Hi list,
What is current status of HD video in GEM on Linux? From what I've read in relation to the BlackMagic Intensity cards, it seems there's no working solution. Is this correct?
I've been developing patches in Pd/GEM to mix a webcam video input with SD mpeg files on disk and synchronise video playback with audio. Works OK on my Linux laptop - but I need to upgrade the system to HD (both the live video input and the compressed files on disk) and run it on a more powerful machine.
Can this be done in Linux? Do i need to shift to Mac OS X or PC? I'd prefer to stick with linux, but...
Advice please!
Cheers,
Iain Mott
Gem has handled HD resolution video on Mac OS X since 2004 at least.
I remember seeing two HD videos textured to a cube back then. About
outputting via the Blackmagic card, that's a separate question that I
don't know about.

BlackMagic has an SDK for their Decklink line of cards that works under Linux.
From GEM, you would need to capture the screen, or the pix_texture in question and create an appropriately sized buffer and send that to the card. They have plenty of example applications that do ingest, output, time code, etc, as well as some OpenGL 'screen scraping' to an output buffer app.
Should not be a problem to stay on Linux.
