What is ProVideoPlayer?

Designed to enhance live staging events such as concerts, trade show booths, conferences, or church services, ProVideoPlayer manages an unlimited amount of clips in an unlimited number of playlists and gives a tremendous amount of control to the playback of these video clips including Hue, Brightness, Saturation, Start/Stop times, and speed, either on a global or per-clip basis. Whether for a special occasion or as a fixed installation, PVP can enhance your productions with video in a manner that will have your audience talking.

ProVideoPlayer (PVP) allows you to import your entire video clip library into a simple interface and mix them in real time to create impactful video stage presentations. With an easy to use intuitive interface, you can build multiple play lists to prepare for any event. From within PVP, you can modify visual, speed, and playback parameters of your videos without effecting the original files. You can set clips to transition automatically, loop, or even manually cross-fade one video to another with our virtual T-bar.

The software is uncluttered and simple to use and manage. It runs exclusively on Mac OS X and is a Universal binary, meaning it will run optimally on Macs built with the new Intel processors or PowerPC processors.

ProVideoPlayer is also multi-resolution, meaning you can run both standard definition video as well as high-definition video (with the HD version of the software) as they did at Catalyst 2005 and the Chris Tomlin Indescribable tour.

Multi-Screen Presentations

ProVideoPlayer offers the unique ability to synchronize video playback across multiple machines. By putting multiple PVP machines on your network, one Master PVP machine can control multiple Slave machines. Plugging each computer into its own projector creates a dynamic staging experience that is hard to match... we're talking video backdrops behind your performers that span the entire stage!

Gulfstream Aerospace used this functionality to create a seven-screen multi-visual experience in their trade-show booth utilizing a PowerMac G4 and seven Mac minis.

Grid Mapping and Tiling

ProVideoPlayer also offers two unique features that allow for more creative and flexible implementations of PVP - Grid Mapping and Tiling.

In Grid Mapping, the entire video is played, but only the designated portion is sent to the display. This setting is configured on-the-fly in the "Screen" preferences panel. Grid Mapping is useful in multi-screen situations because you can load the same video on each machine. Then configure each system to play only their respective segment. This prevents having to cut up every clip appropriately in post production which saves a great deal of time.

In Tiling, the entire video is played, but tiled across the display in accordance with its respective grid setting. This setting is also configured on-the-fly in the "Screen" preferences panel. Tiling can also be set on a per clip basis.

Who should use ProVideoPlayer?

Any organization or event that seeks to enhance their environment through the use of video. It has or is being used by North Point Community Church, BigStuf Productions, Passion Conferences, Catalyst Conferences, Drive and GrowUp Conferences, GulfStream Aerostream (jets), and the Chris Tomlin Indescribable tour to name just a few... and that was before the Public Release Version! This powerful software works in tandem with your lighting and traditional video projection systems to enhance your worship environment.
