Introduction

CG-8 Wins Best Video Product for 2006 awared by Club Systems International.

Introducing a new way to interact with visual performance—the CG-8. The CG-8 Visual Synthesizer brings the same revolutionary creative possibilities to the visual artists of today that the music synthesizer brought to musicians in the 70’s. The CG-8 takes simple JPG and PNG images and synthesizes them through cutting edge visual effects and modulators to create stunning real-time moving visual creations. The CG-8 uses an intuitive, easy to use interface of pads, control knobs, X-Y Pad and the revolutionary D-Beam to allow the artist to manipulate and perform visuals in real-time. The CG-8 makes video content creation available to those not experienced with high end computer based motion graphics software packages. Now VJs, churches, corporate AV companies, schools, web designers and video producers can create stunning motion graphics and creative moving logo treatments easier than ever before – and perform them live!
