A MIDI controller for Live Video. From their site:
Livid Instruments, the creators of real-time video instruments introduced today their latest hardware product, the Tactic m2. The Tactic m2 is the updated version of their innovative video instrument, first introduced last year. Since it’s release the Tactic has powered world tours and the m2 made its debut last week at Hotel MTV with the visuals designed by Livid for the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.This new streamlined Tactic model features a completely new Tactic Pro 1.5 software package. The hybrid hardware-software design allows Tactic Pro 1.5 to run on almost any Macintosh computer, never making it obsolete. “With the Tacitc m2 we’ve introduced a more powerful set of tools while keeping our hand-crafted instrument design,” states Jay Smith, President of Livid Instruments. “Our set of software tools, effects, and hardware integration further extends Livid’s ease-of-use reputation.”
An awesome demonstration. I can't describe it, but I will tell you I want it! The Controller allows you to "play" your video feeds and clips like an instrument. With the software, also available by itself, and at a reasonable price, You can mix multiple layers of video and add over 100 effects in real time. Yes, I said real time. You can record your creations to disk in Quick Time format. As a Final Cut Pro user, I am thinking of the possibilities here, for podcasts and QT movies for the web.
