Once you're ready, go live and take control of your show using only a few channels on your lighting desk, notes on a MIDI controller or just your computer keyboard.
MediaMaster Express' simple interface lets you apply the latest dynamic effects to your videos and easily program a whole show with visual presets and transitions.

.
MediaMaster's efficient media library management can store up to 60,000 visuals in more than 200 folders and lets you delete and move files at your convenience without having to re-stack a programmed show.
Mix visuals and effects on up to 8 layers, compose them together with transparency and masking modes - or send each layer to a different output to create a large scale projection.
From a small DMX fader control to a full size lighting desk, with a MIDI controller or just your computer's keyboard, MediaMaster's flexible interface will let you setup the software the way it best fits your controller.
From there, you can simply play / stop your videos or take control of every parameters.
MediaMaster includes the intuitive LED Mapper extension, ArKaos' flexible software solution to drive LED panels.
The Mapping Editor lets you pick devices from an extensive library and place them interactively on the screen. While editing the mapping configuration, you can view the result of your configuration in real time as it is sent over ArtNet to your LCD panels (supports still pictures only).
Once happy with your mapping, you can save it to a file and import it into MediaMaster which will broadcast its output according to your specific configuration.
Even better, LED fixtures compatible with ArKaos' Kling-Net protocol will connect and configure themselves automatically. No more complicated setup process, forget about the IP addresses.
Arkaos offers various versions so you can choose which version suits you best. Mediamaster Express, Mediamaster Pro and Grand VJ are available as license or as a boxed license. With the license you only get an activation code via e-mail. With the boxed license you get, neatly packed, the activation code, a complete printed manual, a USB stick with software plus documentation ánd extra visual content. A separate Backup license (as activation code) for Mediamaster Express or Mediamaster Pro is also available but this can only be purchased if a Mediamaster license is already owned and it is limited to one Backup license for each Mediamaster license
