Resolume Forum

Hi everyone,

So basically we're going to do a 3D mapping show and a keynote conference on a 18*5 meters surface.

Is there a way to include a keynote program that works using a remote control into resolume Arena 4? like Powerpoint Office using Arena output or so?

I used to make the slides in After effects, and open Powerpoint showing only numbers and then I have to switch between play and pause everytime the lecturer click the remote, but it's pretty confusing and you can get a couple of misses .. It's not the best thing to do, but it gets the job done

Anyway if there's anyway to do it easier I would be so pleased to hear from you, this event is very important for us

Thank you

There are a 2 main ways in my mind.

Do you need to "map" the presentation or is the presetation "normal" viewed

Case without mapping :
Switcher / Scaler beetween 2 laptops ( resolume & ppt)

Case with mapping :
2cnd Laptop & Capture Card

If your client dont have the budget for these things. Talk to him about priority and the cost of technical support =)

Hi, the keynote should be mapped, can you please give me more details or a simple explanation for the capture card? how does it actually works? knowing that I will be projecting using x2 GTX Titan black on SLI.

Be mindful as well that you if you have video playback with audio from the 2nd laptop you will have to delay that audio to sync up with the image on the screen....best to have a digital mixing board or audio delay software.

If you were to run keynote on the same computer as Resolume, could you not "Syphoned" the actual presentation into Resolume as an active window? You'd still retain the use of the clicker etc as well ?

But how would presentation mode work with syphon?

I imagine going into presentation mode while Resolume has its full screen overlay going could cause some issues.

Could load Keynote on an iPad and Airplay it to your server then syphon/spout it from there. You can use AirServer to receive on PC if you need to.

Not familiar with Keynote in all honesty, however if you can step through a presentation in a windowed mode, I'd zoom in onto it via syphoner and route it that way.

If you want to do it right, you'll need a second computer and a capture card (or two) on your Resolume rig to ingest the presentation (and the notes). One of the main advantages of Keynote is that you can manage 2 additional screens in presenter mode so you can use one for the presentation and one for speaker notes.

With a capture Card you can get the output from a laptop into another laptop (resolume) and use it there as source. Like a webcam.

You ll find tons of topics for different capture cards in the forum, blackmagic intesity shuttle & magwell are the ones mentioned very often.

And dont forget the smart thing oaktown said about delay when your keynote have audio inside.
Thanks for that, i would have forgot it

Thank you, you've been really helpful to me! I've done some tests using the Blackmagic intensity as a source and everything went exactly as I wanted.

VIVA RESOLUME!
