GEM renders all of the geometry on the graphics card, so it has to be read back to the CPU memory first which is a slow process.  Also, I do not know of any standard to share frames of video between applications.  You will surely get much better performance from two machines running one app each and using a video mixer or switcher to change between them.

Hello List,

Is it possible to export the gemwin to other software in real-time. It seems
to there are other softwares that can screen record and send this on such as
Softcam, this uses up too much CPU and is highhly unstable. I just need
another programme on the same machine to accept gem's output as an input..

Is it possible to turn it into a capture driver. If this was so the other
software might recognise it.
I need to be able to run Pd through another resolume so that in a live
environment I can jump between one setup and the other without effecting the
2nd display's output.

I am running on WinXP and Pd extended 38.2.

Thanks a lot.
