Hello,
some questions were aroused today
by my video-artist friend and, well,
through the pd list because they are of a general
interest :
a/ we noticed that a frame is able to load a
video AND
separate images at the same time,
but images are always ON TOP of the
video,
the only way of removing them is to send
a "clear" message to the frame
and this makes you loose all the loaded
images.
can we hope that they will behave as layers
one day
so that we could show an image or the video
??
it could be a switch mode or a transparency
effect
( would prefer the later, of course ).
b/ is there a way that a frame could be sent
to a video specific card like a Miro DC30
??
c/ as i'm not hopping a positive answer to point
b/
( I'm quite ignorant of Direct X but I know it's
not open tech,
so it must be a tough matter to redirect output
),
we'd be grateful if there would be a video
recording object one day.
The goal of points b/ and c/ is to record the work
you do in real-time.
Thanks for clarifications.
