Oki
We are Era 47 Tour
I felt confident in endorsing LightAct for this project because they are constantly looking for ways to make the job of media server operators easier.

Mech Creative, our long time partner in Poland, have been members of the LightAct Frontrunner Initiative right from its inception. Through it, they could experience the growth of LightAct as a media server first hand.
In 2024, they realized LightAct is mature and stable enough for them to switch from other media servers and to use it as the main media server for the We are Era 47 tour of a famous Polish rapper Oki.
The preparation for the tour began in the summer of 2024 with the tour starting in November in the Polish city of Gdańsk.
LightAct’s sequencing tools are very intuitive and fast to work with so switching to LightAct was very smooth.

co-owner of Mech Creative
Kuba Czarnik, who designed lighting and multimedia and was the main LightAct operator in this tour, used LightAct’s new sequencing tools to the full extent.
He created a section for every song of the show and synced each section to a different time of the incoming LTC timecode.
LightAct 4.9 introduced Canvas Maps and Output Maps which greatly streamline the mapping of content to the video screens.

Kuba also used LightAct’s new feature called Canvas Maps which allowed him to easily map content from the video layers to the screens and adjust them automatically during the show itself.
Mech Creative also used 4 video capture inputs provided in their Unit v server. To optimize the load, they used LightAct’s flexible node graph called Layer Layouts. With it, they were able to switch video inputs on and off automatically during the show itself.
It was really easy to post-process live inputs without having to use any 3rd party tools.

Camera inputs are further processed inside LightAct with it’s flexible texture processing tools. This allowed Kuba to do the entire pipeline in LightAct alone without any 3rd party tools required.
After seeing LightAct’s development in the past few years, we were very excited to bring them on as one of our brands.

The entire show ran on a single Unit v server provided by LightAct’s Polish distributor Stage Source led by Radoslaw Zacheja.
