Using Multiple Projectors
Connecting to multiple screens / projectors can be done using external devices such as the Matrox Triple Head to Go card, which will divide for example – a very wide video sent from a single computer such as 2400×600 – onto 3 separate screens of 800×600. The more expensive Datapath X4 will send video to 4 separate screens, and includes a range of cropping and alignment features.

QLab – Mac based software for controlling multimedia events and installations. “QLab allows you to control audio, video, and MIDI from a single workspace.”

Syphon can be used to send video from one mac app to another (eg from Airbeam to Resolume)
(What about sending video from mac apps that don’t have Syphon built in? You can send video from these using the Desktop to Syphon app, found via the Syphon Screen Capture page).
eg One workflow might be – use Alchemy as a drawing app, capture this with the Desktop to Syphon app, then choose Syphon input as a layer in Resolume.)
“To enable Syphon, simply check the box in the Video tab of the Preferences.
Any program that is broadcasting its output via Syphon will now show up under the sources tab. You can add them to a deck like you would any other live input.”
Resolume ‘Auto Pilot Sequencing‘:
“When activated, Resolume will start playing the next clip in the layer when the current clip reaches its end. You can specify whether the sequence should play forwards, backwards or play a random clip. Empty slots are always skipped.
Auto pilot can be turned on for all clips in a layer in the layer properties panel, but individual clips can be set to have some additional options. By right clicking on the name handle you can set the auto pilot on a per clip basis. By using this setting on the last clip of a sequence, you can tell it to loop or simply stop the sequence.”
Other aspects of Resolume relevant to control / sequencing:
- Controlling Resolume Avenue
- Animating Parameters
- Linking Parameters with The Dashboard
- Audio Analysis ( Check to ensure you have your audio input Preferences set-up first.)
- Keyboard Control
- MIDI

Touch Resolume 1.0 – Custom TouchOSC Layout for Resolume 3 (ie a custom layout you can use with the software TouchOSC on your iPhone / iPad to control resolume.)
““Touch Resolume” is a custom layout for TouchOSC that allows you to control Resolume 3 over a wireless network directly with your iphone, ipod touch or ipad WITHOUT midi mapping, just load the software and start controlling dozens of functions in Resolume, no mapping required. Touch Resolume controls Resolume 3 directly with OSC commands.”
