Hi Bome Community,
Can you advise me please?
I have DMX stage lighting controlled with an Avolites Titan Mobile desk. This can communicate via Midi.
I want to “timecode” a movie with my lighting so that the lighting is perfectly synced to the movie, but I need the movie player to output 4K and Surround Sound, so this needs to be a quality media player.
In addition to this I will be using Madmapper projection mapping also synced to the movie.
All of this is to offer a great family community event for everyone to enjoy. I love being creative and more so sharing this unique event with others for their enjoyment and for free.
I have tried using the “reaper” daw and midi linking to the soundtrack, and although it works very well, the player outputs a poor quality picture and low volume sound and I have had to make many mods to the software to get it to play.
Ideally I want to play the movie on the 4K KMPlayer which is excellent both in picture and sound, and I wondered if anyone has come across this concept before. Is there a possibility to control the start/stop/pause with a midi generated trigger?
I would like the option of a timecode so each light fixture movement/colour change etc has an exact time it occurs and is perfectly triggered / synced every time the movie is played.
Failing that, trigger the lighting at the start of each music track or event from the movie on the media player.
Is this a possibility?
Or if not feasible, could you offer an idea that would work with this software?
I am competent with digital lighting design and programming, but have no experience of midi, though I can follow a clear work instruction.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
Andy
