Real-Time Video Software Demonstration
... to easily create live visual productions
Livid Instruments, the revolutionary company behind the world's first line of video instruments and VJ software, will demonstrate its innovative video application Union at the Apple Store in New York City's SoHo district Tuesday August 31st at 6:30 PM.
Union is the world's first "video performance" software instrument geared toward the emerging VJ market. A complete live video mixing and presentation solution, Union can manage, edit, and manipulate over 4,000 QuickTime media files on the fly, from any Apple Macintosh G4 or G5 computer.
Union provides the most comprehensive platform to easily create live visual productions for clubs, theater productions, fashion shows, corporate events, and live concert performances.
"Over the last couple of years club owners all over the world have installed these amazing projection systems and high-end plasma screens, but you've rarely seen them being creatively utilized to their full potential. Union allows anyone with an computer and video camera to create and compose live multimedia experiences," states Andrew Rudy CEO of Livid Instruments.
Since its release in June, Union has been driving dynamic live visual presentations for Macintosh users all over the world. Inline with Livid's Viditar and Tactic hybrid video instruments, Union is designed to exploit the power of Apple's computers and the QuickTime format to provide a mobile alternative to expensive dedicated video systems.
At August 31's exclusive in-store demonstration Livid will be demonstrating their progressive new software as well as conducting a workshop on "playing video". Livid's founder Jay Smith, the inventor of the Viditar and member of multimedia band Sinch, will be on hand to demonstrate in and outs of live video performance and creation.
