Syncronorm

What Syncronorm does

Syncronorm GmbH is a German B2B software and hardware vendor headquartered in Arnsberg that serves the global entertainment industry with multimedia fountain control and stage visualization technology. Founded in 2006, the company targets lighting designers, production companies, fountain operators, and virtual-event producers, selling primarily through direct sales and a company-operated webshop, with customer acquisition reinforced by presence at major industry trade shows such as ISE (Barcelona) and LDI (Las Vegas).

The company's core platform is Depence, an all-in-one show control and 3D visualization system covering fountains, lighting, laser, video, special effects, and architectural elements, supporting industry-standard protocols including DMX-RDM, ArtNET, sACN, SMPTE timecode, and ModBus. Depence is complemented by the SyncroTools hardware line, which includes the V:Server 4 interactive standalone show controller (supporting up to 48 DMX universes across U8/U16/U48 variants), the V:Nano compact DIN-rail showplayer for smaller installations, plus the SyncroNode Ethernet DMX-RDM node, SyncroSwitch high-power relay module, SyncroADC, SyncroDAC, and SMPTE-USB Interface — all CE-certified. The integrated software-plus-proprietary-hardware stack is positioned around pre-visualization, show programming, and autonomous playback for complex multimedia installations.

Syncronorm generates revenue through two streams: Depence software licensing (offered in tiers to accommodate different project scales) and hardware sales of the SyncroTools product family. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers must contact the company or transact via the webshop. With 11-50 employees, a single headquarters in Germany, and no disclosed funding rounds, M&A, or parent-company relationships, Syncronorm operates as an independent private limited company serving a globally distributed project-based customer base across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America.
