Confiqure Qlab in combination with Madmapper trough Syphon

[Ridder]

Hi There,

Im working on configuring Q-lab so I can send video data directly to Mad-Mapper through Syphon. Managed to get all most everything working. When I start a que in Qlab containing a video file and the required quartz composer file, a Syphon server appears in Mad-Mapper and the video material generated by the que is visible in Mad-Mapper. Succes!

There is one problem. When I start a second que, the video material contained in this que is, as expected, presented at the same screen as first que within qlab. This video data however is not sent to the SyphonServer and thus Madmapper.
I have tried to include the quartz composer script also in the second que but this is no solution. This results in the creation of a second syphon server and by selecting this server in Mad-Mapper I can see the video content of the second que being displayed within Mad-Mapper but this is not very practical. I cant make a separate syphon server and do a mouse click for every separate que. And this prohibits me to make any fades between the que's

Im hoping i'm missing something here and you guys can help me out..!?

I included a wetransfer link to all the files you need to reproduce my setup. And a link with information about Mad-Mapper. An extremely practical little program:

The wetransfer link with the correct quartz composer file and a the latest Mad-Mapper demo installer:

Hope to hear from you soon..!

Kind regards,

did you stop the first cue in qlab?
thats the easiest way to come unstuck, not killing cues.

Thanks for the fast reply, and I very much appreciate the help!
When stopping the Cue and Playing the next one I also need to click the next syphon server in Madmapper. This is making the control of the Video's not that workable.
I found another solution making use of quartz composer. Keep you posted on the progress.

As I don't think QLab lets you apply a QC effect to the final output I'm not sure how it would be possible - so do share if you've found a way - might be useful to other people.

seems like QC is the only way

sadly, the programmers at Qlab have no interest in syphon.

someone should just write a virtual monitor driver that is actually a syphon client. Then any OSX app which lets you choose which monitor to output to would work with syphon.

I got the impression vade was making a screen capture version..
