Hi Achim

I was hoping you'd make a recommendation. Was thinking of trying BonixTV before I roll my own basic vision mixer in QC Editor anyhow so will look at that pipeline, is there anything on your site about using BonixTV with Syphon and CamTwist?

Soundflower ✔ check ;-)

Hi Lee

I forgot you're _the_ QC streaming enthusiast! You made a list of streaming solutions that might provides alternatives to Ustream at one time didn't you? At time had no interest in streaming but it's just come up for a NGO I do design for and also for other potential projects… love a summary from someone who's been there already.

Hi,

since it is very hard to implement this virtual camera, we decided to recommend using CamTwist in order to stream content for BoinxTV at this time. It turns out, that in combination with Syphon and SoundFlower this works very well for our customers.

best,

Hi Alastair,

It appears that you are inquiring how to turn any given application
into having the capability of being it's own virtual camera. All the
stand-alone virtual camera applications which George mentioned rely on
a specialized QuickTime component, so it's likely that's what would
need to be developed and then integrated directly into each app in
question in order for those apps to appear as cam sources to broadcast
hosts such as Ustream. It would be for others to say whether or not
that's do-able. I'm guessing however that the stand-alone virtual cams
are probably the most reasonable recourse.

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.
