MediaMaster Pro Theater Mode

The theater mode interface of MediaMaster marks a new phase in software development allowing you to make 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.

MediaMasters' Theater Mode interface allows you to prepare your visual show in the software itself and then simply take control of your visual presets using a few channels on your lighting desk or notes on a MIDI controller.

MediaMaster Pro Fixture Mode

On top of the Theater Mode, MediaMaster Pro adds a fixture-based operation mode and support for MSEX allowing thumbnails preview and live output to the console screens.

The fixture profiles allows total control of every MediaMaster parameter straight from the DMX console and turns any powerful computer into a traditional Media Server for professional lighting consoles such as ChamSys, Avolites, LSC, ETC, GrandMA, Martin, Compulite, etc..

MediaMaster Pro MediaHub

The MediaHub is a new extension designed to run with MediaMaster Express or MediaMaster Pro. Users can remotely control the content of the MediaMaster Library. It’s designed to run on the network so a light designer in the front of the house can upload, update and delete content on the server located backstage. It’s also ideally designed for rental companies that need to copy, backup and restore libraries when preparing servers for new customers.

The MediaHub can also be used to monitor the performance of a server during a live show to ensure a smooth experience. The final product is an intuitive and powerful interface thanks to the dedication and attention to detail from our developers.

MediaMaster Pro Video Mapper Extension

MediaMaster Pro ships with the new Video Mapper Extension which allows easy mapping of video onto irregularly shaped surfaces and through multiple outputs.

Designed to let you setup mapping projects in very short times, it makes it incredibly simple to flow visuals around complex objects with just a few clicks.

MediaMaster currently includes the intuitive LED Mapper Extension, the flexible software solution from ArKaos to drive LED panels.
