[PD] pushing gem pix_video I/O

[hi]

Hi Marco,

i tested a couple of years ago with a MacPro 2013 and a blackmagic card connected through thunderbolt. The minimum latency was ~200ms and was about the same with quicktime and Pd/Gem (i used the quicktime plugin anyway).
If your SDI out is not visible as a monitor output you would need an extra tool to send it there, maybe something exists with syphon?
If you need to work with OpenGL maybe shaders could help you (check [glsl_program]).
all the best,

-jonas
