I'm going to work on a Mac Pro with MacOsX.6.7 and the latest stable Pd-extended 0.42.5. I would like to connect four PS3 Eye on this computer and use GEM with pix_video to read these four devices in four instance of Pd (=> one camera per instance of pd). I will use Macam driver (or something else ?) Is it easy to get each camera working in the same time on this system ? Do you have experience in this area ?
My experience with just one cam on OSX and Pd-extended 42 was that object creation order mattered because each [pix_video] object automatically opens the first available camera AND the "device 1" method didn't work. So, to access only the 2nd camera, I had to create two objects and only use the 2nd one.
using 4 [pix_video] objects for 4 cameras may work, but they will be assigned by creation order.
