Ask HN: How do I send video output of a program on one Mac to another Mac?
Apologies if this question is off topic for HN. I am desperate.
There is a plethora of hardware and software solutions for capturing video, sharing desktops and streaming videos to TVs out there. None of those seems to be applicable for my specific problem.
I am posting here in the hope that some creative video minded person might be able to help. (Pointers to better places to ask this question are also appreciated.)
Question:
On my two Macs I would like to send video output (from Resolume Avenue, Pure Data, Processing, whatever) via ethernet to a second machine. Preferably in a way that would allow to use the stream as a video input device in Quartz Composer or Resolume Avenue.
Is there a software to do this?
- kaptain 14y agoCan you be more specific about what you've tried and why it didn't work? Some obvious solutions come to mind but I suspect I don't understand exactly the parameters if the problem.
- jsilence 14y agoI'd like to have a video mixer implemented in puredata on one machine and route that video output via ethernet to a second machine into quartz composer and/or Resolume Avenue. The purpose is a two person VJ setup where the output of one person can be used as input for the second person. Currently digging into pdp_i/pdp_o and trying to somehow pipe a gem chain through pdp to the second machine where I'd pick it up with pd_syphon for usage in any Syphon ready software.

- jsilence 14y agoUnfortunately Syphon does not work over the network and the faq states that no such support is planned. "Alternatively, MaxMSP/Jitter has jit.net.send and jit.net.recieve objects." Hm, don't have MaxMSP/Jitter. Maybe I'll download their trial and experiment.
