Resolume Arena Control Software
Controls Resolume Arena through its REST API, with live feedback over WebSocket. Composition master, crossfader, volumes, tempo and layer opacity can be driven from panel faders, rotaries and Stream Deck + dials.
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 1.1.0) 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.
