#Vdmx vs resolume movie
it’s not quite ready for yet - it involves a windows pc, amongst other things - but the process works, and i’ve even got a nice align grid and 4x1 to 2x2 pixel map and test movie rolled in there. having just stepped through the process for the guildhall school of music and drama’s purchase of two d-fusers and an X4 for their scenography work, i’ve packaged up and made good the resources necessary. of course, this has all happened since the firmware was commissioned and plans went to the factory, so the retail units don’t ship with this support.

It was a while until we got our hands on one at d-fuse HQ, but we did, and now the d-fuser can work with one too. before even getting to running quad-head, you could take triplehead input, split that to three outputs, and then use the forth to scale that non-standard 12x3 input back to something you could display on a monitor on your desk. still, surprisingly affordable for what you get, which is a 1-in, 4-out dual-link dvi box where each output is completely configurable. it’s a triplehead2go on steroids, coming from the pro-av market rather than gamers. Then in 2011, the datapath X4 was released. it was a direct need for d-fuse’s live shows, along with HD. the audio side has a long way to go: elastic audio, setting bpm from a column trigger, pre-fade / post-fade effect processing.īack in 2009, the d-fuser was conceived to mix ‘triplehead’ dvi. it’s great that’s possible – to the extent i was able to make my own render stack fed by the individual layers in resolume – but not all of it was me being fussy. but, i needed to ‘outboard’ quite a lot of functionality. Turns out, resolume does make this possible, and it’s great to perform from just one software.

i wondered whether there might be a simpler way, now that resolume avenue effectively had ableton’s session view – in which rbn_esc’s basic structure and audio-visual links are laid out – and was built to be an audio-visual software from the ground up. but there was a lot to that integration, and my license of ableton live was long expired.
#Vdmx vs resolume how to
Being asked to revive rbn_esc begged the question: will the software still run, can i even remember how to handle the complexity? it was an amazing milestone back in 2006 going from two laptops linked by midi to running the complete performance off one laptop.
