Subject: Qlab video out on Syphon server

Hi,

for who works with QLab and already knows what Syphon is, I've built a tool
that let you send your QLab video output to a Syphon server for further
processing.
It draws on a framebuffer residing in CPU memory, so maybe this is not a
great solution for HD video or heavy video processing, but it's ok for
normal work.

Here it is:

Hope it helps, would love your feedback.

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

that is really cool, but...
I can grab the screen output and put it in syphon.
I dont see the syphon "virtual" screen show up in qlab?
should it?
can you explain a bit more how this functions, or possible uses that you see for it?

grazie,

Sander

Sorry, I figured it out.
I always forget to check the bar on the top of the screen.

when I switched screens with Qlab active I had a full system crash though...
but for the rest it works like a charm!
Finally! Jack/soundflower for video is here!

Subject: Re: [QLab] Qlab video out on Syphon server

Ok, I was asked again how does it work, so I suppose it is better to write
a little how to..

Download and install Syphon virtual screen :) Reboot. You should find the
Syphon virtual screen icon in the status bar (on the left of the system
clock).

Through the application menu you can enable/disable the fake additional
monitor AND the syphon server. They should both be enabled as default, so
you should also find a fake additional monitor already active in your
system (check in preferences). You can use this extra monitor as the main
video out in qlab (qlab-workspace

preferences-drag "screen1" to the fake display). When using this extra
monitor, QLab video output is piped to a Syphon server and accessible in
other Syphon-enabled applications (MadMapper, Quartz Composer … check
syphon.v002.info for a list)

Again: since the frame buffer reside in system RAM and not in GPU RAM this
is not the best solution for everyday Syphon work: every frame has to be
uploaded to the GPU RAM to be published on a syphon server, and this is a
(relatively) slow operation. But still it can be helpful to hijack an
application video output that is not Syphon-enabled. As for now, this is
the only solution with QLab, while we wait for a real support in the
application.

When you aren't using them, I suggest to disable virtual device and syphon
server  to avoid CPU extra work.

Enjoy!

Andrea

Hi Benedict,
is it a Mac Pro or a Mac Book Pro? I experienced some issues with notebooks mounting integrated and discrete video cards. If this is the case, actually there is no way to fix it, but there is a workaround: you can enable the virtual device only and leave the syphon server disabled. This will let you use a custom composer in QLab that outputs your video on the virtual screen AND in a Syphon server. (if SVS crashes when you launch it, try to keep "alt" key pressed when launching and it will open with device and syphon server disabled. Now you can disable the "Enable syphon server at startup" preference in options panel.)
Ciao

Any way to use Syphon to show preview on a local network?

My clients use a webinterface to power Qlab. They use the webinterface on
their own computers which sends Applescript commands to Qlab.
This works great, but it would be nice if I can give a preview in the
browser of the Qlab output.

I've tried this using several VNC servers and clients, but unfortunately I
haven't found a working combination (either no multi-monitor function or
OSX authentication).

Hi Andrea, trying to get this up and running.  I downloaded and installed

Thanks a bunch.  I love the idea, can't wait to try it out!

Hi, thanks for the response.  I'm still having issues getting this

package is actually putting anything in the /Application folder.  I deleted
my previous install and tried a fresh one from the new link.  Nothing ever
shows up in Applications.

Thanks a bunch,

The installer is trying to update your old .app respecting the location you put it in, so it depends on where did you copy/execute it previously. Try to install again and open the install log (cmd-L), select "see all" and search for a row saying "/Applications/Syphon Virtual Screen. app relocated to…"
Good luck and happy video output hijacking!

Hi Andrea,

Loving the application thank you. I have just found that you can output the
syphon virtual screen in a nice window using Syphon Recorder
http://syphon.v002.info/recorder/. I suppose if you wanted to you could
even record it! Very useful for previewing cues without having to attach a
separate monitor to your laptop.

Much appreciated

Fergus

Hi,

I have Installed Syphon Virtual Screen on my MacBook Pro OSX 10.7.4.  I
have set Qlab to use the virtual screen for output. All video cues are
assigned to the virtual screen. I have set up a syphon layer in Millumin
but when I click Enable Syphon Server nothing happens. Nothing shows in
Millunim and the menu item in SVS still says Enable Syphon Server as
opposed to Disable.

I have downloaded the Simple Syphon Server and Simple Syphon Client and
they work fine.

Anyone have any Ideas as to why I can't Enable Syphon Server?

Thanks

Well, this happened to me too on a MBP, once, but still I can't figure out why it happens and what is it due to.
I'm not sure, but it seems related to SVS being badly installed. In that case I repaired permissions and everything went ok.
Try repairing permissions, if it doesn't work try to reinstall last version of SVS: https://rapidshare.com/files/3975409114/SyphonVirtualScreen.pkg
Please report if everything goes ok!
