Bidirectional analog/digital conversion of composite, s-video, and firewire/ilink.

Using this device on Mac OS X 10.9, analog video input shows up as a system device. It also works as a firewire video output device.
Using Jitter you can get real time input from analog video devices like cameras and VCR’s. Here’s an example using jit.grab (Max help file) to get input from an analog camcorder.
Sending output via firewire to a TV using jit.qt.videoout (Jitter tutorial 22):
This is what it looks like on a TV:

Algorithmic composition and generative music – part 2
With reactive music, audio is the input. Music is the output. Music can also be the input.
from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RjDj
“Reactive music, a non-linear form of music that is able to react to the listener and his environment in real-time.[2] Reactive music is closely connected to generative music, interactive music, and augmented reality. Similar to music in video-games, that is changed by specific events happening in the game, reactive music is affected by events occurring in the real life of the listener. Reactive music adapts to a listener and his environment by using built in sensors (e.g. camera, microphone, accelerometer, touch-screen and GPS) in mobile media players. The main difference to generative music is that listeners are part of the creative process, co-creating the music with the composer. Reactive music is also able to augment and manipulate the listeners real-world auditory environment.[3]
What is distributed in reactive music is not the music itself, but software that generates the music…”

As of iOS 8.2, Dark Knight crashes on load. Inception only works with “Reverie Dream” (lower left corner)
Though RJDJ is a lost relic in 2015. It still works in Pd. The example scenes used here are meant to run under libpd in iOS or Android, but they will actually work in Mac OS X.
First, use Pd Extended. Ok maybe you don’t need to.
1. Read the article from Makezine by Mike Dixon http://makezine.com/2008/11/03/howto-hacking-rjdj-with-p/
2. Download sample scenes from here: http://puredata.info/docs/workshops/MobileArtAndCodePdOnTheIPhone The link is under the heading “RJDJ Sources”
3. Download RJLIB from here: https://github.com/rjdj/rjlib
4. Add these folders in RJLIB to your Pd path (in preferences)
5. Now, try running the scene called “echelon” from the sample scenes you downloaded. It should be in the folder rjdj_scenes/Echelon.rj/_main.pd
Note: with Pd-extended 0.43-4 the error message: “base: no method for ‘float'” fills the console as soon as audio is turned on.
The ones with marked with a * seem to work well without need for modification or an external GUI. They all have error messages) – and they really are meant to work on Mobile devices, so a lot of the sensor input isn’t there.
to be continued…
Including stuff explained above.
