The CG-8 is the world’s first instrument that lets you “perform images” in real time.

This leaflet will explain the basic concepts of the CG-8 in just five minutes.

These are pictures (JPEG images) with an effect

(movement) applied.

These are pictures (PNG logos) with an effect

(movement) applied.
