The SD3D Media Generator is a software package designed to allow generation and manipulation of video effects in a real-time environment. It can be used in several areas of application where realtime generation of video effects is required which does not typically lend itself to traditional linear-based methods.
SD3D Media Generator is a multimedia server that creates stunning imagery inside a virtual 3D environment. Unlike more traditional media servers which excel at queuing pre-made video clips, SD3D's unique power lye's in its ability to create content on the fly in real time. This puts the creative power back in the hands of the lighting designer or digital visualist where it belongs. With SD3D you have the most advanced digital paintbrush available that responds instantly to your control. Unlike other traditional VJ software or media software packages, SD3D exposes every parameter via a DMX channel so users can take advantage of the DMX programming capabilities of their lighting desk to integrate all video content into the show sequence and react spontaneous on any changes.
