recommendations for Video playback software
Posted by Anhtu Vu on December 4, 2011 at 4:52 pmI’m looking to built a machine for Cinema/Broadcast projection. I found something on the Mac from Softron, On the Air Video Express. Is there something similar on the PC that would support the Aja card ?? Thanks

December 5, 2011 at 2:38 amI actually work for the company that makes it. Yes, you can setup a playlist/timeline. No, it doesn’t do scheduling. More for direct I/O, batch, etc. Kind of an input output processor for Scratch, then a Scratch competitor.

Do you have any other suggestions besides RaveHD ?? Spectsoft seems too fishy, i emailed them 4 times and still no reply. I can’t imagine dealing with such an unreliable company.
Btw, i downloaded your demo and it crashes quite a bit. I was using it with a 12 core Z800 and Win 7 pro. Any idea ?? Thanks

I am not sure if that last question was for me or Jeff. If there is a problem with MediaNXS, please email support-at-drastictech.com and feel free to cc me at ‘james’ at the same address.
Cheers, James
