Resolume Forum

Hi there. I wonder if there is any way for Arena to remember a capture card setting between for example two banks. So that the settings would be:

Bank 1: SDI 25p

Bank 2: HDMI 25p

Bank 3: Component 25p

Right now Arena does not remember the different settings.

Is there a work around. Would love to be able to work with just one capture card, but with different settings on it...


All the best

I'm not sure I understand. Do you have three sources connected to your one-input capture card?

Exactly. And in the best of worlds the settings would be stored in each "capture source".

In the best of worlds, yes. In the real world though, there is only one actual capture source.

You can physically only set your source to use one input, so Resolume has to treat all instances of the source as that one input. So when you switch on one of them, it has to switch on all of them.

This makes sense, because you can never be allowed to play the same source with two different inputs at the same time. Also if you have the clips in different decks it has to follow this logic. You are still using the same capture source in the same session. A clip from a different deck can stay active in a layer even when switching decks.

So the only way to do this, is to switch manually. The upside is that you only have to switch manually on one instance, and Resolume will update all the instances for you.

True! But i really like the idea of tricking a 1280x1440 dual output to be treated as two screens. Like going beyond what the computer believes it is connected to. So if there was a OSC adress to do the switch we could let a que application do it for us (instead of doing it completely manually)

/Ultrastudio4k/SDI/2160/25p 1
/Ultrastudio4k/HDMI/1080/25p 1

All of a sudden we have 3x capture sources in 1, tricking the computer!

It's not available yet but I'm sure it'd be pretty easy to implement.

It's more likely to be something like this though:

• /activeclip/video/connection (Int 0 to A) with A being the maximum number of connections available (HDMI, SDI,....)
  /activeclip/video/format (Int 0 to B) with B being the maximum number of formats available (NTSC, NTSC 23.94,.....)

or

• /layerX/clipY/video/connection (Int 0 to A)
  /layerX/clipY/video/format (Int 0 to B)
