Resolume Forum

Hello . I recently have purchased 4 PS3 Eye Cams. They go into a simple jitter patch which lets me make them full screen, or split 4 ways, thats it. I want to now combine this with all the awesome stuff I do in R3. I have no hardware AV mixer.

Can I take resolume's output and mix it into jitter with my live feeds?

Even more ideal would be convert the jitter output, from another computer, into resolume. Does a DVI to usb or firewire adapter exist that would let jitter's video output on the other computer "look" like a camera that r3 would accept? Thanks!

When running Resolume and Jitter on the same computer it's not possible to get the Jitter output into Resolume or vice versa.

But getting the output from another computer into Resolume is easy and fast with for instance a Blackmagic intensity Pro Capture card.

Vade (Anton Marini, http://abstrakt.vade.info/) wrote some software that captures a segment of the screen, and presents it as a virtual webcam. He used it to capture the output of a Processing sketch and feed it into VDMX. The code is somewhere on his site, you'll have to do some digging.

The same general principle might work to capture the Resolume output window, and show it as a webcam in Jitter.

The issue you might run into is that, apparently, the Resolume output window name is generated dynamically, and is not always the same - it seems to be JUCE + a string of numbers. Vade's utility relies on a static window name. (Incidentally, Max v5 uses JUCE as well, and I think Ableton Live also.)

I've had reasonably good results feeding the output of Resolume 2.41 into another computer via a USB video digitizer. This lets you stream the output via Skype or other tools. Resolution is low, but depending on circumstances, may not be an issue. Jitter is not great at HD capture in any case...
