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.
Mix layers, add effects, map the canvas onto any surface and drive it from a phone or a lighting desk.
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, your own keys and the beat of the music. Pro adds the lighting desk, timecode and a phone remote.
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.
Pair a phone with a code or QR, then fire columns and clips and ride layer levels and the crossfader from it, on your own network. No app to install.
MIDI and OSC in with Learn, your own keyboard keys, beat and audio mapping, and OSC out. Pro adds DMX (Art-Net / sACN) in and out, MIDI clock in and out, and timecode cues.
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.
Pro includes a phone remote. 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.
