Compulite

What Compulite does

Compulite Systems (2000) LTD, headquartered in Hod Hasharon, Israel, is a privately held manufacturer of professional lighting control systems serving entertainment and broadcast production markets. Founded as a corporate entity in 2000 with operating roots traced to 1978, the company designs and sells hardware-based lighting consoles (Vibe and Vector families), dimmers (CompuDim line), Ethernet networking gateways (ePort family), and fixture accessories (WHISPER color scrollers, Corona dousers, Sunset integrated units). Its technical foundation is built on industry-standard DMX512, sACN, Art-Net and RDM protocols, extended with proprietary technologies including Virtual Connectors (Ethernet-based DMX universe routing with named destinations), CMX protocol for dimmer feedback redundancy, and an SQL database for show data storage on Vibe consoles. The Vibe family supports up to 256 DMX universes (131,072 parameters) with multi-touch interfaces, while the Vector family spans tiers from Vector Green (32 universes, small-to-medium venues) through Vector Ultra Black (flagship touring), with PC-based and physical-wing variants. A 30,000+ fixture profile library is supplied via integration partner AtlaBase Ltd, and the consoles interoperate with WYSIWYG and CompuCAD visualization software.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time hardware capital-equipment sales distributed via a global network of authorized resellers, supplemented by periodic paid (or included) software and device-pack upgrades. Revenue mechanics are quote-based with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer segments are horizontal across professional lighting use cases — theaters, opera, ballet, TV studios, touring concerts, theme parks and clubs — with named marquee installations including Radio Italia Live concerts in Palermo and Milan and the A2A Event, all serviced through the distributor channel rather than direct enterprise sales. The company has discontinued a long list of legacy product lines (Dlite, Spark, Rave, Sabre, Animator, Ovation, E-Mix, Photon) and the latest Vibe software release (R_7.0, 2024) is described as the last supported version, indicating a portfolio in maintenance mode. Leadership remains founder-centric with Yehuda Shukrun as owner and Aviv Shukrun as CTO.
