Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the kaptivator.

The kaptivator Dynamic Video Station is a video performance instrument that allows you to sample video, store and playback video samples (“clips”), apply effect processing, and mix live and stored video signals, all in realtime without having to use any additional equipment.

Its superb reliability and operational ease will allow you to create video performances as never be- fore.

1.Main features

•Video performance and sampling instrument.

•Intuitive, easy-to-use design is based on familiar music sampler-style controls and interface.

•Quickly sample and playback video; mix video sources; add and manipulate video effects; - all in real time.

•Sample and store up to 800 clips (approximately 106 minutes - maximum ten minutes per clip) to the internal hard drive and play them from the sixteen clip pads.

•Pads are divided into two groups (Group A and Group B), allowing you to play and mix two sources simultaneously. A third external video input source can also be added to the mix.

•Two color LCD monitors allow you to simultaneously monitor the external input, output and internal video sources.

•Assigning an index image to each clip allows the video content of the sixteen pads to be seen all at once.

•Exclusive storage format with minimal compression allows smooth video effects such as speed change, reverse, random playback, or scratching during playback.

•The rotary knob, ribbon and slider provide performance control over mixing, effects, and play- back speed.

•Any one of the fifteen video effects can be applied to any video source, clip or mix.

•One hundred programmable “styles” can be saved and quickly recalled; each one memorizes specific video routing, effect and controller assignments.

•The Motion Sequence function lets you record all your front panel controller movements and effect changes. One hundred Motion Sequences can be stored and played back with any style.

•Move to the music! The kaptivator can detect the tempo, level changes and audio triggers from an external audio source and use them to control the effects, mix levels, etc.

•The BPM setting lets you match the video playback speed to the tempo of your music.

•The “Main Out Capture” function can grab up to eight seconds of video signal from the MAIN OUT jack to be used as an additional source for mixing and effect processing, or to be resampled and saved to a clip.

•A DV connector is provided, allowing you to input or output digital video format (DV) signals to/from a DV camera or other device.

•PAL/NTSC video signal formats are supported.

•A simple PAL/NTSC conversion function allows you to play back video that was recorded in either format.

•Contains dynamic and visually exciting video clips and images created by cutting-edge VJ and video artists.
