If we only need a laptop and some I/O gear for a small show, there's no need to chase away a client who can't afford our truck (with "proper hardware and people") because we have nothing else to offer them.īut no, I don't just think you wave a magic video wand to make this stuff happen. The reason I asked my stupid question is that I'm interested in the potential of this software, and also interested in being able to provide small packages for clients that don't have budgets to rent out "proper hardware and people". I currently work for a company that has multiple mobile units, and I'm usually using professional switchers/equipment/people for all our live events. Anyways, I've been directing/producing live television for over 20 years, since the days of 3/4" tape and I know what the "industry standards" are. I'm well aware of what's usually needed for live camera work, but thanks for the totally useless (and patronizing) reply to my question.you must be great fun at parties. Usually there is a operator who does live mixing on dedicated hardware before you add effects(on Modul8 or other). Hire proper hardware and people if you are serious.

The more powerful the computer the better and I would say that in all likeliness you'll need a MacPro with multiple graphics cards to really get real time output properly.Īlso currently MadMapper doesn't support multiple outputs so unless you use a TH2Go/Datapath your stuck with only 1 output anyway. Your desired 4x inputs + 3x outputs might work on spec'd MacPro or Hackintosh but probably won't cut it on a MBP. I have recently built a new hackintosh with a decent GTX580 gpu and can capture a single 1080P25 feed into Resolume, layer 2 clips on top and output 1080 and have realtime output. Using a MacMini i7 capturing in HD-SDI via Quartz and then running into MadMapper 720P50 the delay was minimal, but when running it through Modul8 it ended up causing a 1-2 sec delay. As a result you'll need to look at a triplehead2Go or Datapath X4 to get multiple outputs.īased on my experiments you'll need to limit the amount of processing you're doing to keep camera sync.
