FaçadeSignage

What FaçadeSignage is

FaçadeSignage is Windows software for projection mapping and media playback, using a PC with one or more projectors to put digital content onto objects and buildings. It handles flat, curved, and irregular surfaces, with unlimited mapping surfaces and layers. Content can include videos, images, and live feeds; sub-regions can be combined for synchronized presentations. Realtime cropping and alpha masks provide multiple cropping areas for media.

Its built-in client-server mode allows a control panel on one PC to operate players from another PC. Listed input resources include WebCam, DirectShow, Spout, PowerPoint, and Epiphan Grabber, while MIDI, OSC, and HTTP are available for remote automation. The maker names events, shops, showrooms, fairs, museums, theatres, conferences, and lobbies as possible settings.

The download page offers version 2021.1.4.1 for Windows in 64-bit and 32-bit editions. Lite is limited to one projector, home use, one set per project, and 1920x1080 output. Standard supports multiple projectors, live input, remote control, movie export, and 3840x1200 output. Professional adds a second editing license, live application capture, advanced remote control, and unlimited output resolution. A one-time 21-day trial license comes with the installer.
