The power of Disguise in your hands

Unlock the leading visual experience software on your playback solution of choice.

A new era of creative freedom

For over 20 years, our Designer software has been the driving engine of the world’s most ambitious visual productions, powered by our wide range of high-performance hardware.

But creative teams today need to move fast between studios, stages, and screens without being tied to specific setups.

Now, we’re putting that same level of control, precision and creative freedom into a software-only solution.

X1 is an all-in-one tool for real-time visual control, mapping and playback at one 4K output, enabling you to deliver stunning visuals without racks of equipment.

Use Cases

Where is X1 used?

DJ SHOWS
Visual power that travels with you

Whether you're lighting up a nightclub, building a festival set, or mixing visuals live from stage, X1 gives you the tools to design and control your entire show from your laptop, wherever the gig takes you.

Drop in real-time content from Notch or TouchDesigner, trigger effects from MIDI, DMX or OSC devices, busk live shows with our Sockpuppet workflow for lighting consoles, and keep everything locked to the beat.

Plus, our upcoming TCNet implementation will improve transport control from Pioneer CDJs and mixers when programming visuals for DJs.

One tool for any project

From theatre to corporate events, X1 lets you previsualise every cue, map content to any screen, and trigger your show on a timeline, all from your own workstation.

X1 gives you the same real-time control and precision on smaller-scale live shows without the need for a full media server rack that you’d expect on the arena shows. 

Enjoy complete deployment flexibility by seamlessly making edits to your existing show file when travelling between shows. Scale video outputs up or down according to the screen requirements of the venue, without the need for re-programming.

Testimonials

Hear from our users

Central Cee Americas Tour
X1 allowed us to pack light, easing the burden of transporting kit between multiple venues - but it also meant everything could stay on Disguise and I didn’t have to re-programme the show with a different solution.
Alex Loftie

Video Programmer

Festival Napa Valley
Having this new solution doesn’t totally eliminate the need for server-run shows. But it makes show control so much more accessible, and being able to use X1 in a festival scenario like this has been a dream.
Kate Freer

Projection Designer

Bullet For My Valentine Tour
Live shows on tour are never carbon copies of each other. Last minute changes come up every time, and using X1 meant we were able to keep up with the rest of production and make quick, crucial edits on site.
Glenn Jenkins

Video Engineer
