Resolume arena 5 running slow mac3/13/2024 ![]() ![]() I talk about this at the end of the demo video, and I’m really trying to make it happen. Additive is the bangs-for-your-buck upgrade here, and I think would really creatively transform what is possible with the mixer as you get the ability to truly composite the two sources together. The processor has the power to compute a soft-edged key for every pixel, so there’s some per-pixel computing power to play with. Mix modes are in the realm of possibility. What sorts of firmware additions would you like to see / develop? (you mentioned multiply mode as an option once?) But in the expression of interest form, lots of people asked, so on they went… and wow, tapping in a slight variation of the main laptop’s mix is a really powerful thing. The original prototype didn’t have them, I envisaged a cross fade from one to the other and not much else. The surprise for me was the tap buttons, I love them. Makes me push things much further! That, and I’m freed from the fear of my bleeding-edge software taking down the whole show. Using it two-up in a D-Fuse show with Mike, I’m freed from the need for it always to be my mix on screen, so I can rip down, prepare and experiment with the mix. The mixer for me is in support of the laptop, and damn have I enjoyed pushing crazy pixels with my laptop. What have you enjoyed about using your prototypes during performances? In between priming conveyor belts and supervising factory elves, Toby was kind enough to answer these questions: It was also a world that he would have to build himself, and a couple of years down the track, here we are. Rattling along in the tube, in between bankers reading 50 Shades of Kindles… Toby envisioned a better world, a world where VGA and DVI signals could be mixed without repercussions, and a world where smooth crossfading could happen with a device carried in your backpack. We have no jetpacks, but soon it seems, we will have affordable mixing of digital video signals, thanks to the herculean efforts of 1 x Toby Harris aka *spark aka ‘card carrying Timelord amongst VJs’. Orders are being taken on September 5th, the manufacturing run will then take six weeks from there. If you’ve been following the project, the message is simple: pay and yours will be produced. ![]() If you want to know more or see it in action, jump straight to the demo video below. ![]() Whether switching between presenters or pushing avant-garde pixels, hands-on control for mixing DVI and VGA signals is now available in a compact and affordable package. “The *spark d-fuser lets you crossfade between laptops. ![]()
