#Echofx usbvision serial number how to#
It works, but I don’t know how to get control over the features listed above. I just called 4 different ofVideGrabber, with 2 of them using device 5. While writing this I was trying a few things and after all this bla bla, I finally got all 4 cameras working in OF. After that you get total control over the camera via the same dialog box. You need to get into the quicktime settings of the camera via a dialog message and select the input for the whole image to appear. When plugged in, the GEM output for each camera is only a 50x50px square selection of the whole image. GEM’s recognition of the cameras is not immediate though. I suppose this is logical since there is only one device recognized where 2 cameras are connected, but I’m intrigued as to why GEM can separate the 2 inputs without any extra libraries. However, when I try this setup in OF I get the isight and the DV recognized, but the fire-i (device 5) outputs both cameras images mixed up and everything becomes jerky and superslow. These are the same listed in Openframeworks by “void listDevices() ”Īttempting to setup device - IIDC FireWire VideoĪs far as I know GEM uses quicktime for all video in the same manner that OF does, so I would think it wouldn’t be a problem to implement the same setup in OF. GEM’s devices listed are: 0 for DV, 5 for IIDC (fire-i) and 6 for USB (isight).

In a GEM patch all 3 are recognized along with the isight. I currently have the 2 fire-i and a DV firewire connected in daisy chain to the fw400 input on my laptop (DV -> fire-i -> fire-i -mbpro). I’m quite new to openframeworks and I do most of my work in puredata and GEM. Reading this post I thought I should comment on my experience so far. Hi, I recently bought 2 fire-i board color cameras. Thanks for all you suggestions, I’ll let you know how I Get on The DVI-output-version of this kit looks really nice but its apparently still in development and will be ready later this year. Plus of course I’ll then need 3 digitizing boxes for the video, so costs start to escalate.Īs for the ovation-quad, it comes in at a price of £1250 so way out of my price range. Adding USB 2.0 expansion cards can increase the number of devices that can run simultaneously, and the frame sizes at which they can operate.Ī Mac Book Pro which Im using comes as standard with only 2 USB ports so I’d need to get an expansion card too, its not clear whether this would offer me 3 captures at higher resolution. Note that a stock machine with no additional USB 2.0 PCI cards can run only two devices simultaneously, and one of those must be at 320 x 240.

to enable 3 devices, 3 serial numbers must be purchased.

more than one device can be plugged in and used at the same time… Note that one serial number per device will be required, i.e.

If I was going for a higher resolution using a Mac Book Pro, one option would appear to be to use 3 copies of the VideoGlide software at $29 a pop (thanks nick for suggestion)įrom EchoFX site :- The VideoGlide software supports multiple devices, i.e. I would like to consider using high resolution capture at a later date just because it might give my installation more accuracy with facial recognition but one thing at a time. Zach I really like the quad splitter option, at least as the easy cheap option and best place to start prototyping the installation, thanks chris for some suggestions of splitter suppliers.

I think there are a number of ways to go here. I’d love some feedback at this stage from anyone who’s looked into this, Thanks in advance for any help Use openFrameworks to take these 3 feeds and do facial recognition on each of them. I’m using are security cameras and I was intending to use 3 cheap usb capture boxes to digitize them.

I was hoping to not need to install any card interfaces because I’d like to be able to run this off a laptop for now. I see Chris O’Shea has been working on a as an multiple input interface but encountered some significant problems. My question is : Has anyone got any advice on running multiple live video feeds simultaniously into openFrameworks? I may add CHEAPLY! While the earlier version required one computer to do the facial recognition per robot (3 in total), I think judging on the performance of openframeworks that I saw at the workshop, it would be possible to have one computer do face recognition for all 3 robots using a fairly well spec’d machine. The project is basically to rebuild my installation Performative-Ecologies for an exhibition I’m doing later this year. I think its the ideal for my project I’m just starting. I only recently encountered openFrameworks at the London Workshop which was great fun, so thanks to Zach, Theo & Chris.
