MediaMaster is ArKaos' flagship real-time video control and media server software, used to run visuals at concerts, festivals, theatre productions and installations. It turns a Mac or PC into a media server that a lighting desk operator or VJ can drive live: video layers, effects and outputs are triggered and mixed in real time, and the Pro edition adds tools like the VideoMapper for projection mapping and the LEDMapper for pixel-mapped LED fixtures. The MediaMaster 6 generation added a redesigned hub, a new fixture interface and the SAGA video codec; the Mac line is at version 6.1.3, since the later 6.1.4 point release was Windows-only.

Key Features

• Real-time playback and mixing of many simultaneous video layers (48 in Pro)
• VideoMapper for projection mapping and LEDMapper for pixel-mapped fixtures
• Control via DMX, Art-Net, MIDI and timecode from lighting consoles
• ArKaos Hub for sharing media across networked machines
• Syphon support on Mac for exchanging video with other applications

How to Download

1. Decide between the Express and Pro editions — mapping and the full layer count are Pro features.
2. Download from the official site — ArKaos publishes the current MediaMaster installers on its professional site.
3. Install the Mac build and activate it with the licence you purchased, or run it in the maker's trial mode where offered.

System Requirements

MediaMaster is professional show software and performs best on a recent Mac with a capable graphics processor and fast storage for video content. Check the official download page for the exact macOS version and hardware recommendations for the 6.x releases before a show.

FAQs

Is MediaMaster free?

No, it is professional software sold by licence, in Express and Pro editions. ArKaos makes the installers available from its official site so you can evaluate the software and activate it with your licence.

Can one Mac run a whole show?

For many productions, yes — that is the point of the software. Larger shows often pair MediaMaster with a lighting console for control and use dedicated media servers for very high layer counts or resolutions.
