The Story

OMNA

One developer, one stubborn idea.

Omna, the DMX Nomad

Omna is a small device that turns an addressable LED strip into a lighting fixture with a mind of its own. It renders the light itself: procedural patterns, motion and evolution, sensor reactivity, and multi-protocol DMX, live, on the device. A static install or a wall of pixels becomes something a lighting desk can drive directly.

Lighting philosophy

Omna treats light like an instrument. It speaks plain DMX, so the desk you already trust stays in control. The goal is light with a human touch. Reactive when you want it, restrained when you don't: lighting that transforms a room without overstimulating it.

Who's behind it

I'm Willem Brosz, a software developer who's spent years behind decks and lighting rigs, DJing and producing lights for friends and at local festivals.

I built Omna because nothing else did the one thing I needed: a hardware-only, reconfigurable translation layer between plain DMX and addressable LEDs. No server, no laptop — just light.

It's one person's work, still being refined.
