LZX Industries designs and manufactures electronic instruments for real-time video synthesis. The work began as a DIY project in 2008; the company was founded in 2010 in Denton, Texas by Lars Larsen, Jonah Lange, and Ed Leckie, and relocated to Portland, Oregon in 2015. LZX has shipped more than 80 products across eight product lines — from the foundational Visionary Series Eurorack modules to the current flagship, Videomancer. For mission and a chronological view of major modular families, see About LZX.
Videomancer is an FPGA-based standalone video synthesizer offering ultra-low-latency processing, analog and HDMI I/O, MIDI and control voltage integration, and an open-source development SDK. It is designed for visual artists, live performers, and experimenters who want dedicated hardware for creating and manipulating video in real time.
LZX's design philosophy combines broadcast-grade signal processing with an approachable, joyful aesthetic inspired by educational television, public access broadcasting, and classic analog video art. Video synthesis is for everyone.
