1. Catalogue and equipment search
The catalogue contains the equipment we rent out, divided into Lighting, Sound, DJ, Fog Machines, Stands, Projectors, Controllers and Accessories. You can search by name, narrow the results by parameters with Filter and sort by Recommended, Price, Alphabetically, Manufacturer, Power, Weight or DMX channel count. Each card shows the rental price for 1–2 days and a + button to add the product to My list. The English version shows prices in EUR.
2. Product detail
Clicking a card opens the detail with a description, specifications, the number of units in stock and the price. Lights come with links to the manual and to files for lighting consoles (GDTF profile, DMX chart TXT, Avolites Titan and grandMA2 profiles), and for lights with several DMX modes you choose the mode. From the detail you can add the product to your list, start a visualization, show its DMX channels or ask the AI.
Every product also has its own page (for example stagelights.cz/en/product/…) with a price table by rental length, downloads and similar products.
Ready-made setups for weddings, balls and company parties
Not sure where to start? The pages wedding, ball and school prom and company party (currently in Czech only) offer a small, a medium and a larger sample setup made of catalogue items, with the price for 1–2 days. The button Otevřít sestavu v košíku (open the setup in the cart) moves the setup to My list, where you adjust the quantities and dates, or you can send an inquiry straight away with Poptat. A sample setup is not a package with a special price; its price is the sum of the list prices of the items.
3. My list: quantities, dates and price
Open the My list panel with the button in the top right corner. For each item you can change the quantity with the − and + buttons or remove it. Once you enter the Rental period, the app calculates the price for the whole period and the average per day. Your browser remembers the list, so you can come back to it later. From the panel you continue to AI visualization, DMX, Ask AI or the inquiry (Rent).

| each additional day | + 50 % of the base price |

4. Rental inquiry
You send the inquiry directly from Stage Studio, without copying the list or prices anywhere. There are two ways:
- From My list: click Rent. Send yourself opens a pre-filled message to SOH rental (pronajem@soh.cz) in your e-mail program with the items, quantities, dates, prices and a link to your list. Check via AI has the inquiry checked and sent by the AI assistant.
- In the AI chat: below the suggested setup, use the button to send the inquiry. The AI asks for your e-mail and dates, attaches your visualizations and passes the inquiry on to our rental team. A copy is sent to your e-mail.
What happens next? An inquiry is not yet a binding reservation. Our rental staff check it personally, verify that the equipment is available for your dates and get back to you with a confirmation. After you send an inquiry through the AI chat, your daily limit of AI visualizations also increases.
5. AI stage visualization
The AI Visualization button renders the equipment from your list. You choose the scene type (Concert, Festival, Club, Theatre, Corporate, Wedding, Photomontage, Social media and, for images, also Datasheet, Wiring diagram, Equipment and Stage plot), the AI model and the resolution. The prompt is built from the selected products and you can edit it. Images are created by Google Gemini (Nano Banana, or Nano Banana Pro for the highest quality) based on real photos of the equipment from our warehouse, short videos by Veo 3.1 models.
Lighting preview in a photo of your venue
In the AI visualization panel, upload a photo of your venue (JPG or PNG). The AI then places the lights and sound from your list right into your space. A photo taken from where the guests will be, showing the whole dance floor and the walls, works best. Your own photo is supported by the Gemini / Nano Banana models.
The venue photos and previews on this page were created by AI as examples. With your own photo, the preview shows your real venue.
Generation has a daily limit; the panel shows the current status. The result is an AI illustration of your setup, not a technical drawing: take the number and placement of the lights as an idea, we will fine-tune the actual layout with you.
6. AI chat
The AI Chat button opens the SOH AI assistant. Describe your event and venue, for example “wedding for 80 guests in a 15 × 10 m hall with wooden beams”. The assistant suggests equipment from the catalogue and explains what each item is for. If you ask it to add the equipment right away, a box with the added items, the price and buttons to edit the list and send the inquiry appears below the answer. It also answers questions about products, DMX or connections. The bin icon clears the conversation.
7. DMX patch list
The DMX button in the list opens the DMX patch list of the whole setup: the total number of channels, the address range and, for each light, the addresses according to its order in the list and the selected DMX mode (for example CH 1–10 for the first unit and CH 11–20 for the second), including the channel functions. Copy the patch list to the clipboard or export it to TXT or CSV. From here you can also go to the MVR 3D scene export and the 3D Stage Visualizer.
8. MVR 3D scene and 3D Stage Visualizer
The MVR export page builds a 3D scene from your list and saves it as an .mvr file for visualization and lighting software (for example grandMA3, Capture or WYSIWYG). You choose the placement, the stage and structure, the order and DMX, and the target program; a live preview shows the perspective and the plan view. Lights with a GDTF profile are placed in the scene.
Open the finished MVR file in the 3D Stage Visualizer app for Windows. It renders the light show in 3D in real time; you switch the lights on with the mouse or connect them to a console via Art-Net or sACN. The free version can display, edit and save.
The video has no sound and has English captions · Open on YouTube
