Resolume Arena Control Software
Advanced handler for Resolume Arena using REST API + WebSocket real-time feedback.
Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect Resolume Arena to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the Resolume Arena WS handler from the device type list (internal id
resolume_arena_ws). - Enter the IP address of your Resolume Arena, then set protocol HTTP/WebSocket and port
8080. - Save and connect. Fantago starts polling the device and publishes its feedback variables, ready to use in panels, sequences and logic flows.
- Drag the actions below onto a panel button, a Stream Deck key, a schedule or a logic flow node.

Resolume Arena control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Resolume Arena?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Resolume Arena WS handler (version 1.0.0) that talks to the device over HTTP/WebSocket, default port 8080. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Resolume Arena handler use?
HTTP/WebSocket, default port 8080. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Resolume Arena from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Resolume Arena action can be mapped to an Elgato Stream Deck key, to a button on a custom Fantago touch panel, to a timed schedule, or to a logic flow triggered by another device — including devices from a different manufacturer.
Can I modify the Resolume Arena handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (resolume_arena_ws.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
Control Resolume Arena from a single interface
Fantago drives Resolume Arena alongside 50+ other broadcast, lighting, audio and smart home devices — from custom touch panels, an Elgato Stream Deck, a schedule or a logic flow. One-time licence, no subscription, runs offline.
