Avolites announces it will be launching a full range of Q-Series Media Servers, designed to meet any pixel processing need for performances and projects, along with the Ai v12.1 software release with the Pioneer Pro DJ Link Bridge integration software. The full line-up of media servers includes the Q3, Q3pro, Q4 and Qgen.
Video content and projection mapping have become major components in many performances and installations and Avolites’ Synergy feature set is designed to integrate video into designs. Hence, the next step for Avolites was to create hardware to complement the Ai software.
“Seeing the projects and shows Ai has been used on made us realize we needed to provide servers powerful enough to meet the creative vision of our users.” says Ciaran Abrams, Avolites, Ai Lead Developer.
The Q3 Pro is a portable server for more demanding shows with two 4K outputs and one HD along with EDID managed HDMI outputs.
The Q4 gives is designed to deliver“breath-taking detail with four 4K outputs and flexible input modules to design a server to meet the most demanding needs,” according to the announcement.
With the rise in use of interactive real-time generative content providers like Notch, the Qgen is designed to deliver graphics with three 4K outputs and a Nvidia graphics card that can deliver approximately 30,000 Notch marks + 2-year Notch play back License.
“We worked with our customers to understand what technology and features matter to them, seeing these now developed into the new Q Series range is very exciting, and is just the start for where we see future of the Q Series.” Says Paul Wong, Avolites Managing Director.
