VLC+ and VLC+ M
The Pharos Designer VLC+ (Video Lighting Controller+) is designed to control the world’s largest HD video and lighting façade projects.
The VLC+ M is supported in Pharos Designer 2.15 or later.
The VLC+ is supported in Pharos Designer 2.6 or later.
Powerful processor
The VLC+ renders multiple layers of effects and HD video from internal storage or live input, and features processing including rotation and masking. Up to an unprecedented 3,000 universes (1,536,000 channels) of eDMX can be output from a single
control unit with integrated show control.
The next-generation 1U VLC+ M supports the 50, 100, 250, and 500 universe capacities, with HDMI & DisplayPort connectivity, and an audio input port that offers two channels of on-board Linear Timecode. The 2U VLC+ supports the 1000, 1500 and 3000
universe capacities, with DVI inputs and outputs.
Maximum Resolution
Pharos Designer offers flexible control for your biggest projects. Now those projects can be even more dynamic and inspiring with the astonishing power of the VLC+. It has the capacity for a monumental 3,000 universes – more than 1.5 million addresses!
With the ability to output video to pixels, handle multiple layers, masking layers, effects, and more, VLC+ has the power to turn any attraction, building facade, presentation wall, stadium, bridge – or your creative LED work of art – into
an eye-popping display.
Epic Content
VLC+ pushes your digital content further with layering and masking. With VLC+, your primary layer can be joined with four additional overlays. Video content and effects can be played using all four layers simultaneously with perfect fading between – all from locally-stored media files or a media server. Onboard masking allows sections of your array to be defined for color and intensity adjustments regardless of the content playing. All layers and masks can be dynamically edited and manipulated in real-time, with effects like mirroring, cloning, and rotation. VLC+ includes the same flexible and powerful built-in trigger system found in every Designer controller, which includes Ethernet, RS232 Serial, and external inputs to affect your video content.
Massive Control
As a DMX-over-Ethernet controller, VLC+ works with a variety of protocols, including streaming ACN (sACN), Art-Net, Philips KiNet, and Pathway Pathport, simultaneously. The rugged, rack-mount controller supports extensive third-party integration and can be monitored remotely using its built-in web interface. VLC+ uses an Ethernet connection with Pharos Designer software running on your PC or Mac for programming and show upload.
Pharos Designer also supports integration with SixEye, an independent, third-party service that allows users to monitor and control their lighting system over the internet. With Designer and SixEye, users can monitor, configure, upload, and fire triggers remotely on all connected Designer controllers. Users can also automate events to occur and create custom graphical interfaces that allow customers to easily interact with their systems. To learn more about SixEye, and get your own portal,
