im pretty sure it is because it uses the same functions as a Media Server, such as an AXON Media Server. http://www.highend.com/products/digital ... g/axon.asp. these are hardware/software solutions designed for stable playback within certain parameters. mapping, effects, layering would all be done on one of these prior to the amazing breakthrough of software solutions like Arena. hope this helps!

From Resolume web:

Resolume Arena 4 Media Server
Resolume 4 comes in 2 editions. Avenue is the VJ software you know and love, Arena has all the features of Avenue plus features you'd expect from a media server, soft edging, screen warping, DMX input and SMPTE timecode input.

Screen Warping & Video Mapping Arena
In the advanced output window you can now create as many slices from your composition and position and transform them to your liking. This is perfect for projection mapping on many surfaces. Your surfaces do not have to be rectangular anymore either, you can warp your video onto curved screens with the advanced bezier transformations.

Soft Edge Arena
With soft edging you can seamlessly project 1 widescreen image with 2 or more projectors. It can even wrap around the composition for 360 degrees seamless projection.

SMPTE Timecode Input Arena
With SMPTE Timecode input you can run you clips in sync with anything you want. Lights, lasers, even fireworks! Just not the go-go dancers, but we're working on that.

DMX Input Arena
You can control Arena from a lighting desk using DMX. It works similar to MIDI so it's very easy to configure. Input can be done via ArtNet or an Enttec DMX USB Pro.
