WJ VIDEO PON / VERSION 1.2.10

Video playout for live production.

WJ Video Pon plays 4K video, photos, and still images on cue for theatre, live events, ceremonies, exhibitions, and streaming. Scene Memory stores a named cue list for each show section and switches the standby list without stopping the current PROGRAM output.

KEY CONTROLS

Scene Memory for each show section

  • Named scenesStore separate video and still-image cue lists for the first half, second half, acts, or other sections.
  • Add, rename, and deleteCreate a blank scene and give each list an operator-friendly name from the Scene Memory bar.
  • PROGRAM continuesSwitching scenes during playback changes only the standby cue list; the live picture continues uninterrupted.

Older projects open as “Scene 1,” preserving their existing cues.

KEY CONTROLS

Separate video and audio outputs

  • Video OutputSelect the external display that receives the full-screen program picture.
  • Audio OutputChoose the audio device for sound embedded in the video independently.
  • Controls stay on the MacThe external display receives clean picture without the operator interface.
WJ Video Pon still-image AUTO ADVANCE and Display Time settings

KEY CONTROLS

Timed still-image auto advance

  • Display TimeSet the duration and countdown for JPG, JPEG, PNG, or HEIC still-image cues.
  • Transition completes at zeroA CUT changes at zero; a Crossfade starts early enough to finish at zero.
  • Safe timing limitThe Crossfade duration must be shorter than Display Time.

Stills can share a group with videos, and the group returns to its first cue only when its final video uses AUTO PLAY NEXT.

NEXT on the left, PROGRAM on the right

Version 1.2.9 reorders the control-screen monitors so the operator can scan from the prepared next cue to the current live picture from left to right.

Attached while the window moves

PROGRAM is held as a still image attached to the control interface while it moves, then returns to the live view. The actual picture and audio on the external display continue uninterrupted.

License identification independent of the network

The license Mac ID no longer depends on Wi-Fi or the Mac hostname, and existing licenses created with the previous method migrate safely on the same Mac.

Confirm the cue before Delete

Delete now shows the cue number and title before offering Cancel or Delete. It removes only the cue entry, never the original video or image file. The dialog warns that deleting the PROGRAM cue stops output, and deletion is blocked while a transition or automatic CUT involving that cue is in progress.

A/B dual-engine output

The dual-engine output prepares the next video in the background, helping transitions begin smoothly from the first frame.

Clean full-screen external output

Keep the control interface on the operator’s Mac while the selected external display shows only the program video.

Fade audio with video when required

Choose per cue whether audio follows the picture fade, so a visual transition does not have to change the sound level.

Automatic display-sleep prevention

While WJ Video Pon is running, it prevents Mac display sleep to protect the output. The block is released when the app quits, without changing the user’s macOS settings.
