MediaMaster Software

MediaMaster 25 is an intuitive, powerful software solution for video control, designed to make programming and running full visual shows fast, flexible, and effortless. With its streamlined SAGA codec, delivering 10-bit colour, alpha channel support, and smooth backward playback with minimal disk usage, MediaMaster ensures uncompromising performance and reliability.

The built-in LED Mapper offers seamless integration of LED fixtures, including automatic Kling-Net discovery, while its modern workflow tools—customisable views, multi-screen previews, and powerful workspaces—give users complete control and efficiency. Supporting flexible DMX connectivity, GDTF fixture export, and real-time interactive mapping, MediaMaster is the go-to choice for broadcast, touring, and live production environments that demand creativity without compromise.

Intuitive And Easy To Use

Designed to be fast and easy, MediaMaster is a unique solution for video control on the market. This intuitive software allows you to program and run full visual shows in just a few clicks, without the need for training or practice!

Once you’re ready, go live and take control of your show using only a few channels on your lighting desk, or just your computer keyboard.

SAGA Codec

MediaMaster runs the streamlined proprietary MediaMaster SAGA codec with 10-bit definition per colour and an Alpha Channel.

Other advantages of SAGA include lower disk usage than with a standard HAP codec, also boosting the speed, the ability to play clips backwards and accelerated CPU and GPU rendering.

There is no chroma re-sampling, and the resolution size is unlimited.

MediaMaster LED Mapper

MediaMaster LED Mapper offers intuitive mapping of LED fixtures, including Kling-Net fixtures which feature fully automatic network discovery and configuration. Devices such as pixel battens, LED tape and pixel canvases are supported.

The mapper allows devices to be selected and placed interactively with results shown on the hardware in real time. For hybrid devices that combine pixels with conventional channels, such as a moving pixel head, MediaMaster can map the conventional channels from a lighting desk and insert the pixel data for seamless control.

MediaMaster Pro Video Mapper

The MediaMaster Pro video mapper allows easy mapping of video content onto irregularly shaped surfaces and through multiple outputs. Up to 200 surfaces and 16 outputs are supported.

Designed for fast creation of mapping projects, flowing visuals around complex objects can be achieved with just a few clicks.

NDI®5

MediaMaster Pro supports multiple NDI®5 inputs/outputs with alpha, as well as being fully integrated in the extensive NDI®5 product ecosystem, cementing it as a versatile live performance software.

NDI®5 (or Network Device Interface) is a protocol to send Video over IP. It is designed to allow the distribution of live professional video content over an existing IP infrastructure, freeing users from current hardware constraints. This means that NDI®5 doesn’t just cut back on cost, but also drastically reduces deployment time.

This software uses the NDI™ library. NDI™ is a trademark of NewTek, Inc.
