![]() ![]() You’ve seen this kind of mapping convenience in software before, of course. The popular MadMapper tool, for one, offers similar features for taking live visual output and mapping it to three-dimensional surfaces. MadMapper works with any Syphon-compatible Mac application, too, whereas – for now, at least – ArKaos is only talking integration with their software.īut just as MadMapper’s approach has some advantages, ArKaos is bringing something new to the table. For one, Windows users aren’t left in the dark. ArKaos tells CDM that they’re using DirectX 9 extensions for high-performance routing between applications on non-fruit-related platforms. (Syphon is Mac-only, and uses OpenGL.)ĪrKaos is also promising that by the end of the year, this functionality will be integrated directly with their software – not requiring, as MadMapper does, running a separate app. I also like ArKaos’ approach to output and masking: it’s a whole lot easier to see which surface is which and on which output, so multiple projectors (or LED walls) become convenient. ![]() Once integrated in something like GrandVJ, that could be even better.ĭesigned for people on the run who need to setup mapping projects in very short times, the application can deform and project individual layers on the shapes of a mapped stage, allowing to easily make visuals flow around complex shapes in just a few clicks. MediaMaster 3.0 users needs the Pro license to have access to the Video Mapper We release the mapper running with MediaMaster, the Video Mapper is V1.0 and MediaMaster is V 3.0 beta These are planned dates, not set-in-stone ship dates, but it gives you a good idea of what to expect: Right now, this is all an extension to MediaMaster, but if you can’t afford that high-end media server solution, it’s coming to GrandVJ, too.ĪrKaos gives CDM the scoop on their planned timetable and release schedule. GrandVJ will cost 649 euros with Video Mapper (Pro), the upgrade for the mapper will cost 349 euros We release the Video Mapper running with GrandVJ 2.0 beta ARKAOS GRANDVJ V1.0 PRO There is also an option to prevent the display of mouse-over tool tips on the interface which makes life easier for those controlling GrandVJ from a touch screen.ĪrKaos GrandVJ 1.6.5 is yet one more free update for all existing GrandVJ users.We release MediaMaster 3.0 final that can load mapping files and does not need the Video Mapper once the mapping is created. Other new features and improvements in GrandVJ 1.6.5 are the “Play Once and Freeze” forward and backward mode and Mixer Pause mode selection giving a choice of ‘cut’ or ‘freeze.’ A new playback widget in the visual parameter panel gives a new mapping target that enables control of the movie playback position using a Midi or OSC controller. Users can benefit from this special offer simply by entering their NuVJ software serial number on the ArKaos web site, on the upgrade page at GrandVJ’s new Scratch Control support now makes it compatible with the NuVJ Video Controller from Numark, which was a much requested feature from NuVJ users.Ĭalling all NuVJ Users For the next six months (until July 31, 2012), ArKaos will offer a GrandVJ license at reduced price to all NuVJ users, giving them access to GrandVJ’s eight video layers, numerous effects, visual generators and all the other advanced features from their professional VJing software. GrandVJ 1.6.5 also adds mapping templates for the Livid OhmRGB, with feedback support and coloured keys, and for the Elation Midicon with feedback support. It has also updated the mapping templates for the Hercules DJ Control series to take advantage of this new Scratch Control feature. Updated Mapping Templates ArKaos has added templates with feedback support for the new American Audio VMS4.1 and VMS2 MIDI controllers in a move designed to give a DJ-style feeling while mixing video with these controllers. Two new slider widgets control the sensitivity of the scratch and the scratch itself.
