Good people.
Good shows. ♡

Deckboy is built in the open at Utopian Academy. Whether you run LED walls, call cues in a theatre, build new tools, or just want to get a clip on a screen: pull up a chair.

A note from the booth

Deckboy is free software maintained by a small project, not a staffed live-show helpdesk. Community questions cannot be guaranteed a same-day reply. Test with your actual signal chain and keep a known-good fallback for critical shows.
