Do it all using a unique platform, in real-time, with no limits

With SMODE, everything is real-time:

  • Compose images, video files, live video feeds, real-time compositions and 3D content and create powerful real-time compositing,
  • Connect your real-time compositions with a wide range of devices including cameras, audio feeds, MIDI controllers, lighting desks and stream-decks,
  • Generate images with generative and interactive algorithms,
  • Animate visuals and shows with a combination of live-controlled parameters, loops and pre-written timelines,
  • Simulate the final look of your event at every step of its creation, and...
  • Deliver amazing shows!

SMODE is able to handle visuals in any kind of show or installation, regardless of its size or complexity.

Real-time compositing

Compositing images in real-time is the cornerstone of SMODE.

Thanks to modern GPU computing capacities, all graphical processing usually made in pre- or post-production can now be done in real-time.

Bridging the gap between traditional compositing, VFX and real-time, real-time compositions are at the heart of SMODE: pieces of content rendered in real-time, created by the content design team, finalized and displayed on-site by the operating team.

Review and validate changes in real-time

All SMODE parameters can be changed at any time with an immediate impact on the final result.

Explore content combinations / adaptations and validate them directly either on simulation or live with the artistic director.

SMODE significantly increases the efficiency of the video encoding process during the whole pre-production and production cycle.

Made for designers

SMODE was created by and for content designers: no scripts, no graph-based program, no need to know shaders’ magic, it’s all about layers, modifiers and masks.

SMODE includes beautiful presets, examples, templates, compositing and video-mapping engine for creators, designers & artists to create stunning graphics with maximum flexibility and minimal technical knowledge.

Made for operators

SMODE gives video operators superpowers: SMODE was designed to make the action / reaction loop faster and to empower operators thanks to its friendly user interface, remote interface and external controllers such as streamdecks and lighting desks.

Collaborative

SMODE’s mission is to enhance collaboration between content teams and technical teams, giving them freedom on a shared platform where they can speak the same language.

SMODE's network protocol allows multiple users to work simultaneously and collaboratively on separate tasks such as content encoding and video projection mapping.
