Mapping
Add, manage and manipulate Media Display Surfaces, which in mapstard are called Maps.
Maps can be simple quads routed full screen to the desired Output Window, 3D models, or complex shaped realtime designable surfaces fitting the target architecture.
Multiple Maps can be placed on different Output Windows and different Media can be playback simultaneously.

Multi Output
Each Output Window can contain different Maps and Media or act as part of a Panorama Rendering.
Output Windows can be placed on any type of video device: projectors, HD-monitors, led- and video walls.

LFO
Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO) can be applied to Maps to add dynamics to your stage/projection design.
Map Position, Scale, Rotation and Color can oscillate between given values using different modes or alternatively, the LFOs can react to Audio signal.

Remote Control via Mobile Devices (OSC)
Using mobile device Remote Control via OSC, Maps can be designed, Media playback can be started, DMX Channel Values can be set, Presets can be loaded and many other mapstard features can be remotely controlled.
Remote control via smart-phone or tablet is achieved by using OSC Control Surface Apps such as TouchOSC.
