Take your existing system to the next level. PyroNext turns a single controller cue into a fully routed, multi-position show — sequenced deep at one rack, or fired together across many. Your existing controller stays in charge.
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 a wide range of existing firing 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 routing story
A single cue from your existing controller can drive one igniter — or it can drive dozens, sequenced or synchronized, depending on the IQ Slat variant you choose at each position.
Deep sequencing at one position
Use IQ Slat 9 for fewer, larger banks — ideal when one cue should fire a long sequence of igniters at a single rack.
Synchronized across many positions
Use IQ Slat 36 for many small banks — ideal when one cue should fire simultaneously at several positions, like left-center-right.
The complete field layer
Concept render — Connect 12, EM2 Bridge, and IQ Slats working together on the firing line, the complete PyroNext field layer, illustrated.
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 a wide range of existing firing 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.
