VidShow™ Controller

Since 2001, our VidShow™ controllers have set a new standard as the first ever, fully integrated show control and multi-channel MPEG video servers. VidShow™controllers are
ideal for 3D, 4D/5D, 4D theaters, multi-image large format screens, motion base rides and motion simulators, rich-content interactive exhibits, and the X4D™ Motion EFX Experience. VidShow™ is an extension of our premier ShowFlow™ control system. By adding one or more of our hardware video decoder cards, it becomes not only a full show control unit, but also the most programmable MPEG and Hi-Definition video server available! Featuring up to 16 independent or synchronized MPEG-2 video streams, or up to 6 independent or synchronized High Definition video streams, VidShow™Controllers provide unprecedented control over, not just the video streams, but also internal or external Digital and Analog I/O, DMX, Midi, RS232, or Ethernet based devices. Available in a variety of configurations and optional I/O interfaces, VidShow™ provides a single integrated unit for your 4D/5D theater, interactive exhibit, attraction or ride.
