Showing content from web browser in Resolume?

Post by gpvillamil »

So we have a 5 projector setup in a room (3 walls, floor and ceiling) which we use for immersive presentations.

We're using Resolume Arena 5 to manage the mapping (the room is small so the angles are aggressive) and edge blending.

For Resolume-based shows and presentations, it works great. However, there is a lot of interest in being able to project content from other apps through the Resolume mapping, eg bring up a web page in a browser.

Is there any good way of doing this? I'm thinking perhaps through Spout or Syphon?

Alternatively - is there a good hardware based keystoning/edge blending solution?

Under MacOS i'd definitely take a look at Syphoner.

I'd look at capture card options, you can then manage the content externally and load the capture card wherever you want to in the composition. I use this to bring in "tweetwall" type content along with cameras and Powerpoint content.

Thank you, this worked extremely well. We added a Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder to our rig, and presenters connect their laptop to it just as if it was a projector.
