Resolume Forum

Hello,

So I just secured a VJ residency that is unique. They have a DJ that will be spinning some music videos. I will fill in the rest.

Currently I have a 3 screen composition configuration and was hoping to get an input from the music video DJ. Is there a USB3.0 ingest device that will work with Resolume on the new macbook pro? (my thunderbolt ports are being used for the multscreen output). I am considering the BlackMagic Intensityshuttle for usb3.0. Does that work with Resolume?

I am concerned there will be a delay if I ingest the music video feed. Is anyone getting a live music video feed into resolume and mixing it in their sets?

thanks so much for the insights!

There will always be some sort of delay when capturing a source using blackmagic cards. It usually isn't too bad though, just a few frames when going over thunderbolt in my experience.

As far as your USB 3.0 dilemma; from what I have read on the Blackmagic forums it seems that the Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt is OSX ONLY and the Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 is Windows ONLY. This is a limitation of the drivers Blackmagic has made available and might possibly change in the future. Source: http://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewt ... f=18&t=197

Are your three outputs unique or could you DA the signal from one? Perhaps you could use a dualhead on one of the thunderbolt ports leaving the other free for thunderbolt capture. No firsthand experience with that setup however sorry.

Oh wow, thanks for the reply! That is really a shame about USB3.0 not working on the mac.

I think I have a solution for the delay. Luckily the DJ uses the new version of Serato, and it has a video delay compensation feature. I'll be able to offset their signal to remain in sync after it is ingested into my system. Tat is the plan anyhow.

Now I just need to get the signal into Resolume on my mac. Are there any other input devices on the market that work with USB? Worst case scenerio I will use my triplehead card again to free up a thunderbolt port, but I really wanted to leave that out so I could pack less when going to a gig!

Any ideas for another video ingest device for the mac?

thanks!
