ChainGang Description

MIDI timecode synchronous software video player utilizing Quicktime for Java and jdk 1.5/CoreMidi technologies ChainGang is a solution for synchronizing video playback to MIDI Clock or MIDI timecode. Designed for project- and professional level AV and PostPro studios ChainGang frees the main audio production hard- and software from the burden of in-sequencer videoplayback by passing that task to laptops or additional machines that may stand around unused.As more and more tone generation and audio processing is performed by plugins and virtual instruments, the deployment cycles of DAW PCs seem to become shorter and shorter. ChainGang potentially can help you squeeze another year out of your hardware by offloading video to a secondary computer for just fractions of the costs of an all new system.Besides its primary purpose ChainGang presents a simple way to do synchronized multiscreen video installations or timecode synchronous teleprompting.ChainGang, originally a feature isolated from our HUMA hypervideo system, has evolved into a serious tool, meeting the needs of soundtrack producers, film musicians and voice dubbing studios, while remaining simple to use, focussed on essentials and last but not least affordable. Here are some key features of "ChainGang": · Plays and syncs all video formats Quicktime supports · Windowed or fullscreen video playback with optional & size adjustable onscreen timecode display. · Adjustable frameoffset in both positive and negative direction. Absolute offsetting up to 24h · Optional Midi through · Optional full frame position Midi out on manual seeks to reposition the master sequencer from the video slave. · May send and read MIDI Machine Control (MMC) · Optional synchronized audioplayback · Automatic timecode vs.video framerate check with visual feedback. · Full Quicktime export functionality to eventually adjust media to hardware capabilities. (no Quicktime Pro key required) · Total recall operation. The program remembers all its operating parameters and restarts in the way you have last shut it down, thus freeing you from the need to load setups or adjust parameters over and over again in daily production work (setups can be saved and restored, too). · Virtual 00:00:00.00 frames. An unlimited number of virtual zero frames allow to split audio work into multiple projects. · Import audio, save & export movies for quick demoing or any other reason. · detailed MIDI monitoring facility. · Mac version supports virtual MIDI endpoints and IAC bus. · Selectable display adapter for fullscreen mode · Support for 24p / 23.976 fps NTSC movies · Windows XP version supports Quicktime Video Output Components. · Minimal GUI / always on top option · Generic ethernet Midi receiver to directly connect to some Midi via IP systems. · Recent file history to quickly recall setups. · May act as a timecode master in MMC loop setups. · Frameoffset routeable to MTC & MMC or MTC only · Offset learn mode to map any videoframe to any incoming timecode value. · License may be stored on USB stick, allowing you to run the program on multiple machines. Requirements: · Java Limitations: · 14 days trial · In demo mode ChainGang will break incoming MIDI and fullscreen display every 20 minutes and shut down after an hour. Fullscreen display will not hide the mouse pointer and show a humatic logo in an eventual letterbox. What's New in This Release: · Endless timecode dials. · Manual entry of "learned frames". · A number of bugfixes.
