MediaMaster Express is "a simple, cost effective version" of ArKaos' professional tool for creative projection and LED use within video design. It has been created especially for small theatres, clubs, shops, bar installations and freelance light designers. Anyone with a limited budget can now enjoy the results of a powerful media server at an affordable price, the company says.
ArKaos has designed MediaMaster Express to help users to set up a show and incorporate video quickly, easily and cost-effectively. MediaMaster Express uses a similar method to that which made the ArKaos VJ DMX Simple Mode so popular. Just drag and drop visuals on the interface - no video recompression is needed - then assign them to DMX or MIDI triggers.
Control is via a computer keyboard - like all ArKaos products, Media Master Express is compatible with both MAC and PC - a simple DMX lighting desk or any MIDI controller compatible with your system.
ArKaos CEO Marco Hinic says: "Based on years of expertise we wanted to build the Swiss Knife of media server software. Reading almost any video file, being used from most types of controllers and displaying on video screens and LEDs. We wanted the solution to be always there, simple and fast to use like a Swiss Knife."
Dedicated to distributors and customers across the Europe, US and Asia, a series of training sessions and demonstrations of MediaMaster Express started 14 June. Details of the futures dates will be announced on the ArKaos web site.
