// Audio-Reactive Visual Streaming //
Backdrop Engine for Audio‑Responsive Themes
Your DJ's audio stream becomes a living, breathing visual experience — streamed in real time to virtual venues, clubs, and events. No OBS. No dedicated machine. Just pure reactive visuals, on demand.
// Who Is BEAT For?
BEAT serves two kinds of visionaries in the virtual events world. Find your fit — both unlock something extraordinary.
For DJs
You've spent years perfecting your sound. Now your visuals can match. BEAT listens to your audio stream and generates stunning, real-time reactive backdrops — synced to every drop, every build, every beat. Take your show to the next level at any virtual venue, across any grid you perform on. Your BEAT account travels with you.
What DJs GetFor Club & Venue Owners
Your venue deserves a visual experience that matches the energy on your dance floor. With BEAT, you control the backdrop channels for your space — invite your resident DJs in, manage their access, or run the visuals yourself. Give your club a signature look that sets you apart from every other venue on the grid.
What Venues Get// What Is BEAT?
BEAT is a cloud-powered VJ engine. It listens to your DJ's audio stream, renders real-time music-reactive visuals from a rich library of presets, and streams the result as a live video feed directly to your in-world media screens — with zero extra hardware required.
BEAT doesn't play a looping video. It listens. Your DJ's stream becomes the conductor — every kick drum, every synth sweep, every bass drop triggers a visual response in real time. The visuals aren't just pretty. They're alive, and they're locked to the music.
Powered by the legendary ProjectM engine and the Milkdrop preset library — thousands of visualizations tuned over decades to respond to music in ways that feel nothing short of magical.
Log in, paste your stream URL, choose your visual preset, pick your channel, and go live. A real-time preview shows you exactly what your audience will see before you push it to the venue screens.
Your in-world media prims get a simple group-only touch menu that lets you or your DJs select Channel 1 or Channel 2 — setting the entire parcel's visual backdrop in seconds.
BEAT is purpose-built for OpenSimulator and compatible virtual world platforms. The output is a clean, video-only WebM stream delivered via your dedicated Icecast channel — the same format your venue media prims already understand.
No fiddling with codecs. No compatibility headaches. Plug the stream URL into your parcel media settings and you're done. The in-world LSL touch menu handles channel switching automatically for group members.
// Why You Need BEAT
Every DJ set deserves a visual experience. Here's why BEAT is the tool you didn't know was missing from your events workflow.
Forget dedicated PCs, OBS setups, screen capture cards. BEAT runs entirely in the cloud. Your DJ opens a browser, pastes a URL, hits GO.
Not a looping video. Not a pre-rendered set. The visuals respond to the actual audio in real time — every beat, every frequency, every moment of the performance.
DJs can manage their own visual channel from the dashboard. No waiting on a tech operator. No miscommunication. They own their show start to finish.
BEAT isn't locked to one virtual world. Any OpenSim-compatible grid with parcel media support can receive a BEAT stream. Your account travels with you.
Thousands of Milkdrop presets spanning fractals, morphs, waveforms, and fluid dynamics — each one tuned over decades to respond beautifully to music.
Once your parcel media URL is pointed at your BEAT channel, the in-world experience is automatic. Your DJs just fire it up from the dashboard each show.
// How It Works
The technical complexity lives on our servers. Your experience is five simple steps.
Access your account at app.onbeat.video from any browser. Your channels, preset library, and stream history are waiting.
Drop in the Icecast or Shoutcast URL for the DJ's audio stream. BEAT connects and begins listening — extracting the audio pulse for visual generation. No audio is captured or retransmitted.
Browse the Milkdrop preset library, preview visualizations live, and choose the aesthetic that fits the set — morphs, fractals, waveforms, fluid dynamics and more.
Pick Channel 1 or Channel 2, verify your preview, and press GO. BEAT spins up your dedicated stream on stream.onbeat.video and the visuals go live instantly.
Group members touch the venue's media prim, select the active channel, and the entire parcel updates to display the live reactive visuals. The audience sees the show.
