Media Server

When off-the-shelf media servers don’t suite your needs, create your own with vvvv. All the components typically needed (video, audio, realtime graphics, lights, lasers) are there for you to customize and tailor to your specific use case. Combine with your own idea of a UI and finally export your media server as a windows app for easy deployment.

Audio, Video, Lights and Lasers

Image sequence playback (.dds files for best performance/quality)
Video playback based on Microsoft Media Foundation
Projection Mapping support via multiple thirdparty integrations
Shader based image effects (TextureFX)
Multichannel audio engine with VST3 audio plugin integration
Support for protocols to control stage lights
Support for Lasers plus a set of nodes to generate paths with blanking

Realtime Graphics

Stride based 3d/VR rendering engine
Skia based 2d rendering engine
Rive integration including bi-directional data-binding
CEF for rendering web content

Integrations

When it comes to running content of other engines or media servers through vvvv or the other way round, running vvvv content through other media servers or engines, there are not limits. It always comes down to texture and parameter sharing and can be realized in many ways. If you need a hand with this, we’d be happy to help, please get in touch.

Plugin Architecture

When building a large modular media server, at some point you’ll want it to support a custom idea of plugins. Check out this demo app with plugins to learn how to set this up.
