3L "Thrill"

Míg a VJ társadalom egy részét a Grand VJ hozza izgalomba, addig a másik fele a 3L-t várja bizakodva.
A progit az alábbi ficsörök jellemzik:

Camera Navigation:
-Wide/telephoto view angles
-Navigation through scene space with 12 pan / tilt / zoom motion controls
-Individual speed and smoothing controls

Multiple instance processes:
For each individual object:
-Matrix up to 5 x 5 x 5
-Particle system
-Video trail matrix
-Multiple object module enables the use other objects a as a path to map multiple instances of a second object.

One screen GUI
3L's streamlined interface fits over 3000 individually configurable parameters into a one-screen GUI at 1440 x 900 pixels
-No annoying pop-ups
-Collapse modules not in use

THE 3L slider
Each individual parameter of 3L is represented by a slider or a button which packs more granular control into less space than any other program on the market.

-Midi learn and Midi active modes
-Apply 9 types of realtime analysis to parameter values with 5 different math operations independent of parameter range
-Apply 9 types of realtime analysis to range selections with 5 different math operations independent of parameter value
-Apply individual smoothing vales independently to both value and range oscillations
-Chaining sliders to each other
-Mix chained sliders between their own generated value and incoming slider values with 5 different math operations
-Key command controls for instantaneous inverting and zooming values, and turning analysis on/off

Powerful preset system
-Save, recall and delete individual named module presets
-Save, recall, and delete global setting presets
-Interpolate between 2 saved preset values of individual modules
-Apply analysis modes to preset interpolation

Realtime analysis and data generators:
Every parameter (sliders, buttons, and selected menus) can be individually assigned at the slider level to either:
-External midi devices
-3 definable bands of audio analysis with global and individual gain control
-9 analysis modes for each audio band
-3 LFO wave generators with 64 step sequencing
-64 point graph drawing on a 64 x 16 matrix
-Interpolateable graphs
-Video analysis of output or pre- and- post fx of output and textures for brightness, contrast, and motion
All data generators can be variably quantized system wide to an internal clock or external midi clocks. All assignable parameters also support independent time scales from the global values

Outputs:
-2nd screen supports 14 native render sizes ranging from from 320x240 pixels up to 3200 x 2400 pixels (hardware dependent)
-Independent x/y axis zoom controls
-Multiple screen support (hardware dependent)
-30/25 FPS realtime record to disc (DVR) with audio
-3rd screen output via firewire with individually selectable output of each object or each texture pre- and post-fx

320x240 Interactive preview manager:
-Allows click and grab movement of individual objects and object groups
-Individual and quad views of texture pre and post fx
-Scrubbing clip previews for file manager

OS independent file manager:
-Define up to 4 individual root folders for easy navigation

BPM clock
-Synch to internal or external clocks
-Globally quantize ticks and measures
-Tap bpm with keyboard, mouse, drag number field, or assign to external midi controller

DMX
(this module requires additional unlocking)
-Built in support for udmx microcontroller via usb
-Built in support for up to 10 groups in one dmx universe
-Built in support for vms video mirror units
