Designed for live concerts and productions, theatre, clubs and houses of worship, Zeus is designed for quick and easy setup, and is especially suited for applications that call for precise, real-time visual displays. It features Arkaos MediaMaster Pro 3.0 software, including Arkaos' patented Kling-Net protocol, which automatically configures and distributes real-time video data to remote display devices by pixel. With Kling-Net, it's possible to achieve a perfect time synchronization of many types of display devices, ensuring that your visuals will synchronize across many product types.
By using Kling-Net protocol, the Zeus Media Server does away with the expensive hardware converters previously required to send video data, making it an extremely economical solution as well. "The Zeus is Elation's first full-scale media server," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "We developed this powerful server in response to our customers' demand for an easier and more affordable solution to creating and displaying video content, especially in live production environments where you are mixing many types of displays including traditional DMX Pixel control fixtures. With Zeus's Kling-Net protocol, it's easy and cost-efficient to provide the real-time synchronized video data distribution that live shows require."
Zeus is capable of both Art-Net and Kling-Net LED video mapping, with the ability to output both protocols simultaneously. It includes video surface mapping for projectors, soft edge blending, and - as an added bonus - a 4GB built-in library of high-quality video content.
