LightAct and Creative Technology Announce Partnership
Ljubljana, Slovenia – August 22, 2025 – LightAct, a leading media server software solution provider, is proud to announce a new partnership with Creative Technology UK, a premier supplier of event technology. This collaboration will certify Creative Technology’s hardware to run LightAct’s software, combining two industry-leading solutions for enhanced performance and reliability in live events.
As the number of certified LightAct operators grows globally, the demand for high-quality, pre-certified hardware solutions is greater than ever. To meet this need, LightAct is strategically expanding its network of certified hardware providers around the world, with Creative Technology being the first partner in this initiative.
We are thrilled to certify Creative Technology’s robust G-series range of media servers. Designed for the most advanced and complex shows, these machines will be pre-loaded with the entire suite of LightAct software solutions, with all features unlocked.
The certified G-series media servers will be available for rent through Creative Technology UK starting in September 2025. This partnership ensures that besides LightAct hardware, operators have also access to reliable, high-performance 3rd party systems that are ready to run demanding shows from day one.
Big Shows, Fast Workflows
Certified Hardware
Over the past five months, we’ve trained around 100 operators, with about 20 more joining in September. We’re incredibly grateful for all the positive feedback we’ve received, and while there’s now a sufficient number of skilled LightAct operators on the market, the challenge has been a limited supply of LightAct servers.
To address this, we’ve started partnering with companies like Creative Technology, who have large fleets of their own hardware. For instance, our partnership with CT provides around 30 servers immediately available for your shows. We will be announcing partnerships with other hardware manufacturers in the coming weeks, and the number of certified servers will increase dramatically.
This means the problem of finding LightAct-capable hardware on the rental market is now a much smaller one. You can confidently specify LightAct for your next show, knowing there will be a server available for rent.
What about LightAct hardware?
LightAct Hardware is here to stay, period. It remains the best, most reliable, and most supported software-on-hardware solution. If you’re looking for a one-stop-shop, this is it.
Our certification process has made it clear that server’s configuration and setup play a major role in performance. This means that while we are 100% confident in the quality of all the hardware we have and will certify, we can guarantee specific performance levels only on LightAct hardware.
