Lighting design software

Save time with a lighting design, documentation and visualisation software that is both easy to learn and rewarding to use! Capture is a native macOS and Windows application that lets you work with lighting, video, laser, moving scenery and water effects. Where Capture truly excels is with its ease of use and seamless switching between design, documentation and visualisation. This provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and ability to support different types of design processes. It encourages you to try out new workflows and find faster ways of working.

Documentation

Great plots and reports are only a click away in Capture! Design changes instantly update plots and reports, which saves you from having to redo any paperwork.

Visualisation

Bring lighting, media and motion into your visualisation. Our rendering engine's outstanding colour accuracy and amazing performance will impress you right away!

Capture Visiting Bregenz

Join us when we visit the Seebühne Bregenz as preparations were underway for the performance of Madame Butterfly. We will see how they work with Capture on this impressive outdoor theatre which is world famous for its spectacular location and amazing productions. It is also the birthplace of the Bregenzer Festspiele, a performing arts festival held every summer in Bregenz since 1946.

Eurovison 2021

Capture was used throughout 2021 Eurovision Song Contest by lighting designer Henk-Jan van Beek and his team Light-H-Art, resulting in a highly aesthetic design. Throughout the entire project we supported ESC’s Technical Supplier Ampco Flashlight who supplied the six Capture workstations used, and of course visited daily their active blog diary with news from the venue.
