Need more? GrandVJ’s learn mode makes it a breeze to set up any MIDI controller. Hook it up and start the show!
Easy as 1, 2, 3,…
GrandVJ is very easy to customize to each user’s preferred setup. The interface can be quickly modified to fit individual needs and preferences. Mapping MIDI controllers is a breeze thanks to the new MIDI learn mode and you can even import predefined presets for specific MIDI controllers.
Supports almost everything
On the mixing side, GrandVJ comes with an updated ArKaos effects library and a long list of automated video generators. GrandVJ also offers an extensive support for various media including most video and image formats; flash text and animations; and multiple camera inputs.
Need some footage?
The software installer that you can download from this web site already comes with some video loops to get you started.. Okay, you need high quality? The boxed version comes shipped with an additional DVD-Rom containing 2.8 GB of high quality video footage ready to be mixed with the software.
These additional loops are exclusively available with the box and can’t be obtained separately, they have been made especially for VJ-ing purpose by professional VJ’s and Visual Artists from all over the world, check the GrandVJ Artists page for more info.
High performance for both PC and Mac
Behind the scenes, GrandVJ speeds up with a state-of-the-art multi-threaded hardware-accelerated graphical engine that supports multiple screens and very high-resolution video. Like all other ArKaos products, GrandVJ runs on both PC and Mac.
GrandVJ comes with 2 serial codes. One serial can be used on a system to prepare the show and the other license can be used on the live machine at the gig. You can also use one serial for a Windows machine and the other for a Mac.
The new license system also allows you to “de-activate” a serial so it can be used on a new or other system.
