If you need more information about Hardware Acceleration in ArKaos software please have a look at the PDF documentation that can be found in your software installation folder. Moreover, all the treatments are done in full resolution, making the pixelization disappear, even with low resolution videos. Using hardware texture filtering in GrandVJ produces images with extraordinary high quality. Pixel Shaders allow advanced image processing in a minimum development time thanks to the per pixel treatment, whereas vertex-shaders allow advanced light effects and volumes deformation thanks to the per vertex treatment.
Therefore, the per pixel/vertex processing totally changes the way of working on the image. The ArKaos engine reduces this bandwidth to a minimum to achieve the best possible frame rate.Įvery image-processing is done using texture as source data: it can easily be mixed with other textures, then being scaled, stretched and deformed using geometry meshes. There will no longer be a need to build special personalities for these video elements giving MediaMaster an even more flexibility as a visual control. This minor release fixes a set of performance.
Please encourage your network of users to update to get a better experience and better performances. The new version MediaMaster 5.4.1 is now available and is a recommended update for everyone and particularly for Windows 7 users. Hardware acceleration, the tech talkīy using the hardware GPU pipeline processing rather than a standard CPU processing, the approach to image processing becomes radically different: every image or video is equivalent to a texture in the video memory updating several videos together consumes a high amount of AGP/PCI-X bus data bandwidth. Arkaos Grand VJ and Media Master Tutorials. 203) to discover more about MediaMaster 6 and check out their fantastic. *The GPU is the processor from your graphic card, as opposition to the CPU - Computer Processor Unit -, which is your computer’s main processor. ArKaos develops VJ Software, Media Server and LED mapping Software used at shows. All image processing is done through the GPU*: the CPU* has more time for other heavy processing such as video decompression this result in a much better frame rate and visual smoothness.Īll video treatment is accomplished in full resolution and benefits from a hardware texture filtering which makes the pixel artifacts disappear, even with low-resolution videos the image quality is greatly improved.
