ArKaos VJ DMX
Control ArKaos VJ and all your
other DMX compatible equipment
ArKaos VJ DMX can be controlled with small or hi-end DMX consoles and allows a smooth integration of videos into light shows, theater and performances. it will enable you set up outstanding video shows in a matter of seconds. Build a full performance using only a few simple video loops from your hard drive, mixing and altering them using more than 100 real-time effects.
The easiest way to add visuals to your lighting setup
Video projection has now become an integrated feature in most venues such as night clubs, bars and event halls; many tours and concerts now also includes a visual show. But everyone can not afford an extensive Media Server and a full-time Video Jockey!
Controlling a computer with ArKaos from a lighting console is now possible with ArKaos VJ DMX; it offers the ease of a simple and inexpensive setup to control both your projection screens and your light show from the same machine just by triggering ArKaos media’s and effects from your lighting console's buttons and sliders; thanks to the Fixture control modes, ArKaos now acts as a traditional Media Server for professional consoles such as ETC, GrandMA, Martin, Compulite etc.
It is now possible to have a total control over ArKaos from the DMX controller: every parameter -that previously has to be configured with the mouse- is available directly through the DMX protocol.
The DMX support in ArKaos also greatly broadens your possibilities; for example, imagine you can now run three different visual shows on three projectors through a single DMX control machine driving three different computers running ArKaos VJ DMX!
Software vs. Hardware Media Server
ArKaos VJ is a really accessible software and it does not require avanced skills to achieve results. On the other hand, the software is so powerful that once you get to know it better, you’ll discover the possibilities are virtually endless!
All common movie formats are accepted and the graphic engine is optimized to give great results on both Mac and PC. With a recent low cost computer you can playback at least two full PAL resolution movies (at least DVD quality) at the same time, with Chroma-keying on the top one and with real-time control over the movie blending. There’s no latency and no rendering delay, it is optimized to react immediately when you trigger a new layer or when you change any parameters.
