Overview

Professional application designed to turn your Mac into a powerful media server, in order to run live video shows in sync with lighting and music
ArKaos MediaMaster is a powerful application that aims to provide an intuitive solution for professionals who wish to control video media, animations, lighting and picture input.
As a media server tool, it enables users to play and manipulate clips, images, live feeds and Flash text animations in real-time, as well as generate visual effects.
ArKaos MediaMaster offers two distinct interface modes, each suitable for different tasks: the Theater mode and the Fixture mode.
Fixture and Theader modes for easier configuration
The Theater mode facilitates show preparation and control of visual presets via DMX, MIDI or a standard computer keyboard. You can make use of dynamic visual effects, together with a library management system.
The Fixture mode is more complex and versatile, providing direct control over all parameters and attributes via DMX. It offers support for MSEX and allows thumbnails previews, as well as real-time output to console screens.
DMX and ArtNet support, as well as a built-in surface video mapping engine
It is also worth noting that the application comes in two editions: ArKaos MediaMaster Express and ArKaos MediaMaster Pro. The Express version is limited to the theater mode mentioned above and only eight layers of video, while the Pro edition supports twelve layers and both operating modes.
Both versions include soft-edge and pixel-mapping control via DMX and ArtNet, while only the Pro edition offers a Geometric Correction module and the Video Mapping extension designed to help with mapping video onto various irregular surfaces.
Comprehensive media server for real-time and programmed light-synced multimedia shows
The two versions also come equipped with the LED Mapper extension, which is useful for driving LED panels. The mapping configuration can be viewed in real-time as it is transferred over ArtNet to your devices.
All things considered, ArKaos MediaMaster is a comprehensive solution aimed professionals who are looking for a tool to help them create and manage high-definition video shows, combining media, lights and visual effects.
