What Raedia is

Raedia is a local-first media server for live visuals, VJ mixing, projection mapping, and LED-wall control. It mixes clips and layers on the GPU with 31 built-in effects, blend modes, transitions, and an A/B crossfader. Mapping tools include keystone and mesh warp, masks, soft-edge blending, output presets, and virtual screens for offline setup. Control options range from MIDI, OSC, DMX, Art-Net, and sACN to a REST/HTTP API and browser or phone remotes. Raedia can receive NDI and Spout video, work with capture devices, load ISF shaders and FFGL 2.0 plugins, and sync with Ableton Link. Show data is stored locally in SQLite and a .raedia JSON bundle, without a cloud dependency at show time. The beta runs on Windows 10/11 64-bit; macOS is planned. A seven-day trial is available, and subscription prices are shown at checkout. Minimum requirements include Windows 10 64-bit, a DirectX 11-capable GPU, 8 GB RAM, and HDMI or DisplayPort output.
