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.
What is Core Image?
Core Image is a library of optimized video effects introduced by Apple in Mac OS X Tiger, these effects are pre-installed in your system and can be used in various applications. Core Image allows ArKaos VJ's hardware accelerated video engine to leverage the processing power of recent graphic cards for blistering-fast image processing that can eliminate rendering time delays.
How does it works?
If you have a compatible graphic card you will notice a new Core Image wrapper effect icon in the Video effecs tab of ArKaos VJ's Effects window: drag it on a key and double-click it to select from over 90 Core Image effects the one you wish to use on that key, then define the parameters, add a visual next to it and press the key. It couldn't be easier..
Each parameter displayed in the effect dialog box can be either set to a fixed value (using the slider), assigned to a MIDI controller or set to a variable value.
Of course, the Core Image effects can be applied and controlled in real-time over your visuals (images, movies, Flash animations or live camera input), just like any other ArKaos effects.
Compatibility
Core Image has been introduced by Apple in Mac OS X 1.4 Tiger, if you have an earlier version you will not be able to use the Core Image effects.
However, if you have a compatible graphic card you will of course benefit from all the other great features of the HW Mode in ArKaos VJ. Check the system requirements page for more info about system versions and compatible graphic cards.
