How to input a video stream from an iphone using the Ip
-
Airbeam pro worked ok for me but we had issues with it locking up or stuttering if the camera moved to quick. We also wanted to send vision from other apps so went with mirroring an ipad to Apple TV then captured the hdmi out of appleTV the apps looked great but we had to make sure camera was not active when generally carrying it around as it also seemed to struggle with the throughput and result in the appleTV or iPad hanging for several seconds.( we were obviously not projecting this random vision but it would be bad to click back to ipad vision if it was still suck trying to sort it's self out). I would be interested to hear if anyone else had images with their set ups just test shaking the camera or moving your hand fast very close to the camera and seeing if this causes an issue.

IPcamera + SyphoneNetCamera, reasonable results with iPad and iPhone, for free, :) not to forget about Orientator from Boinx, camera input over hdmi cable or Airplay, sensor data over wifi, have to try it out!! Mac OSX 10.8 IsadoraCore 1.3…

From the Boinx Orientator website:
"One More Thing": Since BoinxTV Layers are simply Quartz Compositions, the receiver of the LibOrientator system has been designed as a Quartz Composer Plugin. If you are working with Quartz Composer, you can use this to create your own application using the sensor data of an iPhone or iPad. Contact us if you are interested. -
I have been using Pocket Cam Pro on my iphone into Isadora. Im not sure how it stacks up against the others in terms of quality, resolution, price, etc but I do know that it works and Isadora sees it as a camera input so you dont need to use syphon or any extra systems to input it. I think it is like $5 from the Apple App store.

Dear Josharoo4,
Does it work with 10.7 or 10.8? That's the problem with Epccoam -- it doesn't work with anything past 10.6Best Wishes,Mark -
I had Epoccam working with Isadora the other day in OSX 10.7.5.
-
It worked for me on 10.8....
-
not working for me on 10.8.4
-
not working for me either
-
after upgrading to 10.7.5 stopped working
but although some times it also gives me a green screen in Izzy, most of the times it supplies to Isadora the blue laptop/phone screen.... and sometimes in the phone it goes to black as if it had sensed something...
could it be anything with port 5055? what is it anyway?? -
We have developed an iOS app that streams video to a custom Isadora actor - the reason for it was to be able to have multiple wireless video streams simultaneously from multiple iPods. While it is going to take a hit on video quality when multiple streams are active, what it does allow is for the iPods to be configured as blob tracking sources that only need a lower resolution. We have used the app in a show that has two iPods mounted in breast plates giving performer POV for live projection and another iPod above part of the stage as a blob tracking source. This is a Mac only set of tools at present but we would like to make it available to the community at some point. Other than this we have used iWebcamera for single video streams. A concern is setting up the wireless bandwidth to accommodated an uninterrupted video stream. Does anyone have a suggestion or specification for a strong wireless system?

Hello all,
I have used Airplay Server to mirror my iphone/ipod onto my MacBook Pro laptop. Airplay publishes the mirrored video as a syphon chanel. So now I can use any app that provides a clean view of the camera input OR mirror any other app or whatnot I can get on the phone screen into Isadora. It is actively kept up to date and works with 10.8I have found this to be a flexible and high quality solution.-Alex -
EpocCam works for me on 10.9.5 streaming from Android. I downloaded EpocCam Pro from the Kinoni website which enables syphon output from up to four cameras. The android app seems like it doesn't work (lots of complaints about black screens), but a few double taps on the screen where the flip button would appear (bottom of the screen when holding phone vertically) seems to get the camera up and running. I don't know if this is the best option, but it is cross-platform and does still work with more recent OS.

Hi Everyone, I am starting work on a new troika tutorial for this topic, to accompany public release of 2.0
If anyone has new information to share about latest iOS video streaming apps and options, please repost here now.@Bonemap How did it go with your custom solution? You said you might be willing to share? Feel free to message me off post.
Thank you!

Yes, happy to discuss and share. The iOS app links to the Isadora actor using bonjour. The issue is the cost of publishing the iOS app on the App Store to make it available. But we can work through this to see if it is viable to publish etc Regards Russell Bonemap

@bonemap Can you put it on github so we can compile and push it to devices with our own developer accounts?

I started to use PocketCam application lately in addition to syphon server...
