ArKaos VJ is the dazzling fast software that will enable you to put out outstanding video shows in matter of seconds. Build a full performance using a few simple video loops from your hard drive by mixing and altering them using more than 100 real-time effects.

So easy, yet so advanced

ArKaos VJ can be learned in minutes, with drag & drop and key-punch functionality at all levels. It is equally at home on Macs and PCs and supports full MIDI suites, both on-screen and off, as well as such music authoring applications as Cubase™, E-Magic®, ReWire®. A version compatible with the DMX protocol is also available.

Advanced control on the movie playback is easily accessible through the Visual Info dialog box, enabling you to make a frame accurate selection of the part you want to play inside a video sequence as well as how you want to play it (forward / backward / loop, ...).

HW Mode: Get the best out of your graphic card

Since version 3.6 we've added Shader effects to the HW Mode, it's a set of 43 new fully configurable effects which benefit from the Hardware Accelerated video engine and its unprecedented visual smoothness and image quality.

Tons of effects, so many parameters

Each of the effects in ArKaos VJ has changeable parameters, allowing infinite customization of each one. On top its 60+ Standard effects or 40+ Hardware Accelerated effects, ArKaos VJ also supports additional FreeFrame effects (an open cross-platform real-time video effects plug in standard) and comes shipped with 42 pre-loaded FreeFrame effects, you can get many more on the web..

The Mac version of ArKaos VJ is Universal Binary, with native Mac Intel support, Mac OSX "Tiger" users have also access to the 73 effects from Apple's Core Image library when using the software in HW Mode!

Mixing really means.. mixing

Connect all your favorite video sources (USB / FireWire (web)cams, pre-recorded movie loops, video acquisition boards, ..) and display them live through ArKaos VJ with or without an effect. Use customizable Flash animations with editable text to display on-screen messages in just a few clicks. Combine effects and all these visual sources together with advanced transfer modes such as masks (Luma keying, Chroma keying,..) and copy modes (Addition, Substraction) to produce an infinite number of different display effects.

Widescreen:

Now showing: Your best performance

The double monitoring management lets you project your mix full screen for your audience while keeping an eye on the software interface and the preview window.

ArKaos VJ lets you define a custom output resolution that will allow you with most graphic cards and on both Mac and PC to output your visuals on multiple screens (i.e. different visuals on separate screens) or on a wide screen (i.e. a large visual on several screens next to the other) with a Soft-Edge option for seamless blending between the screens.

When you’re done, export your visual remix in 32bit colors high quality to a movie file in resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 px or record your live performance directly to DV through FireWire!

ArKaos VJ for Mac comes as Universal Binary, the PC version is fully compatible with Windows XP. We provide volume licensing for 6 or 15 computers.
