WikiVJ-Link wiki
Everything about VJ-Link, with an honest status for every part.
Beta
This wiki describes the beta 0.1.3. Many parts have not met real stage hardware yet; every page says what is tested and what is not.
What VJ-Link does
VJ-Link plays live visuals on screens, projectors and LED walls. The light desk leads: it recalls scenes, sets the colors, the brightness, the strobe and the blackout. The tempo comes from the music, best from LJ-Link, so everything moves in time without anybody tapping.
- Local: no account, no cloud, no telemetry. Only the update check and a problem report you send yourself use the internet.
- Free and open source for macOS and Windows, under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 like LJ-Link: source code.
- English and German, chosen from the system language and switchable on the start screen.

Something missing or wrong?
Ask in our Discord or report a problem. Reports from real gear help most, also when something does not work.
