Hey folks! I’ve been DJing since the mid 90s, and just started integrating my video synthesis system with live Twitch streams.
Here are some highlights, enjoy them while they last. I’ll upload full copies someday after they expire in the coming weeks. Expect to hear Braindance, Acid, House, Techno, DrumFunk, and some Jungle.

Did visuals for DJ CZ at Chillits last weekend. My personal AV set from Chillits post coming next week. Both sets feature DSG3 and other Gen3 modules throughout. Very happy with the DSG3 and Mapper combo, infinite rainbow shapes!

Looking good! Nice to see DSG3 and MemPal hanging out with the AI Furbies.
#11 — Dr_Rek · 2022-09-29
Lots of DSG3 Mapper rainbows in my set from Chillits, I used a less complex patch with Sensory Translator, Baja and Pendulum mixed in Submixer into DSG3 > Mapper > ESG3 to focus on rainbows for this Friday Night performance the night before the above CZ set.

Welcome. Your flower power video looks great!
This thread is for discussing “DJing with live visuals”, so you might consider sharing in the gallery thread:
I don’t know that we have one place for us to post our videos to that we want to share with the community. I may have just missed the thread. > anyway > I’ll start with some vidiot feedback >> this was using two cameras two projectors and one vidiot > what have you all been working on?>

I need a solid recommendation for a converter for ESG3 to HDMI projector for an upcoming live gig, (Component/YPbPr to HDMI). Performing at the Music Box in Nola, if anyone’s been. I saw photos of the projections for the Meridian Bros. a couple weeks ago and the place looks amazing.
#16 — Dr_Rek · 2022-10-25
Hey! Probably better threads for that discussion, but best thing I’ve found so far (if you are fine with 30 fps, which is fine for almost all live performance situations) is this one: CVH-01 V2 - SmartAVI
A converter that supports 60 fps and 10-bit color, I’m still on the hunt
#17 — brendanleespengler · 2022-10-25
I need a component to HDMI converter, from ESG to projector.
#18 — Dr_Rek · 2022-10-26
Yes you will find most component inputs on converters and video mixers need the vga to rca component cable. This box should work with one of those. They come in 3ft and 6ft Monoprice 6ft VGA to 3 RCA Component Video Cable (HD15 - 3-RCA) - Monoprice.com
#19 — brendanleespengler · 2022-10-26
Confusing. So is a cheap RCA to HDMI converter not a good option? Does the ESG3 have problems w the YPbPr outs v. the composite out? Do most venues have projector setups w HDMI inputs only? The handful I’ve encountered recently do. What is the solution for VJing w ESG3?
#21 — Dr_Rek · 2022-10-26
Or there are lots of cheap Chinese options like this on Amazon
amazon.comhttps://www.amazon.com/Portta-N3CVRHP-Component-Converter-support/dp/B003VJ9RP6Amazon.com: Portta Component to HDMI Converter, Portta YPbPr Component RGB + R/L Audio to HDMI Converter v1.3 Support 1080P 24bit 2 Channel Audio LPCM for HDTV PS3 PS4 HDVD Player Wii Xbox and More (Component to HDMI) : Electronics
Link: Amazon.com: Portta Component to HDMI Converter, Portta YPbPr Component RGB + R/L...
Color is 8-bit, and I’ve no idea about quality, but probably worth checking out one model or another with free Amazon returns.
I can’t confirm it will work with esg3 but could. Anyone tried these type?

That’s the HDMI to Component converter (if you use this for input, you probably want to use the version that has a built in scaler). They also make a Component to HDMI converter.
I use both. From what I have seen, the Portta HDMI to Component converter (with scaler) is a bit soft. The Portta Component to HDMI looks good, but I’m only working in PAL.

I’m planning on getting a Retrotink 5X soon for live projections. It’s core purpose is for retro gaming with old SD game consoles on modern TVs which prioritizes low latency and has upscaling capabilities. I know some people on the Discord were discussing there’s recently.
#24 — Dr_Rek · 2022-10-26
I have a retrotink 2x and it works great for SD to HDMI stuff. FYI The 5x doesn’t support 1080p source resolutions, and is pricey, so I decided against it.

From New Years Eve,
High quality HEVC download: EditTraxNYE22-DrRek.mp4 - Google Drive
or the lower quality youtube: Dr. Rek - EditTrax NYE Full AV mix - YouTube
YouTube is really bad at 60 fps video synthesis compression…
Interesting the forum doesn’t preview the link anymore
