All-in-one audio / video / show control player

The Event Video Player offers a unique and full broadcast solution for show control (DMX512 output, Art-Net output, output contacts and RS-232 commands) in perfect synchronization with the playback of audio / video files up to 4K HDR10 resolution. 

Thanks to HTML5 / JavaScript engine, you enrich your video content with dynamic graphical interfaces. And you easily create web remote control. 

The player provides line-level and speakers audio outputs suitable for all types of installations.

Many triggering and scenario possibilities

The screenplay is carried out thanks to numerous interfaces: autoplay, input and output contacts, Art-Net or DMX512 commands, multi-touch screen, TCP/IP or HTTP commands, serial link, time programming.

Go even further by developing your HTML applications with the player control JavaScript API. And build easily user interfaces for the audiences.

Reliable and easy-to-install

Record show controls directly through Art-Net or DMX512 from your usual light console or software, or create them from the dedicated Show Control Editor software.

Integration time is reduced: the Event Video Player is rack mountable and wired with pluggable terminal blocks. The direct access to the content makes updates fast and intuitive.

The Event Video Player is designed for 24/7 operation. Engineered and manufactured in France, it comes with a 3-year warranty.
