Built for our own venue first

Our story

1. KRD

   Three friends start KRD, an event production and integration company in Toulouse, while still at high school.

2. 2017

   The idea of Interference: a venue of our own, for concerts and events.

3. Kinora

   To light it, we build our own system rather than buy one that never quite fits. Kinora is founded to make it, and supplies nodes to KRD.

4. 2025

   Interference opens. The hall, the bar, the dressing rooms, the rooftop and Aura, the concert room, all run on our nodes.

5. Today

   The pxnode 4 and the px4i, made for our own shows and our own venue, are available to everyone.

Our test bench is a concert venue

Every light at Interference runs on Kinora hardware and software: the architectural lighting of Aura, the corridors, the bar, the rooftop and the screens. What works there night after night goes into the products.

• The guest desk takes over

  A visiting lighting designer runs the room's architectural fixtures over Art-Net, from their own desk: one setting on the house control.

• It is the safety lighting too

  The architectural fixtures light the way out as well: two 48 V inputs, one on an inverter run by the fire safety system. On an evacuation, a relay cuts their DMX and they come back on at full warm white.

• Pixels far from the node

  Pixel data runs over RS485 to small extenders by the LEDs, up to 150 m away.
