Resolume Forum

hi all
first post on this forum this is to help any one wanting to sync visuals to cdjs

i was looking for months for a solution on syncing visuals to music with the dj playing on cdjs i have been using resolume for number of years for primarily visuals only but always seen shows with the likes of eyesupply and comixs work there magic and have the shows synced up
but i noticed few months ago pioneer released a live dj/video version of their rekordbox dj and also it links to the cdjs since then i always wondered if possible to take video from it and put it in to resolume so did it and used a source called syphon its take the output feed and inputs it into resolume
i took a short video to show it in action
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQZKzWS1j68

So the video sources are Resolume and the CDJ's are controlling the clips bpm, start and stop, and sync'ing? or are you sending video from Resolume to the CDJ's and have DJ control everything?

Have been trying to find a way to sync the CDJ's BPM and drops to Resolume without SMPTE as most artists don't use that and I'm just a house VJ.

the video is coming out of rekordbox as it links to the cdjs the dj controls whats on rekordbox dj as its like serato or trakor but with video for example a song that has been made into a music video like a mp4 can be played like a its just a audio file and dj also can free style with other music as you would normal do in rekordbox

but the main bit is the video it sends off TO resolume as an input in the sources and then in resolume you will take this input as its just a normal input feed and push it out to displays

theres no sync with resolume just rekordbox is talking to cdjs
i hope to test this out fully in the next week but i know were your coming from SMPTE i know many djs dont use it
but hope this helps a bit in finding a solution

Makes sense. Thank you for the clarification.

hey arvol,
im trying to do something like this in 2021, could you explain to me what on earth is going on?
Is video automatically being played from rekordbox?
How is this video set up beforehand?
