Effects Mode
Effects Mode enables real-time video color and transformation effects, controlled by MIDI CC messages. This turns the MVP from a simple player into a live performance tool for VJs and creative workflows.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
Resolution: Effects Mode supports video playback up to 1080p 60fps. 4K videos are NOT supported in this mode.
Playback Interruption: Switching the Video Mode will immediately stop any currently playing video or lighting cue.
