ArKaos PRO will take a very active part in LDI 2014 from 17 to 23 November at the Las Vegas Exhibition Center where its software and hardware will be shown on the booth of its exclusive US distributor, A.C. Lighting. ArKaos PRO will also present four half-day training courses on the use of its MediaMaster software as part of the LDInstitute professional training programme.
LDI 2014 will mark the first US showing of ArKaos’ new MediaMaster 4.1, the latest, ever-more powerful version of ArKaos PRO’s media server software. MediaMaster 4.1 delivers a plethora of new features including new aspect ratio and cropping tools, new hue, saturation and lightness tools, layer-based volume control and a redesigned interface.
MediaMaster 4.1 brings more flexible protection via an optional dongle yet, despite its many additional features, retains the simplicity of operation familiar to its users. It is also not restricted to use on only one machine. A completely redesigned licensing system allows the user to register and deregister any machine remotely from their own account.
Also making its LDI 2014 debut is LEDMaster, the new all-in-one solution that delivers LEDshow control in three easy steps – map, program and playback.
Designed to work in conjunction with ArKaos PRO’s Kling-Net protocol, LEDMaster automatically recognises and configures any Kling-Net LED device to make it ready for mapping. Through Kling-Net, the device’s resolution and pixel format is sent to the LEDMaster which is then able to read and change parameters.
Scenes can be created by importing visuals from the user’s own library, or with the new innovative Live Pattern Generator. This new function creates hard-edged visuals based on video frames mapped by the user onto the LEDMaster’s display.
LEDMaster brings sophisticated LED control within reach of everybody and is especially suited for retail and window display, clubs and small to medium sized theatres.
