Photon
is a powerful media server
for live events, shows, multimedia presentations, immersive experiences and permanent installations with extraordinary video requirements and real-time control needs.
VYV Photon media server allows for uncompressed video playback at tremendous resolutions, displaying video using multiple projectors with handling 3D warping and edge-blending for a seamless result. The timeline based interface makes it simple to use and all parameters can be slaved to external controls (UDP, Art-Net, MIDI, SMPTE Time-Code). Each server has multiple DVI outputs, which makes the solution very cost effective.
