FreeJ
 FreeJ is a vision
mixer: an instrument for realtime video manipulation used in the fields
of dance teather, veejaying, medical visualisation and TV.
It features realtime rendering of multilayered video and
chained effect filtering directly on the screen (through dynamically
loadable plugins)
FreeJ treats every video source as a layer, making it
possible to dynamically apply a chain of filters, loadable as
effect plugins and easily customizable. Layers are planned for
rendering of analog video input, digital movie files (avi/mpeg), image
bitmaps, sound scopes, texts and eventually more.
FreeJ can be controlled locally or remotely, and from
multiple places at the same time, using its ascii console interface;
operations can be scripted in Javascript and
triggered live via keyboard, mouse, MIDI
controllers, Joysticks, OSC clients, Wiimotes and more devices.
FreeJ is written with efficiency in mind, benefits of a
realtime object oriented architecture that makes efficient use of
multithreading (in which the layers run in parallel), also taking
advantage of multiple CPUs and cluster systems.

Features include:
- Mix multiple video layers - each layer can be video taken
from different sources: movie files, webcams, tv cards, images,
rendered text, flash animations and more
- Stream online video - produces an Ogg/Theora/Vorbis stream
for broadcast on Icecast servers, mixing all the video and grabbing the
audio from soundcard
- VeeJay over Ethernet
- Live compositing of multiple webcams, TV signals, movie
files, images, TXT files, particle generators and more..
- Can be remotely controlled (VJoE)
- Can be scripted in procedural object oriented language
- Can playback flash vectorial animations
- No frame drop when looping movie clips
- Emacs/Vi style console with hotkeys (S-Lang)
- Accepts asynchronous controllers at the same time (Midi,
joystick and more coming..)
- Very efficient video engine with multithreaded layers
