Resolume 6.1.0 Sync to the DJ

Post by Joris »

The 6.1.0 release is a major point release, which means we added a big feature. As we announced a few weeks ago, we made it a lot easier to sync a prepared video set to the audio coming from the DJ.

phpBB [video]


If you work with a DJ that mixes on a Denon setup, you can sync every video in Resolume to every track on the players. You can read all about that in the manual. Suffice to say, this will make banging out those DJ intros and special show moments a piece of cake.

We also have a handful of bug fixes. If you're using multiply a lot, make sure you peek the warning below! Otherwise, just hit that download.

Multiply Mixer Warning
We fixed the jump cut when ejecting a clip from a multiply layer using a transition. The multiply blend now works the same as in Photoshop. So far so good! This also means that when using the multiply blend in combination with content that has transparency, the visual result will be slightly different, also in existing compositions. If you prefer the old look, you can disable the alpha channel in the content.

Hotfix! September 20th.
The Opacity fader of a layer was not working correctly when it was playing a SMPTE synced clip. Fixed in Arena 6.1.0 rev61231. Simply download Arena 6.1 again to get this latest revision.

Fixed
#11629 (closed) Make multiply mixer transparency aware
#11598 (closed) DMA Textures crashes with HAP q alpha
#11405 (closed) Crash loading certain TIFF files
#11609 (closed) Hue rotate after Iterate or Fragment not processing pre multiplied colors correctly
#11574 (closed) Fix Rings generator not outputting correctly premultiplied colors
#11573 (closed) Fix LineScape generator not outputting correctly premultiplied colors
#11571 (closed) Fix Lines generator not outputting correctly premultiplied colors
#11569 (closed) Fix checkered generator not outputting correctly premultiplied colors

Last time I've saw denon hardware on a stage was almost twenty years ago.
Is that a common thing in europe? Is usual hardware there, or a great reso.bonus?
Love the fixes.
I still recommend a simple multiply filter to get rid off all that situations we know.

Thanks for the info Oaktown. I know this is about blending. Is just everytime I see that word miss the ability of multiply straight alpha (when you crop, mask,key.. even after transform). You know, the simple thing :D

Great to see some integration, although 90% of the sets here (italy) are Pioneer CDJ. It would have been nice to have at least the bpm input from them via network, but anyway hopefully we will get there.

Thanks!

They recently have added a midi, but also creates Ableton link for resolume.

100 USD a month or 2k outright.

Mac only tho.

I've tried this yesterday in a live setting.

3 CDJ's + 1 DJM (nexus versions).
https://github.com/Deep-Symmetry/beat-link-trigger


On a macbook which was linked in the same network as the CDJ's.
There are some glitches, but the most works without any problem.

It's open source, maybe you guys at resolume can use his knowledge? :)
