Resolume Forum

My dear resolume Experts!

I would like to use some VJing Software in the following scenario: The VJ is on stage and uses a laptop to perform. He gets two live video feeds, one from stage, one from the sound engineers position at his mixer behind the crowd.
I guess it would be the easiest to transmit an analogue video signal wireless from the engineer to stage. I guess as well, that some videocams with simple analogue video outs would be a affordable solution. The signal should be easily transmitted with some generic analogue video transponder, especialy because high end/high res video is not really required. Any Video feed will do.
My question:
What kind of hardware is known to work to get the asumed analogue signal into resolume? Will some generic USB analogue TV Card do? Are there any models that actually work?
Or is this entire proposal wrong? Is there any other option to achieve the described scenario? Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

If signal quality isn't an issue then i would suggest some good web cams. They are very reliable. From my experience, the capture cards with a single input are more reliable. The only devices I have experience with is an older adaptec card with a single rca input (ok quality, but very reliable); the Pinnacle movie box devices that have a firewire, svideo and rca input (very good signal if you can get it working for more than a second); and last is my Pinnacle HD USB Pro Stick (good quality, pretty reliable). I highly suggest configuring the devices before opening up Resolume. Your computer may stall if you change during a performance. Please note that I rarely use capture devices with resolume since i got my V4.

I no longer recommend the Pinnacle pro stick. I'm having alot of problems getting it to work at all with resolume.

Thanks for updating!
