Wings Vioso RX is a cross-media software tool for production of multi-media AV presentations that can contain virtually any type of show control elements. Wings Vioso RX was released in December 2001 and has been consistently advanced. In developing, we have essentially pursued two goals:
Media integration based on a modern software architecture which allows integration of all present and future applications.
Simple and intuitive operation via a modern graphic user interface featuring media-oriented editing and new and handy functions.
In order to combine high performance and flexible media integration with simple operation, we have developed a completely new user surface with a whole lot of user-friendly functions you will find out about at a later time. At the centre of the operational concepts are the objects representing a medium, e.g. a sound element, a picture or a video. Some object may also be certain functions, e.g. pause and navigation markers, light gradients for spot lights or serial commands.
All these objects are arranged on a timeline. The timeline is the central window containing the tracks, which displays the timeline from left to right. On the tracks, the different media are arranged as objects in the required chronological order. Editing of these objects is based on a uniform concept which means that the editing steps are identical, whenever possible. This should facilitate working with Wings Vioso RX. Any editing is non-destructive, i.e. all media files on the hard disk remain unchanged and editing steps can be made undone or changed.
There are certain track types in accordance with the media used in them, i.e. picture, sound and video tracks, with their contents being output to certain devices. An audio track sends audio data to a sound card output. Or a picture track transfers data for a screen field on a screen. For a multidisplay presentation the screen contents are distributed to different video projectors or displays. The entire media management, calculation of overlap and gray scale is performed by Wings Vioso RX. A true novelty is the camera-based VIOSO calibration, which corrects multidisplay setup for projection onto warped projection surfaces with regard to geometry and color and additionally allows automatic generation of softedge masks. Integration of Show Control is via objects that output their control information via the Wings Avio System or various hardware in sync with all the media. Synchronization is guaranteed at any time and the device follow every mouse-click, if the user says so. Wings Vioso RX with its vast range of useful features takes a lot of work off your shoulders and allows you to fully concentrate on the designing of the show.
