PyroNext builds the Connect Module, IQ Slats, and Studio App — a complete field layer that gives your existing firing system smarter routing, better continuity insight, and real-time field visibility. Without replacing the controller you already trust.
In plain English: PyroNext lets you keep your existing firing controller while adding smarter routing, better continuity visibility, and safer field setup — between your controller and your igniters.
Keep your controller
Works downstream of COBRA, Ignite, and other systems crews already own. No replacement required.
See problems before arming
Per-igniter continuity visibility and real-time field status — before showtime, not during.
Reduce field chaos
Cleaner wiring, smarter routing, and better rack-level information on every job.
The complete field layer
Connect 12, EM2 Bridge, and IQ Slats working together on a real firing line — the complete PyroNext field layer, deployed.
Inside Connect 12
A single 7" display shows live output status for every port, adapting to whatever mix of IQ Slats you have connected. Before you arm, you know exactly where you stand.
EM2 Bridge — chainable legacy controller compatibility, field-deployed.
IQ Slat 9 — 108 outputs, E-Ink display, IP65.
Dig deeper into each component of the PyroNext system.
Plan in Studio. Fire through your existing controller. Bridge reads the signal. Route through Connect. Verify at the IQ Slats.
See exactly which connection needs attention before you arm — not just which cue has a problem.
Hardware safety that doesn't depend on software working correctly. The most critical protections are hardwired.
Works with COBRA, Ignite, and other systems via field cable adapters. No new controller required.
Dust-tight and water jet protected. Built for the firing line, not the equipment room.
Live continuity, slat health, and PSU status across your entire setup. Know your system's state before you arm.
Every show generates a complete firing record — confirmations, faults, PSU readings. Exportable for compliance and insurance.
