DPL:tools (Due 2026)

DPL:tools is the next generation tool for Project Managers, Production Managers, Lighting Engineers and Lighting Suppliers to organise their shows. We've sought to provide a missing tool in the Live Events Industry that provides a full repository of information to those who need it. 

We've worked really hard to bunch tools together to make this a HQ of information that can be developed and deployed in the design, advancing, prep and production stages of your event.

From fixture patches, to network schematics, cable pulls, to truck packs, we think we've put it all into this one handy app. Supporting tools will also include network sniffers, RDM control, Desk Switching for more robust FOH setups, label printing and LX handbook creation. 

We're currently still developing and means testing the software itself. A release will be due in 2026. If you want to get involved in the development and beta testing, or if you have any suggestions, please email hello@dawsonpl.co.uk with your details!
