A GPU-native media server for live visuals. Play and mix layers like an instrument — then map any region of your canvas onto the projectors and LED walls in the room.
Install, load clips, mix, add effects, map it onto a surface and go live — the whole workflow, start to finish.
Pro-grade power. Consumer-grade ease. The real-time compositor VJs and venues have been overpaying for — rebuilt open, affordable, and actually easy to drive.
Fire clips and columns to launch whole scenes. Layers, blends, transforms and per-clip effect chains — composited live on the GPU, no render wait.
Warp any region of the canvas onto projectors and LED walls — keystone, mask and soft-edge blend. The hard part of a media server, made drivable.
MIDI, OSC and DMX in, from the gear you already own. A phone remote is being developed now.
Composite clips, generators and effects in real time. Fire a column to launch a whole scene at once — each layer with its own opacity, blend mode, transform and chain.
Drop an effect on a whole layer or a single clip — invert, mirror, saturation, crop, RGB-shift and more — reordered and re-tuned live, no render wait.
Warp, mask and edge-blend content regions onto any physical surface. The hardest part of a media server, turned into something a non-technical operator can drive.
Being developed now for Pro: fire columns and clips, ride layer levels and the crossfader from a phone on your own network. No app to install.
MIDI, OSC and DMX (Art-Net / sACN) in — as control. Drive Raedia from the pads, faders and lighting desk you already own.
Send different regions of your composition to projectors and LED walls — both reached over standard display output, no processor voodoo.
Real-time visuals and mapping without an enterprise licence. Affordable, and available now.
The mapping surface a non-technical operator can actually drive — not a specialist-only tool.
Projectors and LED walls over standard HDMI / DisplayPort — no external processors in the chain.
A phone remote for Pro is being developed now. No app to install, no extra hardware.
A wgpu compositor written in Rust — GPU-native, lean, and fast where it counts.
Standard formats, standard control protocols — Raedia fits the rig you already own.
Most tools are brilliant at one half of the job. Raedia brings real-time mixing, projection mapping and LED-wall output into a single Windows app a non-technical operator can actually run.
