What Stage Precision does

Stage Precision GmbH is a privately held German software company headquartered in Maintal that develops the SP Grid Platform, a real-time 3D spatial control system for unifying Audio, Video, Lighting, and Media (AVLM) devices plus sensors across live events, studios, and immersive installations. The platform is built around a modular architecture with cross-platform deployment (Windows, iOS, Android, web), a low-code-to-Python development environment, and 100+ certified native device integrations spanning camera tracking, LED processors, media servers, lighting consoles, audio-over-IP systems, LiDAR, and kinetic controllers. The product portfolio includes Grid Studio (freemium development environment), Grid Runtime (headless playback), Grid Viewer (multi-device interface streaming), Grid Shield (Unreal Engine 5 plugin for virtual production), Grid Gateway (remote Windows management), Grid Recorder (UDP capture and replay), Grid Engine (1U rack-mounted server), and Grid Touch (PoE Android wall panels in 4–15 inch sizes).

The company monetizes through a credit-based licensing model with 3-month, 1-year, and perpetual tiers (EUR 2–20 per credit, minimum 25 credits), plus standalone hardware sales, monthly/perpetual Grid Recorder subscriptions (EUR 300), enterprise pool licensing for bulk credit distribution, and paid add-ons for AI extensions, calibration toolkits, timeline show calling, physics simulation, and lighting tracking. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (free Grid Studio download seeding a credit-purchase funnel) with enterprise field sales for Grid Engine and large deployments, a global Service Partner (ASP) and Integration Partner network for channel delivery, and Apple App Store distribution for Grid Viewer iOS. Customers include enterprise end-users in theatre, esports, broadcast, virtual production, immersive dining, and higher education, with notable deployments at Volksoper Wien, Games of the Future 2025 (8 stages), Esports World Cup 2025, Anaheim Ducks Honda Center, Trilogy Studios, Eatrenalin, and Woohoo Restaurant Dubai, alongside an SP NextGen education program for universities.

Revenue model

1. Credit-Based Software Licensing: Grid Studio and Grid Runtime deployment requires purchasing credits that remove data watermarks. Credits are purchased based on the time duration (3-month, 1-year, perpetual) and the number of credits needed for features and connections in the project. Flexible subscription model where users pay only for what they need.
2. Grid Recorder Software Licensing: Standalone capture and replay software available as monthly rental license or perpetual licensing for lifetime ownership. Monthly: EUR 300; Perpetual: EUR 300.
3. Hardware Sales - Grid Engine: Purpose-built 1U rack-mounted server for Grid Studio and Runtime deployments. Bundled with credit packs for savings. Available as standalone unit or with credit bundle options including unlimited credits, 1-year and 3-month packages.
4. Hardware Sales - Grid Touch: Wall-mount touch panels in 4", 8", 10", and 15" display options. SP Viewer Credits are included with this product. Available for quote through sales team.
5. Enterprise Licensing - Pool Credits: Enterprise credit pools via bulk purchase options for flexible license distribution across teams, sites, and projects. Admin tools for managing credits pool.

Core offering

Stage Precision develops the SP Grid platform, a real-time 3D spatial control system that unifies Audio, Video, Lighting, Media (AVLM) and sensor technologies for live events, virtual production, broadcast studios, and immersive installations. The platform connects 100+ certified device integrations and supports Python-based custom extensions for control, automation, calibration, and UI creation across Windows, iOS, Android, and web environments.

Product overview

Stage Precision's SP Grid Platform is a unified platform-plus-modules architecture combining software and hardware for real-time control, connectivity, calibration, automation, UI creation, and spatial data management across AVLM (Audio, Video, Lighting, Media) and sensor environments. The portfolio centers on Grid Studio (free core development software), extended by deployment products including Grid Runtime (locked playback environment), Grid Viewer (multi-device interface streaming for iOS/Android/web), Grid Shield (Unreal Engine 5 integration plugin), Grid Gateway (remote Windows device management), Grid Recorder (UDP capture and replay), Grid Engine (1U rack-mounted SP-designed hardware), and Grid Touch (PoE wall-mounted Android touch panels in 4"–15" sizes). All software deployment uses a credit-based licensing model for scaling.

Broad incumbents

• Crestron Electronics: Crestron is an established leader in commercial AV control, room automation, and AV-over-IP distribution (NVX, PTZ, DM). It overlaps with SP Grid on enterprise AV control but as part of a much broader portfolio spanning rooms, buildings, and unified communications.
• AMX (Harman): AMX is a long-standing AV control and automation brand under Harman, serving boardrooms, lecture halls, and venues. It addresses the same AVLM control category as SP Grid but with a more generalist, room-automation focus rather than live event/VP specialization.
• Q-SYS (QSC): Q-SYS is a software-based audio, video, and control platform widely deployed in commercial and entertainment venues. It competes with SP Grid in the AVLM control layer for installations and live events, but from a much larger installed base across enterprise AV.

Direct peers

• Resolume: Resolume is a media server and live VJ software widely used for live events, mapping, and immersive installations. It overlaps with SP Grid on real-time video playback and mapping workflows and is listed as a Stage Precision integration partner.
• Pixera (AV Stumpfl): Pixera is a media server and show control platform widely used in live events, immersive installations, and virtual production. It overlaps directly with SP Grid on media server control, multi-display mapping, and show control workflows, and is explicitly listed as an SP Grid integration partner.
• Disguise: Disguise provides media servers, render engines, and a control platform (Designer, Renderstream, Cloud) used for virtual production, live events, and immersive experiences. Both companies target the same high-end VP and live event customers, and Stage Precision integrates directly with Disguise (v2.0.4 certified).
• Dataton Watchout: Watchout is a long-established multi-display presentation and media server system used in museums, live events, and large-scale shows. It competes with SP Grid on the show-control side of multi-display/multi-screen productions and is one of Stage Precision's certified integrations.

Emerging players

• Brompton Technology: Brompton Technology manufactures Tessera LED video processors used in virtual production volumes and large LED screens. While it owns the LED processing layer that SP Grid controls, both companies sell into the same VP workflow and Brompton is a Stage Precision certified integration partner.
• ArKaos / Hecoos: ArKaos (and its Hecoos media mapping product) provides media server and projection mapping software used in live events, clubs, and installations. It overlaps with SP Grid's media playback and mapping capabilities and is integrated into Stage Precision as a connected device.
• ISAAC (ISAAC Platform): ISAAC provides single-pane-of-glass control and monitoring for complex AV systems in fixed installations. It overlaps with SP Grid's venue and installation management use case and is integrated into SP Grid as a third-party control/observability layer.
