Veejay is a visual instrument and realtime video sampler. Veejay allows you to "play" the video like you would play a piano. While playing, you can record the resulting video directly to disk (video sampling). Veejay can be operated live by using the keyboard (which is 100% user definable) and / or remotely over ethernet.
Veejay can be used to manipulate video in a realtime environment i.e. 'VeeJay' for visual performances or for (automated) interactive video installations.
