HowTo Use vvvv with EyesWeb

How to connect EyesWeb with vvvv?

Attached is a example patch made by Kiilo
Some hints:

  • start EyesWeb BEFORE vvvv, the patch in EyesWeb does not start otherwise.
  • if you patch your own be shure not to put an invisible cr into the adress pin. (You can do so by clicking somewhere in the patch.)
  • make sure that the right inlet of the serversocket node is set to "discard" and the protocol inlet to 1.0 (UDP)

How to use one camera signal in EyesWeb and vvvv simulataneously?

If you run eyesweb and VVVV on seperate machines (what most of the time is the way to go, because eyesweb eats a lot of CPU-performance) you could use simple cheap analog framegrabber cards with a Bt848 / Bt849 / Bt878 & Bt879 Chipset in both machines and a normal videocamera.
With this setup you can simply feed the videosignal into both systems without having to worry about software at all.
Other advantages of this solution are that you do not have to worry about long usb-cableruns, you are very flexible in choosing the right camera and cameralens for your project/installation and usually the framegrabbercards are much faster than webcams or firewire-cameras.

For best performance (especially in eyesweb) I made very good experiences using the universal Bt848 / Bt849 / Bt878 & Bt879 driver available athttp://btwincap.sourceforge.net/ instead of the original driver supplied with the card.

How to use one camera signal in EyesWeb and vvvv simulataneously? (part 2)

I had to run EyesWeb and vvvv on the same PC in an exhibition just now, and managed to feed the video signal to both using the free tool SplitCamera:

This worked with my Pinnacle card, but not with FireWire, so YMMV.
