On what device will Cerise work ?
Cerise works with any app or console that sends Art-Net or sACN. We've tested and validated:
- iPad with USB-C, with Blackout, Luminair, Sidus Link Pro and Godox KNOWLED. Lightning iPads need a separate, externally powered adapter and may be unreliable.
- Windows 10 and 11, Mac (Intel or Apple silicon) and Linux, over USB-C with no drivers.
- Lighting consoles over Ethernet on the Pro models: grandMA, ETC, Hog and Onyx.
- grandMA onPC and PC-based consoles over USB, when they accept a USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
It doesn't work on Samsung smartphones.
If connectivity is unreliable on iPads running iOS / iPadOS 26 or later, update Cerise to firmware 1.8.11. A typical symptom is Cerise appearing in Settings > Ethernet while the IP address and subnet mask fields are empty; Cerise does not respond and its WebUI cannot be reached. Use the computer-based USB update procedure linked above, then reconnect Cerise.
Firmware 1.8.11 improves reliability and sets the default USB IP address to 172.30.0.1 on all Cerise units. We recommend that all users update to 1.8.11 and use this default. The old workaround of changing the first two parts of the IP address is no longer needed.
