Michel

With the Epoc Cam HD update that appeard in the ios app store today the "searching network ..." problem seams to be solved.

hm, updated, but still the same "searching network..." in the EpocCam Viewer Syphon, after one minute i get a message on the side: epoc cam hd for ios7 is connected video size 1280 720, but its stays black in the viewer syphon

i'm seeing a green screen in the live capture settings window when selecting epoccam. two days ago when i first installed the drivers the epoccam worked.

i've uninstalled and reinstalled and still a green screen.

Michel

@particlep
That's true, also for me, with the drivers you can download from their website, but did you download the new app from the link he has posted here?

@Michel

i had not.

i have now. all connected up very quickly. seeing the occasional freezing of the stream, not for long and soon back to stream.

i hope the drivers can be sorted out as when i tested the epoccam through isadora's live capture settings i felt that the stream was much more robust.

Just bought it - not just because it's a cool little app but because @Kinoni is developing it and working with us. Thanks Kinoni ;)

My Facetime camera has now stopped working... directly after installing the drivers. Hmmmmm.

crystalhorizon

also my webcam stops working after the install.

Skulpture

I had to shut down and restart - solved it.

I updated the app too, a couple of days ago, hoping it would solve my problems, but it has not. I get a grey screen with the occasional flicker, like static, of an image. Sounds a lot like the green screen thing, above. I'm on Windows 7.

Cheers,

Hugh

Everyone, thanks for all the comments. I was locked down in basement for a week to implement multi-camera support. It is now basically working, some work still to do but now we can export four 720p HD streams to Syphon simultaneously. We had to modify iOS client code for multi-cam support, meaning there will be another iOS "Syphon camera" app available soon. For that we can implement multi-camera, USB-support, OSC messages and other features relevant to Isadora users.

@feinsinn: are you using iPhone 4? That device seems to cause issues with iOS 7\. Surely the app should work on all supported devices, we are currently investigating the issue. Your webcam stopped working after installing the Syphon app or our previous OS X drivers?

@particlep: Did I understand correctly that video stream is more robust through Isadora than our app window? Even if they use the very same source for video.

@Skulpture: Did you install our Syphon app? That is just an ordinary application, hard to see how could it interfere with webcam drivers.

@CitizenJoe: What device / iOS version are you using? As said above we are aware of some iPhone 4 issues. If you have some other device, it could be a different issue.

Skulpture

Hi @Kinoni a quick restart and it was all fine. May not have been related or it was just a fluke.

I have been testing it on and off all week with the Syphon. Very good app and I am going to give it a mention on my blog/website for sure :)

@Kinoni

yes. the one time the stream worked via the isadora live capture settings window the video feed was faultless. when i used the app (as the live capture settings window was green screening) i saw momentary freezing of the stream.

this to me suggests that it's a reception not broadcast originated issue.

many thanks for working with us to get your great app working with isadora.

@Kinoni, EpocCamSyphonViewer works out of the box, OSX 10.9. iPad mini iOS7, well done. 10 out of 10.

crystalhorizon

@kinoni great work! multicam and OSC would be really fantastic! So my Facetime Camera seems to work in Isadora. Maybe its like Skulpture mentioned, a reboot thing. Yes its an IPhone 4 with IOS7.

Hello everybody, long time without coming here!

I just finished a video scenography including live images with air beam and I am very impressed by the quality of epoccam. It would be good to have the possibility to reduce the bandwidth, to avoid some freezing.

But the possibility to not have the image moving between vertical and horizontal is very great (not the same in AirBeam, trying to change the size…).

I wait for the next developments!

Bravo, Jacques hoepffner

crystalhorizon

@kinoni just tested the syphon viewer with my IPad 4 Retina, works great with Isadora. Thank you so much.

@mark syphon to video actor works, but syphon to image doesnt seem to work right. But there is always the possibility of the video to image actor.

Managed to run Epoccam (IPad4) and AirBeam (IPhone4) at the same time. http://youtu.be/qMwBs5r9dPQ

Everyone, thanks for the positive comments and feedback. That gives us motivation to make our software more useful for Isadora users. As interesting as the multi-cam support and other features are to implement, we also need to think about financial side. As I said before we need to create a iPhone / Android app for multi-camera support and other features discussed in this thread. It will be free to try but to unlock all the features customers need to pay for something. Any comments what would be reasonable price tag for a product with 4 camera support and other features discussed in this thread?

In this thread I can see people want at least

-multi-cam support (almost done, will released soon)

-OSC

-USB support (with 1080p support)

-higher framerates (60 or 120 frames per second)

What is your priority order, what features are most needed? We can then implement those first.

@Skulpture. Thanks for the feedback. You might want to wait for multi-camera support before mentioning our app in your blog.

@particlep: Could be network bandwidth issue as well. We need to add settings to limit needed bandwidth.

@rainbow: Good to hear it works since this is just our first public try-out.

@feinsinn: Multicam is coming soon. For OSC we probably add features release by release, based on what users want.

@jhoepffner: Thanks, we believe we have the best quality and lowest bandwidth requirement. I agree that bandwidth / resolution should be adjustable. Added to our TODO-list.

Skulpture

Thanks @Kinoni

In terms of priority I would personally say in the order you have listed them :)
