DmxControlPro3 3.2 Release Notes

DmxControlPro3 release notes

Version 3.2 — 14 July 2026

DmxControlPro3 3.2 adds an optional local Agent API, Art-Net input monitoring, improved DMXVideoViewer discovery and project save/load and reliability fixes.

New in 3.2

Local Agent API

Compatible external AI assistants and other clients can inspect capabilities and live show state, then request supported channel, patchbay, preset, cue, window and project actions.

Controlled LAN access

The API stays on the show Mac by default. LAN clients require an enabled API key and must be on the same active local subnet.

Art-Net input monitoring

Inspect incoming Art-Net data alongside the existing DMX and show-control workflow.

DMXVideoViewer discovery

Improved controller discovery helps the companion viewer find DmxControlPro3 on the local show network.

Save/load reliability

Project persistence and related show-state handling include reliability fixes for dependable reopening and operation.

The regular app remains complete

The Agent API is optional. Direct controls, cues, DMX, Art-Net, MIDI, OSC and media workflows continue to work without an AI client.

A note about AI assistance

DmxControlPro3 does not include a cloud AI service. Version 3.2 exposes a local HTTP/OpenAPI interface that your own compatible external assistant can use. DmxControlPro3 does not relay prompts or show data to JV Multimedia; your chosen assistant has its own setup and privacy terms.

For live work, we recommend that the client inspects the current state, explains one bounded action and waits for the operator before it sends a change. Human approval is an operating workflow, not a mandatory approval dialog built into every API request.
