Right now, if I understand correctly, you have Display->Isadora->Syphon Virtual Cam->Skype as the delivery path for the displays into your Skype server which you then pull NDI ISO feeds from on your end. You've got quite the CDN here, let me see if I can help simplify a few elements. Any ideas on how I can walk them through some tests to get a better image? In all of my testing of this system I didn't have any issues, but I also realise that these people have never used their devices like this before, so there may be some very basic settings and changes that I have neglected to tell them about.Īny help or suggestions on this issue (or the entire setup) are welcome and very appreciated!īig love & gratitude to the community always and thanks in advance for any Thanks for sharing the project it looks super interesting! User 2 (Mojave Version 10.14.6 - 2014 Mac Air)Īs y'all can see, there's a notable difference but neither are ideal. The user on the left is using Catalina & has had very little trouble getting everything installed, while the user on the right is using Mojave and has been having some issues getting things installed and up and running. Here are screen shots of their feeds directly from Skype: Both of their Syphon Virtual Webcam windows are displaying 1920x1080 and 30+fps.

Neither are great, but I don't know what to tell them to do to improve or test it. The signal I am receiving on Skype from one of the actors is extremely low resolution. From there, I am sending out to OBS via Syphon Client and using Blackhole virtual audio device to send our Discord Voice Channel to OBS.

On my device (late 2013 Mac Pro HighSierra 10.13.6), I take their respective Skype inputs via NDI and into Isadora to control the fades/cropping/etc.

I had two of the three actors install Isadora, Screen Capture plugin and Syphon Virtual Webcam in order to send their own desktops as a webcam input (to avoid having them share their screens during the show via Skype). We are using Discord for all of our audio, calling, and technical chats. We were hoping to use Facetime or something visually similar (lmk if you know something!), but Facetime interrupts the sound settings on lots of different video conferencing software. The system we are currently using is as follows: using Whereby: the actors see each other in real time. I've taken the time to read through every forum post on these topics and have done some testing, but as far as I can see, no one has posted about this very specific issue yet! Thank you all for your time spent on those posts! There are scenes that involve live typing through the messages app and video & phone calls happening at the same time. The director has asked me to create a POV view of two characters using their computers, the third actor interacts with the others only through video calls and texts.The audience sees their desktops in their entirety - their open tabs, their apps, the time and date, etc.

So now I'm sort of kicking myself for going through all of this trouble with a cheaper software when I could have just shelled a little extra cash earlier and gotten a more reliable product.Reaching out for some help for a daunting virtual theatre project involving three actors in their own homes. It made no sense to me and was pissing me off so I said screw it and just got Loopback and it worked basically instantly. I'd have to fiddle with it unchecking and rechecking some boxes in Sound Siphon or in my aggregate audio device in MacOS and then it would just magically start capturing.Īnyway yesterday I spent hours trying to get Sound Siphon to work properly - it was capturing Zoom audio but not anything else. Getting it to capture Discord was also troublesome, just seemed random whether or not it would actually work. It never wanted to capture the audio from Chrome but would capture it from Firefox just fine. Problem is, I never could quite get Sound Siphon working perfectly.

It basically does exactly what Soundflower/Loopback for Mac does, except it's only $30 for a license instead of $100. I was also using it to route the monitored audio from the DAW to a virtual audio device defined with Sound Siphon which I would use as the virtual mic so that remote guests could hear clips and stuff that I would play on my computer. I bought Sound Siphon nearly a year ago at this point and have been using it every week for a podcast in order to capture audio from different programs and route them to their own dedicated tracks in my DAW. Does anyone here use Sound Siphon and experience seemingly random, impossible to diagnose issues?
