How much does a Resolume operator cost?

From $1,295 including deck prep, operator and media server hardware. Multi-screen shows and festival days are quoted on scope — expect a reply within 24 hours.

Do you supply the screens and projectors too?

Yes. We can run visuals into venue screens, or supply LED panels and projectors as part of the package. One supplier, one quote, one crew on the day.

Can you use our brand content and videos?

Definitely — send files ahead of the event and we'll conform them to the output resolution, organise them into the show deck and cue them against your run sheet.

What's the difference between playback and VJing?

Playback is precise cued content — corporate slides, stings, montages. VJing is live mixing of visual layers to music. We do both, often in the same night.

Can visuals sync with the lighting?

Yes — we link Resolume with the lighting console so colour and intensity move together. It's the difference between a screen in a lit room and one coherent show.

Resolume Operation

Live visuals driven by an operator who knows the software cold

Resolume Arena playback, live VJing and LED wall content — mapped, composited and mixed in real time by operators who've done it at festival scale.

The tool

Resolume Arena, run by people who live in it

Resolume Arena is the industry-standard media server for live visuals, and it rewards operators who know it deeply — layer routing, effect chains, output mapping, BPM sync and timecode all have to work together under show pressure. Ours do. We build your content into a structured deck before the event: clips organised per act or segment, transitions rehearsed, LED wall or projector outputs mapped and colour-checked. Then on the night we mix live, riding the music and the moment rather than letting a playlist run unattended. Resolume also drives our projection mapping playback, so if your event combines mapped surfaces with screens, one operator and one system runs the lot.

Layered live visuals filling an event space with motion

Use cases

VJ sets, LED walls and corporate playback

The same skill set covers very different rooms. Festival and club work is classic VJing — audio-reactive layers, beat-synced cuts and content that matches each artist's energy, the kind of sets we've run at Byron Bay venues and festival stages. Corporate events use Resolume differently: speaker support slides, sponsor loops, award stings and brand content, all cued precisely against the run sheet with zero dead screens between segments. Weddings sit in between — ambient textures through dinner, a photo montage cued to the speeches, party visuals when the dance floor opens. Content can be yours, ours, or built custom; for generative and interactive work we bring in TouchDesigner alongside.

Booking

Operator plus system, quoted in 24 hours

Resolume operation starts from $1,295, covering deck preparation, the operator, and the media server hardware — a show-spec machine with backup, not a laptop crossing its fingers. Add LED walls, projectors or full show design and we'll package it as one quote with one crew, delivered, installed and packed down anywhere across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers. If you're planning a festival or multi-act event, our technical production service wraps visuals, lighting and staging into a single production plan. Send your event details through the contact page and we'll come back with an approach and firm pricing within 24 hours.

Event space energised by synchronised visuals and lighting
