The Pharos Video Lighting Controller+ (VLC+) is designed to control the world’s largest HD video and lighting façade projects. It renders multiple layers of effects and HD video from internal storage or live input, and features processing including rotation and masking. Up to 3,000 universes of eDMX and DVI-D can be output from a single control unit with integrated show control.

The VLC+ is capable of playing two full HD videos, while seamlessly crossfading into two further videos. Its powerful composition engine lets you move and rotate video content in real time, apply custom masks for video transparency, and apply colour and intensity gains to user-defined areas of the image.

Additional video layers can be made available for playing up to 8 presets, media, text or other such content simultaneously, subject to hardware performance limits.

Perfect for very large video and lighting applications such as observation wheels, bridges, and stadia, VLC+ provides the tools to easily wrap video content around a structure, with the built-in video composition reducing the need for external equipment.

After initial commissioning using Pharos Designer, the rugged 2U device is self-contained using its 512GB SSD for media (H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG/QuickTime) and designed for ultra-reliable 24/7 operation. It also integrates seamlessly with other Pharos Architectural Controls equipment, supports all the extensive third-party integration features of the Pharos system, and can be monitored remotely over the internet using its built-in web interface.
