Midi-VT for VT and TriCaster

MIDI-VT provides real-time MIDI In and Out support for the VT and TriCaster. This opens up exciting possibilities for use of control surfaces such as the Behringer BCF2000 and BCR2000, as well as for live performance artists, VJs, and theatre technicians.

A MIDI control surface, or other device that supports assignable MIDI messages, connected to a MIDI-In on the computer can control modules in real-time with visual feedback thru the module's user interface (if open).

MIDI-Out support means that you can now synchronize control of MIDI lighting systems and other external MIDI devices, within a video project. This is implemented through a standard VT-Edit Utility, allowing keyframing of parameters for precisely controlled fades and other changes.

The MIDI activity/error LEDs make it easy to monitor incoming and outgoing messages, as well as errors.

Note that MIDI-VT does NOT make use of unreliable keyboard shortcut simulation to control modules. It directly controls the modules to ensure reliability.
