APS Media Player: Live Events
APS includes a built-in media player for Mac and PC, designed for reliable VT playback and background loops. Play videos, audio, and images directly on top of your presentation content — media and show control from a single computer.
Or run APS as a dedicated media source you switch to when needed.
Play videos seamlessly on top of the desktop
We are the first media-player in the world that can fade in/out videos in fullscreen on top of your desktop. This gives you new options in how you can use your PC to play different media-content: For example, you can play your videos on the same display as used for PowerPoint presentations or Mentimeter sessions. The transition between the videos and the other content will be just as seamless as when using a video-switcher with a separate computer just for the video.
Use APS as a dedicated media-server
We also support a workflow where you have one PC dedicated to media-playback in a larger setup with a video-switcher controlling content from different computers and cameras. By using network-triggers from APS, you can automate when the video-switcher displays the APS video-window, ensuring that you will only see the video when its actually playing.
Control with Stream Deck and Companion
The Stream Deck gives you a physical controller for the media-player. You can start and stop videos, and view countdowns that tells you how much time is left of the video. Our Companion-module gives you everything you need to control the media-player during the show
Or use the program interface
The most straightforward way to control the media-player is through the program interface. The controls should be easy Here you can also select the media you want to use for playback.
