are programmed and stored, users can recall them instantly via the wall-mounted panel.
Streamlined Installation
Installation is streamlined and efficient, with the WP3 powered directly via a CAT5 connection from the Cygnus QR. This reduces the need for additional power infrastructure and simplifies cabling, making it ideal for both retrofit projects and new installations.
The unit is designed to fit into a standard electrical back box, ensuring a clean, professional finish that integrates seamlessly into walls alongside other AV or electrical interfaces. This aligns with best practice in fixed installations, where wall-mounted DMX interfaces provide tidy, accessible control points for lighting systems.
Ideal for Commercial AV Environments
In commercial environments such as bars, restaurants, hotels and retail spaces, the WP3 provides a practical way to standardise lighting control. Staff can switch between scenes such as daytime ambience, evening mood lighting or event settings without requiring any technical setup, improving operational efficiency and consistency across the venue.
For theatres, performance spaces and event venues, it offers a simple method of triggering pre-programmed cues or fallback scenes, supporting both daily operation and contingency use cases where quick access to lighting states is required.
