EXAPLAY 3 is different
Modern and easy to use, browser-based interface with end to end open protocols.
No dongle workstation, no installer for operators and a simple mode for non-technical staff.
All the features of a media server without the price tag.
The Media Server built for permanent installations and immersive shows.
As part of the VIOSO ecosystem, you can plan your projection in VIOSO Experience Designer, then preview your content right inside that layout.
Compose video across any number of screens, projection-map with VIOSO warp & blend, drive lighting and automation with timeline Data Tracks over OSC, DMX and Art-Net, and synchronise multiple PCs frame-accurately from a single browser tab.
When something goes wrong at 3 a.m., the Auto-Heal watchdog quietly resumes the show. One system, running the room.

EXAPLAY 3 core capabilities

Multi-screen video, image, and live-input composition
HAP / HAP Q for 4K+ GPU decode
Frame blending, crossfades, blend modes, property keyframes
Real-time GPU effects (color key, luminance, chromatic aberration, dome looks

Data Tracks - keyframe curves on the timeline that emit values over OSC, UDP, TCP, Art-Net, or DMX, or drive Operator Control readouts
Timecode in/out: LTC, Art-Net, OSC
Fully compatible with ETC Eos, QLab, Medialon, Crestron etc
NDI receive/send, Spout input (zero-latency GPU texture share)

Warp and edge blend via VIOSO integration
Full Warp HTTP API for external calibration tools
Dome projection workflows (single fisheye and multi-projector ring)

Browser-based Operator Control View - no installer for ops
User Panel Builder - touch-friendly buttons, sliders, exclusive-group scene switching for kiosks and front-of-house
Simple Mode — re-skinned vocabulary so non-technical staff aren’t seeing engineer’s UI
Cue lists with F-key hotkeys
Monitor tab for live network/protocol events

File browser with breadcrumb, search, drop-in upload
System tab: batch script execution, shutdown/restart
Project export as a portable ZIP (project + all media)
Network discovery of other Exaplay instances
EXAPLAY 3 - powerful and reliable

Multi-client / Distributed
EXAPLAY 3 is built for the most demanding multi-channel applications, but designed to be light-weight and run on servers that do not carry the traditional price-tag
All new to EXAPLAY 3 is:
- Master/client roles, auto-discovery on the LAN
- Frame-accurate playback sync with measured latency compensation per client
- One-click file push of project + media to all clients
- Per-client health (FPS), sync quality (in-sync / soft-drift / hard-drift / lost), and version-mismatch badges
- Clients show a “Read Only — Client Mode” banner; convert-to-master on-site if needed

Resilience as a key foundation
We know that rock-solid reliability is non-negotiable, so this is a cornerstone of our design philosophy.
With experience of calibrating some of the worlds biggest events over the last 20 years, we built in the functinality that we often heard people asking for.
Key realibity features built into EXAPLAY 3 include
- Auto-Heal persists playback state every 2 seconds
- Watchdog Windows service restarts the engine after a crash and resumes from the last known state
- Crash-safe project saves (protected against mid-save engine crashes)
- Scheduler for daily open/close/restart events
The evolution of EXAPLAY
EXAPLAY 3 represents a major evolution for VIOSO playback technology. What started as a focused media player has grown into a complete media server platform with composition tools, distributed multi-PC operation, data-driven show control, and built-in resilience.
The focus has shifted from simply “playing a file” to running immersive venues and permanent installations.
Some key changes- Auto-Heal + Watchdog: Resumes the show from the exact frame after a power blip or crash.
- Multi-Client with frame-accurate sync: One master, many PCs, one click to push the show.
- Composition & Playback: Frame blending, crossfades, blend modes, property keyframes and real-time GPU effects .
- Data Tracks: Draw a curve, send it to Art-Net, DMX, OSC, UDP, or TCP; your video timeline now controls the building.
- Experience Designer integration: Preview your content inside the projection plan before the projectors are hung or the LED wall built.
- VIOSO warp/blend integration: Geometry-accurate projection mapping built in.
- User Panel Builder: Simplicity build in - your front-of-house staff actually use it.
- Browser-based operator control: Open a tab, run the show. It's that simple
EXAPLAY 3 - a modern media server for permanent installations and visual experiences

Run the venue, not just the system
Many people still think of EXAPLAY as a playback tool. That may have been true a few years ago.
But EXAPLAY 3 has evolved into something much bigger — a full media server platform designed for permanent installations and immersive environments.
Multi-screen playback, distributed systems, projection mapping, show control, synchronisation and browser-based operation are now all part of the same workflow.
The focus has shifted from simply “playing content” to running the entire experience.
Run the venue. Not just the video.

From cloud to tab
Planning, playback and show control have often lived in completely separate systems.
With EXAPLAY 3 and VIOSO Experience Designer, they finally work together as part of the same workflow.
Design and validate the projection system in the cloud, preview content before arriving on site, then move directly into playback and operation through the same browser-based approach.
No dongle-locked workstation. No operator installs. No disconnected tools between planning and playback.
Design it in the cloud. Run it from a tab.
