TraceLock System for Venue Lighting Projects
Automated Follow Spot Tracking for Live Performance Venues
TraceLock helps theaters, concert halls, studios, theme parks, restaurants, and entertainment venues convert DMX moving-head fixtures into active follow spot tools for performers, presenters, characters, and show routes.
For buyers comparing smart stage lighting control solutions, the system brings host control, tracking beacons, signal base stations, and DMX output into one practical workflow for lighting teams that need stable motion without adding more manual spotlight operators.
As an auto-track light system manufacturer, LITEVISION supports project evaluation around fixture quantity, venue size, tracking zones, performer count, control interface, and integration with the installed lighting desk.
Venue Tracking Workflow and Product Specifications
TraceLock is planned around the operating reality of live venues: performer movement, fixture response, DMX addressing, base station placement, and quick operator adjustment from tablet, mobile, or console workflows.
Description
The TraceLock system links tracking tags, signal base stations, host processing, and DMX control so moving-head lights can follow assigned targets during performances. It is especially relevant for venues that need repeatable show positions, reduced manual follow spot workload, and practical integration with existing lighting infrastructure.

Technical Director, United Kingdom
Our theater team needed a tracking system that could be assessed against existing moving heads and a fixed control room workflow. The TraceLock discussion helped us define fixture count, target routes, and base station positions before budgeting.

We compared options for performer tracking in a multipurpose stage. TraceLock stood out because the planning conversation covered real fixture behavior, performer count, and how to keep follow lighting manageable for touring events.
TraceLock Project FAQ
Technical answers for venue buyers, lighting designers, distributors, and integration teams preparing an auto tracking lighting project.
How does TraceLock support performer tracking in live venues?
TraceLock uses tracking beacons, signal base stations, and a host controller to map performer position data into fixture movement instructions. The system is designed for moving-head lighting projects where operators need steadier follow action across stages, dining areas, studio floors, or show routes.
Can the system work with existing DMX moving-head fixtures?
The product page positions TraceLock as a system that can turn standard DMX moving-head lights into smart follow spot tools. Final fixture matching should be checked against the DMX channel plan, pan and tilt response, control mode, and the lighting console setup used in the venue.
What should be planned before installing base stations?
A project plan should confirm stage dimensions, ceiling or truss positions, performer routes, RF conditions, cable paths, and clear sight lines. Base station placement is usually planned around coverage density and the practical mounting points available in the venue.
How many fixtures and performers can be managed?
TraceLock is listed with support for up to 60 fixtures, up to 4 tracked targets, 1024 DMX channels, and up to 32 tracking effects. The usable configuration for a real project depends on the fixture profile, DMX addressing, stage layout, and operator workflow.
Is the system suitable for restaurants and theme park venues?
Yes, the application direction suits restaurants, theme parks, theaters, concerts, and studio spaces where moving lights must follow hosts, performers, characters, or show positions. Each site should be evaluated for coverage, mounting height, ambient signal conditions, and cue complexity.
What information helps LITEVISION prepare a project quotation?
Useful quotation details include venue drawings, stage size, fixture model list, DMX console type, target performer count, tracking zones, cable route requirements, preferred control workflow, and whether the project needs a new lighting package or integration with installed fixtures.
