MediaMaster 1.2 is the latest update to ArKaos' professional tool for creative projection and LED use within video design. It was created specifically with the show and lighting market in mind, as a cost-effective software solution for all video performances and installations with multi-media requirements.
This new version of MediaMaster makes use of ArKaos' latest generation of real time video technology to deliver improved performance on any MAC or PC on which it is installed, including standard laptops. MediaMaster 1.2 is capable of playing up to eight simultaneous layers of HD video, without dropping frames, when running on an octo-core server.
A major addition to this new release is the ability to both mix the audio track from movies and to control the global audio volume via DMX. As a result, a DMX control desk can now act as an audio mixer.
Also new is MediaMaster 1.2's support of Quartz Composer. This Mac-only technology allows both the creation of GPU accelerated movies and highly customized effects and music visualizers. The addition of this feature now makes it very easy to create animations that read information from web pages and present it in an attractive way.
Arkaos will be present at Prolight & Sound in Frankfurt where it will be putting the new MediaMaster 1.2 through its paces.
ArKaos CEO, Marco Hinic, says, "We are pleased to have many active users around the world using MediaMaster installations. We believe our popularity comes from our willingness to provide our customers with the high quality product they need, backed up with the solid technical support we are happy to give them."
