This is how I arranged the mapping for this show. Then, I assign both steps of the Chaser plugin to one fader or knob on my MIDI controller. So you can see the blend mode still works like a charm. I put another layer of lines in different mapping, opacity at half and used diffrence as blend mode. In this picture you can see the result of what we did in the preview window.

At the same time, think about how to run the CAT.5 cable through every module- with less cables. Try to find the most efficient combinations of each slice. The goal was to make the best use of every pixel of every HD output. Then, it became like a math exam in high school or a puzzle to solve. I did the mapping by starting with numbers.Ĭounting the pixels, modules, actual width and length. This technique is very useful for the circle screen in this show.Ĭan you give us details about how the LED was mapped? So, after some set up in Advance output and Chaser, during the show, I can just pick the footage I desire, set the screen I want it to show through Chaser (using steps) and boom it’s on!Īnd, I can mix different layers with different mapping without losing blend mode.Īlso, what I see in the preview window can be very close to what I get on the actual screen.Ī second Chaser plugin applied in the EFX chain (sometime I don’t need it, or if in future it supports polygons other than triangles) is to mask out unwanted parts of the layer that shows on the screens I don’t want it to.įor me it’s better than applying crops and adjusting XY position in different layers, because I can just make use of the slices in advance output. One is for switching between different output mappings. Normally, I apply two Chaser FFGL plugins on each layer. Some VJs use Madmapper or mapio to switch mapping. I find it super useful when I use it for switching between different mapping settings and even masking. I can switch between the two without thinking.Īnother great tool that is worth mentioning is Chaser by Joris.

I can have exactly the same experience while VJing, no matter if I’m on a PC or a MAC. Resolume Arena is my first choice for media server. Talk to us about Resolume, maybe you have heard of it? *grins*
It is a Chinese brand which has similar, but less, features than the Datapath X4 that other VJs brought for the show. The 4kTwo display controller provided by Flux studio did a great job.
