ChamSys MediaMaster Pro Software License Features

Control from a lighting desk:

Create or customize your own fixture definitions to control MediaMaster parameters from your lighting desk, while minimizing the channel overhead. Streamline this integration with GDTF to send your MediaMaster fixtures to your desk, and CITP to send media previews

Powerful Workspaces:
- Workspaces contain assets that can span projects - Media files, Video and led maps, DMX fixture definitions
- MediaMaster 25 workspace can contain many or few projects
- Assets used by several projects are not duplicated
- Convenient export for project deployment to an event

MediaMaster Pro Video Mapper:

The MediaMaster Pro video mapper allows easy mapping of video content onto irregularly shaped surfaces and through multiple outputs. Up to 250 surfaces and 16 outputs are supported. Designed for fast creation of mapping projects, flowing visuals around complex objects can be achieved with just a few clicks

Philosophy behind all MediaMaster' control solutions focus on making video surfaces, screens, etc. work just like moving lights. The goal is to empower lighting designers, programmers and operators and help make the integration of video and pixel light sources seamless with lighting in their visual designs via DMX control and without needing to utilize a separate video controller.

MediaMaster Pro can be controlled locally or remotely using a lighting desk. Fixture definitions can be customized to minimise channel usage, and mapped only as needed. Every MediaMaster parameter can be made available to the desk, or preset within MediaMaster using Presets which can be controlled more simply. Control methods can be mixed within a project for the ultimate in flexibility.

MediaMaster Pro supports standard and high definition video sources and can output to HDR10 and HLG hardware. It also includes a custom HDR mode for LED screens compatible with Novastar and Brompton LED processors.

MediaMaster Pro runs the streamlined proprietary MediaMaster SAGA codec with 10-bit definition per color and an Alpha Channel. Other advantages of SAGA include lower disk usage than with a standard HAP codec, also boosting the speed, the ability to play clips backwards and accelerated CPU and GPU rendering. There is no chroma re-sampling, and the resolution size is unlimited.

MediaMaster Pro offers intuitive mapping of LED fixtures, including Kling-Net fixtures which feature fully automatic network discovery and configuration. Devices such as pixel battens, LED tape and pixel canvases are supported. The mapper allows devices to be selected and placed interactively with results shown on the hardware in real time. For hybrid devices that combine pixels with conventional channels, such as a moving pixel head, MediaMaster can map the conventional channels from a lighting desk and insert the pixel data for seamless control.

MediaMaster Pro also has multiple NDI5 inputs/outputs with alpha, as well as being fully integrated in the extensive NDI5 product ecosystem, cementing it as a versatile live performance software. NDI5 (or Network Device Interface) is a free protocol to send Video over IP. It is designed to allow the distribution of live professional video content over an existing IP infrastructure, freeing users from current hardware constraints. This means that NDI5 doesn't just cut back on cost, but also drastically reduces deployment time. This software uses the NDI library. NDI is a trademark of NewTek, Inc
