Hi all,
I am currently a Quickshow user but am currently looking into upgrading to a Beyond system. A feature that I am looking for in some current projects is the ability to trace live video and output the resulting trace as a laser graphic.
The workflow I am considering would be roughly as follows:
>Video plays in Resolume
>Send to a layer that simplifies the image (edge detection)
>Output this layer to beyond
>Beyond traces the image in real time (with as little latency as possible)
>Beyond outputs the image to the projector via FB4
My questions are:
1 - Is this possible/could it be implemented in future versions if not?
2 - If this is possible, could a protocol like Spout be used to route video directly into Beyond in software?
I've had a dig through the documentation but can only find reference to tracing input from webcam and Kinect. Ordinarily I would try and work this out through experimentation, but I would rather get some opinions on how this might work before I go and buy the software.
Cheers,
Matt Dunford
