I don't have any experience with this stuff at all, and I'm not sure I'm even beginning to do this right.
I'm trying to output realtime video from a sony dv camera through firewire... I've been reading through the other posts, but not really finding the kind of basic help i'm looking for.
The script I've got now looks like this:
|Bang|
|gemhead|
|Driver 1(
|pix_video|
|pix_draw|
and umm... nothing seems to happen, so obviously i'm not doing this right. I'm using the Dyne-Bolic live cd version 1.4 which has pd v. 0.37.4
Is there anything in particular I need to do to enable firewire? Any tutorials anywhere that might help me be less of a newb?
hi jon,
something like this should work:
gemhead | pix_video | pix_texture | pix_rectangle
In your patch, you convert the gemlist that the gemhead sends out every 50 ms (and that gem needs to actually render something) to the message "Driver 1". I'm not familiar with the pix_video on linux, but you probably need to send this message only once to pix_video:
gemhead | | |driver 1( |/ pix_video | pix_texture | rectangle
hope this helps, thoralf.

...no prob, we all start somewhere...
...documentation can always be improved, but really, this is all
covered in the existing helpfiles (specifically "help/pix_video.pd")
which should have come with the gem archive...I'm not familiar with
the Dyne-Bolic live cd's layout, but I would hope that it would have
included the help file abstractions and the examples, of which the
04.video directory will be helpful for you...
good luck, james
