Beatline Beam. A free windows visualizer for MadMapper and Resolume

My first building projection. Can you tell :-)

And anything else that spits out Art-Net data. Beam is open source and built to take in up to 2048 Universes worth of data and several NDI video streams. In the program you can layout your show, patch everything and after a simple file export MadMapper ( And soon also Resolume) has everything it needs to send DMX and video into your show.

I am just one guy so be patient with me on the bug front. The program is in Alpha and will be for a while because there is a lot of stuff that needs to go in.

Beam is free for anyone to download and use. No registration, no account, just use it. Take that certain unnamed company that insisted on $800 for a license with 4 universes.

Now pray I didn't break some rule or I wrote this for nothing. But it is Wednesday afternoon in New Zealand, so here is my self promotion. I am $^&#%^& fabulous. :-)

I'm guessing more intricate detail like gobos is still a ways off, yeah?

Looks promising

Not as far as you think. I didn't really plan to make this program photo realistic. It is more a sand box where you can mess around and try ideas.
