PS3 eye ti syphon, multiple ps3 eye

Skulpture

Brill; running with just one camera and on 10.7.5.

One question; what do the Syphon streams show up as? i.e; what do I need to type into my Syphon Client?

Thanks.

Fred

It should be the app name as the app name and then "Camera x Output" where x is the camera number (1 if you only have one). I could be wrong about spaces but I think this is right. Just check with the simple client from syphon to be sure.
Also to save resources click the draw cams button to off so there is no preview once you have everything going.

Hi, Thanks.

Thanks

Fred

The top right corner of my app will tell you the real PS3eye frame-rate. I will look into getting a real comprehensive list of frame-rates and sizes, however your actual performance will depend on your computer and what else you are doing with it. My app will always try to gram at the target frame-rate. Somethings however are out of my control. I think, but am not sure that syphon will try and update the texture as often as possible. As opposed to really drawing a frame where I can specify the real refresh rate, syphon seems to go as fast as it can all the time ( I only update frames as per the macam ps3eye rate). Again it needs a little exploration. Generally though 120fps is the max and achievable with a lower resolution and less cameras.

This worked fine on Friday and now wont open today; just crashes on every icon click.

I will look into it a bit more - might be my machine.

Fred

Check your mySettings.xml, a bad value will make it crash.

All sorted now; my fault. I hadnt copied the bin folder and all its contents across properly.

Syphon is also working great.

Thanks Fred!

Here is a list fo supported rates and resolutions

320×240 @ 15, 30, 60, 75, 100, 125 fps and 640×480 @ 15, 30, 40, 50, 60 fps

Syphon is working perfectly, but how to use ps3 eye in skype and facetime on 10.8.2???

I'm currently trying to get this little app to work in Yosemite and all I get is a grey screen. Has anyone gotten it to work?

Any other ways of getting the Ps3eye into Isadora 2.0?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi, I just a quick look ( I only moved to 10.10 a few days ago). I think I can get it working again for 10.10 - I am only having trouble with the on screen controls. I can get you an OSC Control only version if that is enough.

CraigAlfredson

That would be great @Fred

Fred

Ok here is a quick and dirty solution it has problems but I dont think I will have time to make a better solution for a few weeks- here goes.

You will not see anything at first, my GUI tools a broken and I need to repair them, the initial values are all invalid, but the OSC values all work and can fix it, this means you will not see anything until you set some settings via OSC- you will need to do this for every camera (contrast is the one that will bring an image).

The GUI stuff is there but not saving or reloading- I need to fix this for other projects so I will sort it out. In the meantime I hope this helps you out.
