Light Groups

Light Groups let you bundle multiple fixtures together and control them as a single unit. Instead of adjusting each light individually, you can control brightness, color, and power for an entire zone with one slider or toggle.

Creating a Light Group​

  1. Open the right-side slide-out remote in Vū Studio and click the Lighting tab
  2. Click New Group
  3. Give the group a name (e.g. "Stage Left", "Ceiling Wash", "Backlight Strip")
  4. Select the fixtures to include
  5. Save

Controlling a Group​

Once created, the group appears as a card in the Lighting tab with:

  • Intensity slider — scales all fixtures proportionally
  • Color sliders (RGB groups) — applies the same color to all fixtures
  • Hue / Saturation / Temperature (HSI groups) — unified color control

Individual fixture settings within the group are still accessible by expanding the group card.

RGB Light Groups​

Groups support full RGB control (added February 2026). For RGB fixtures:

  • Use the color picker to set a unified color across the group
  • The intensity slider scales the overall brightness independently of color
  • Individual RGB sliders are available per fixture for fine adjustment

Installed vs. Scene-Level Groups​

Installed light groups are permanently configured groups for a specific player installation. They persist across sessions and are available to all users connected to that player.

Scene-level lighting lets you override group settings per scene. When a scene is loaded, the lighting snaps to that scene's saved group states. See Scenes →.

Pixel Mapping Integration​

Light groups can be linked to pixel mapping zones — areas of LED strips or matrices that mirror specific regions of the display output. See Pixel Mapping →.

Tips​

  • Create groups that match the physical zones of your installation ("Front wash", "Side fills", "Back wall")
  • Save a lighting preset after setting up each group for easy recall
  • For virtual production, create a "Practical Kill" group containing all the lights you want to quickly cut during a shot
