klif [HR] – Serial Control of Panasonic AVE55 Video Mixer

A lecture/performance showing benefits and advantages of using serial control of a Panasonic WJAVE55 video mixer. Klif, obsessed with software control of hardware devices over the years, wrote control software for various video mixers, video matrix switchers, pan/tilt cameras, robotic systems, etc… These methods are not very popular, which is strange considering how different the output of a video mixer can look once you start automating / randomising wipes and effects.
During the lecture I will demonstrate the system – show benefits and few disadvantages, show mapping of controls to MIDI, discuss strategies of software control in performance based software – randomising, sequencing, etc…

The artwork of Ivan Marusic Klif features two aspects of media art: one is the use of electronic and digital technology in the art world context and the other is a research of relationship between human being and his/her technological environment.
From his early light installations of the 90’s to the recent software-controlled installations Ivan Marušić Klif has consistently explored and experimented with the possibilities of media, both new and obsolete, through the use of sound, light or video image, continually constructing increasingly complex immersive technologically mediated environments. Main technological focus of his recent work is controlling analog equipment using computers. He is the managing director of Vector hack festival.
