Why Compact Previews?

Pixel Bright is our largest layout, and it's built to grow with you. Most customers start with a subset of props and add more each season. Compact Previews are pre-built, modified versions of the full Pixel Bright layout, sized to fit a range of common prop collections, with networks pre-configured for a 1, 2, or 4 network show.

If you're new to Pixel Bright, Compact Previews are the fastest path to your first show. We've done the network math for you: each preview has props pre-assigned to networks within recommended capacity limits. Find the one that best matches the props you want to include, download it, and prep your show.

Compact Previews take care of the initial setup work so you can get your show ready faster. But as your display grows, building your own custom preview is the best way to make your layout truly reflect your actual setup. Learn more about building your own preview →
