What’s next for stage lighting?

Some lighting technologies that once felt like “advanced” gear are becoming more practical and accessible for theatres, schools, and performance spaces.

Join us for Next Level Lighting Concepts on Tuesday, September 8 at 7:00 p.m. as we explore:

DMX over Networks • Wireless DMX • Battery-Powered Lighting • Pixel Lighting Control

We’ll break down what these technologies do, where they make sense, and how they can open up new possibilities for your next production.

Free to attend. Everyone is welcome.

Join us in person at Resource Stage or online.

We had such a great time connecting with everyone at CITT Rendez-vous 2026. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared a few minutes with us for a quick interview, and took the time to tell us a little about what you do.

We’re excited to announce our three prize draw winners:
Grand prize winner - Janelle from University of Waterloo
Runner-up - Greg from Fredericton Playhouse

We hope you enjoy your prizes!

More importantly, thank you for being part of the conversation. It was great meeting new faces, catching up with familiar ones, and being part of such a great Canadian theatre community.

Until next time!

Did You Know?

Regular HDMI cables have their limits when it comes to longer cable runs. For distances beyond 50', professional HDBaseT technology can extend 4K HDMI signals much farther, with runs of up to 300' depending on the equipment and setup.

Planning a longer video run?
Horizon can help you choose the right solution for reliable signal delivery.

Did You Know?

Not all DI boxes are created equal. The quality of the components and transformer inside a DI can have a noticeable impact on the sound of your instrument. Lower quality transformers can affect the tone and leave you with a thinner sound.

A quality DI is an important part of getting the best out of your signal. Horizon carries professional DI solutions designed to help you get the sound you expect.

Not every adapter is the right adapter. Using random or incorrect connections between your computer and audio mixer can lead to poor sound quality, noise, or even damage to your equipment.

The right connection can make all the difference. Not sure what you need? Horizon can help you find the right solution for your setup.

Good troubleshooting isn't about randomly changing settings or swapping cables until something works. It's about having a process that helps you find the problem, one step at a time.

Something isn't working. Now what?

The lights aren't responding. The audio suddenly sounds wrong. The video signal has disappeared. And of course, it happens five minutes before the show starts.

We've all been there.

Good troubleshooting isn't about randomly changing settings or swapping cables until something works. It's about having a process that helps you find the problem, one step at a time.

In our latest Resource Stage blog, we share a few simple troubleshooting habits that can help you stay calm, work through the problem, and get your system back on track.

When choosing an LED wash fixture without a zoom, beam angle matters. A narrow beam can always be widened with diffusion, but you cannot easily make a wide beam narrower.

That is why it often makes sense to start narrow and go wider when you need to.

Not sure which fixture or beam angle is right for your space? Horizon can help you find the right fit.
