Vari-Lite’s Neo X5 CRE is the screenless sibling to the Neo X5, built for control rooms, studios, and mid-size performance spaces where a full console footprint isn’t practical. Same software platform, smaller box.

Vari-Lite and Signify have announced the Neo X5 CRE – a compact lighting console designed specifically for space-constrained environments such as control rooms, studios, and medium-sized performance spaces.

The X5 CRE delivers the same advanced features and customizable software platform as the Neo X5 Console, but in a smaller, screenless form factor. Key features include:

• Runs the full Vari-Lite Neo software platform — effects engine, pixel mapping, media playback, and timelines
• Five multifunctional motorised playbacks with backlit keys
• 50,000+ channels out of the box
• Soft touch control screen onboard
• Supports up to two external touchscreen monitors
• Screenless form factor — no built-in display panel

“Operators love the Neo X Series consoles, but the size isn’t always ideal for smaller areas like control rooms, where space is limited,” said Martin Palmer, Vari-Lite marketing and product management leader at Signify. “With the X5 CRE, we’re delivering the same powerful features in a compact, screen-free design that’s perfect for these environments.”
