Defiant GLSL Studio

What each plan lets you show, and where.

The studio is the same in every tier. What changes is how long it runs, how many screens it drives, and whether the picture may be shown to a paying public.

You are on Free — personal use only, no public or paid shows.

"Ask" means it is possible but needs an arrangement — usually more sites, more screens, or output sold as part of your own service.

Three jobs, and what each one needs

A billboard or shop window

Something that runs unattended for weeks and must not stop.

  1. Commercial — the licence that covers public, for-profit display.
  2. Build the playlist as a show, then Present it full screen.
  3. Leave the machine on a kiosk profile so the window cannot be closed.
  4. Above six screens, or several sites, move up to Enterprise.

A pub or bar

Music-led visuals behind the bar, driven by the room.

  1. Commercial — a venue with customers is public, for-profit display.
  2. Route the audio feed into the Audio iChannel; the shader follows the music.
  3. Save three or four looks as a show and switch between them.
  4. One subscription covers that venue. A second site needs its own.

A live event

Projectors, an LED wall, and a crowd that notices mistakes.

  1. Commercial for anything ticketed, sponsored or paid.
  2. Test it at the venue before doors — the same show, the same screen size.
  3. Personal is enough to build and rehearse; the licence is for the show itself.
  4. Very large walls: the browser has a ceiling — that is what Enterprise is for.
