Native Apple Silicon
Built to run natively on M1, M2, and later chips. No Rosetta translation layer, no emulation overhead — full silicon performance for LED pixel calculations.
100k+ Pixel Support
Control installations with 100,000 and more individual LED pixels from your Mac. The 64-bit rendering core handles large-scale calculations efficiently on Mac hardware.
Same Project on Win & Mac
Create your project on a Mac, run it on a Windows machine at the venue, or vice versa. The project file format is identical across platforms — no conversion required.
macOS Network Setup
Ethernet configuration made clear
Connecting LED hardware to a Mac involves configuring a dedicated Ethernet interface with a static IP address. LSS4's manual covers this setup step by step for macOS — from System Settings to the exact IP and subnet values needed to communicate with LEC3 and Reactivo 2 devices.
The setup process is well-documented and usually takes under five minutes. Once configured, LSS4 auto-discovers your connected devices and you're ready to start mapping.
- Step-by-step macOS Ethernet configuration guide
- Static IP setup for LEC3 and Reactivo 2 devices
- Auto-discovery of connected hardware after setup
- Works with built-in Ethernet or USB-Ethernet adapters
Screen Grabber on Mac
Privacy settings for screen capture
On macOS, the Screen Grabber feature requires permission in Privacy & Security settings. You'll need to check the checkbox next to LSS4 under Screen Recording. Once enabled, you can capture any region of your Mac desktop and display it live on your LED installation — including output from other apps like Resolume, MadMapper, or video players.
- Enable in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording
- Capture any region of the Mac desktop
- Works with any application that displays on screen
- Low latency real-time capture for live events
