UK - White Light, exclusive UK distributor for the ArKaos range of media servers, will host the UK launch of the new MediaMaster Express at PLASA 2010 in the White Light Zone. An intuitive and powerful media server software, MediaMaster Express is described as the 'perfect solution for quick media management and playback from a DMX or MIDI controller'.

Aimed at the concert/touring, film/TV, leisure/attractions, night venues, theatre/performing arts and architectural markets, MediaMaster Express allows anyone anywhere to exploit the possibilities of a powerful media server, combining ease of use and high performance for an affordable price, making it the perfect solution for quick media management and playback from a DMX or MIDI controller.

Built on ArKaos' latest generation of technology, MediaMaster's multi-threaded engine delivers "blistering performance", by taking advantage of multi-core machines. It comes with improved frame blending support allowing smooth video playback even at slow speeds and software genlock making it possible to play several HD movies at up to 60 fps without dropping a single frame.

The Simple Mode interface of MediaMaster marks a new phase in software development allowing use of the latest dynamic visual effects, combined with an efficient and intuitive library management system and with simple front end control via DMX, MIDI or even a computer keyboard.

All popular video file formats are supported, and with MediaMaster's very efficient media management system, you can store up to 60,000 visuals in more than 200 folders, delete and move files at your convenience without having to re-stack a programmed show, as well as playing and mixing the audio track from your movies. This feature, which comes with global audio volume control through DMX, turns any lighting desk into a professional A/V mixer.
