Thanks for the leads, George.

How do you envisage one would go about making an application's output appear to the system that it is a camera? Any idea what protocols determine 'this is a camera data-stream'?

If Ustream is looking for a "camera" input, you'd have your app or some QC plugin setup so that it looks like a camera driver to the system.

There are some opensource projects that use macam or fakam to do that (https://github.com/rsodre/ofxFakam , or "Synapse")... I think I've seen some sample code at the ADC that does something like that as well, but I'm not 100% sure, can't recall any project names. I have the impression that the app camtwist has that function, as far as already available apps go. Again, don't use it, so I'm not 100% certain about that.

Hi Rick and list

I'm wondering how you managed to feed a *non-camera* source into Ustream for webcasting. I just created a Ustream free account and it's pretty effortless to get a camera feed broadcasting (using the dropdown Camera menu) but I can't see an obvious way to feed it vision from a live production tool or pre-recorded media.

I'd like broadcast seminars with live audiences by vision switching between: i live camera (speaker) with bottom third overlays (say done with QC),
ii      Skype video feed (when presenter is remote from the live audience)
iii     The presenters PPT/KN slides
iv      Pre-recorded videos
v       Branded ID slides
All while the audio of the speaker streams (whether she is in person or streaming to the seminar via Skype)

So wondering firstly how you are getting the video feed into UStream that includes your post-production pipeline of QC compositions and secondly what live streaming solutions list members have used that would incorporate the sorts of things I'm looking to do here.

Wondering if Syphon could be used in conjunction with some sort of streaming app to get me where I want to be, ie. QC magic + live video + skype?

Another tool I'm considering is Adobe Connect since I've sat-in on quite a few Adobe training seminars and it seems reasonably robust accept for occassional sound drop-outs but they use a 1300 number as backup. Not sure on the production limitations Connect has, I don't recall seeing live video but not sure if it's strictly a screen-cast-only technology (workaround would be to put a video window on the desktop and screen cast it I guess). It can switch broadcast to PDF slides and perform audience polls (Ustream can do polls it would seem).

If you like space, especially Space Shuttle launches, I recommend you check out the QC overlay I did for Spacevidcast:

        http://spacevidcast.com/live/

A few days before launch (the next Shuttle launch is Apr. 29), you can see a real-time countdown displayed across the bottom of the screen.

The composition I created uses a QC plug-in I created that is based off an iPhone app I created called MissionClock (http://bit.ly/missionclock ). It shows countdown holds, real time left to launch, rapidly- updating ascent statistics, and possibly this time, countdown events (if I have time before launch).

The graphics slide in and out, change color, and update automatically based on the current state of the count.

Hey Guys,

For anyone living in the UK, check out Channel 32 on Freeview from 6pm tonight. We've implemented a new playout system developed by Tools On Air which utilises Quartz Compositions to overlay graphics.

I created a few quartz compositions for the channel, they aren't that intense, but do make good use of the ability to pull information from a database via xml imports. It's always nice to see Quartz in the wild! If anyone else on the list has examples of Quartz in the wild I'd love to have a look at it.

Peace,
Charlie
