How to access another software through Isadora during a show

[raha]

Hi there,

During a show, I'd like to have a "cue" that smoothly fades to a screen which then shows a different software (Sibelius...used for scoring music) on the screen, which I can work in real-time. 

In other words, I'd like the audience to see the work I'm doing in Sibelius live, in the middle of an Isadora show. But I don't want them to see me switch between Applications...I'd prefer a smooth fade. Is this possible?

Thank you.

You can try using syphon screen grabber to capture sibelius (or a spout equivalent on PC) and then a Isadora can fade between them, or you can use two machines and a video mixer, or you can use a second machine to run sibelius and capture device in Isadora, then sibelius will come in as a live input. You may be able to do the last option with a single computer if you have enough outputs and processing power.

On Mac Syphoner and then Syphon receiver in Isadora

^ What they said.

Apart from hardware video mixers this is the only way to go about it inside software.
