Hi Paprikamix,
It is a long time since I tested this app and I did not create it, i just found it on Apple’s developer site. So I don’t have any insight into why it does not work under Lion, sorry.

hey Udart,

This great app quartzcomposer live doesn ‘t run on Lion. Quartz on Lion will not be able anymore to use PowerPc applications. Is it difficult for you to build it for intel-version?

Little tip on second monitor streaming… if you change your second monitor into (primary-) main-screen in apple>preferences>displays. your full screen mode in vj-programs is on your laptop and v0002.screen.capture is happy

tnx a lot, nice work btw !

This is so useful! Thank you!!!
I just got this working the first time with no problems on the following system.

Source: iMac OS 10.5.8 (Running PD, and some circuit bending attached to an Arduino)
Receiving: Mac Pro OS 10.6, processing video with IsadoraCore

I had some latency issues, but everything seems to be within a half second or so.

Hi Udart!
Ujin mean: Main mix of Modul8_1(macbookPro_1) —>firewire—> Capture in Modul8_2(macbookPro_2) —> MainMix
Maybe you know, how i may declare Modul8 output MainMix to IEEE1394?
Thank_U!

Hi Ujin, sorry, but I don’t understand your question. Could you try and explain in another way?

Thanks – awesome tutorial.
How? May i output video stream from my modul8 to another machine which captured this DV stream by modul8?

Hey~
I was able to give and take dv screen capture to between two macs by connect wires into Firewire Hub. So didn’t need to use way around capturing.
I can see each mac’s screen capture on another mac’s Quicktime input.

However, I can’t see it in the Jitter’s jit.qt.grab input..
I can see two Firewire selection on the input list, but I don’t see the screen when I select it.
Actually, It didn’t showed on Jitter from one side video transmission.

Is there a reason that firewire ‘fake’ dv input’s video signal cannot read on Jitter’s grab?

thank you!

I see what you mean. I haven’t tested this (I haven’t really used this DV solution i a year), so I can only say that you should try and see. I do have my doubts though. I am afraid it won’t be possible. But try it.

Hello.
thanks for the tutorial.

I will use mac mini for sending captured video to another mac mini which has one firewire port, one mini-dvi, one minidisplayport.
And I need to send and receive the different real time video signal at the same time from each computer. Each mini display port will be used for final output that processed with the video from another mac.

So will this work in a way with mac mini’s Mini-DVI as a video output and Firewire as a video input?
so I can make a circuit to send and receive at the same time.

thanks!

Hi WATCH. As you probably read I have only pieced together this solution from existing components, so I don’t really have a solution for those limitations. But thanks for pointing it out so that others can have this info.
