Conduit Live Stage Tools

Stage Tools is a special-purpose toolset for Conduit Live.

Equipped with Stage Tools, Conduit Live becomes like a lighting console for realtime video effects and playback. Practically everything in Conduit Live can be programmed to create show sequences: slider and color picker animations, effect changes, image load/play/pause events, even full-screen output changes. With Stage Tools, a single video operator can easily and reliably run a complex show with multiple video outputs and any mix of live and prerecorded video material.

The realtime rendering power of Conduit Live makes it a great platform for high-quality video performances and other live video deployments. For the first time ever, the same toolset that is used for high-quality film visual effects can be also used for realtime video. Floating-point color, HDR, advanced keyers and color spaces — it's all at your disposal without compromises.

For advanced live applications, Conduit Live supports two simultaneous full-screen video outputs. Both outputs are shown as nodes in the Conduit Editor, so you can easily pipe anything to either screen.

For more comfortable live use, the sliders and color pickers in Conduit can be driven with an external MIDI controller device. Controller feedback is supported, so motorized sliders on an external device will follow actions in the Conduit user interface.

We've placed a serious emphasis on stability to ensure that Conduit Live is up to the demands of large-scale video performance.

The Finnish National Theatre has deployed Conduit Live Stage Tools for a major play:

“Tuntematon sotilas (The Unknown Soldier) is the hottest play in Finland right now. Hailed by Finland's leading newspaper as the cultural event of the decade and instantly sold out for the entire season, this clever and engaging modernization of a national classic appeals to a whole new generation of theatre-goers and makes innovative use of modern technology. Live video is in a central role, as many scenes are conceived entirely around it. If the video crashed, 800 spectators would be left with nothing to watch.

All the video material goes through Conduit Live. This software does everything — color correction, compositing, multiple video inputs, multiple hi-res outputs — with impeccable stability.”
