Maybe you can use the free desktop streamer from Coolux.

You find the free download on www.coolux.de
navigate to download --> WYSIWYG CE --> Pandora's box CITP Desktop Streamer V2

Note that the resolution is limited to 144x144 pix to the limitations of CITP

Hi Alex,

The desktop streamer is your best option!

PB Desktop Streamer looks good, will try this out on a few examples and see what the results are. Although I don't think the PB Streamer solves my current problem of getting images / output from the media server I'm currently using into Capture Polar; sorry, forgot to mention that the media server is on a Mac (Catalyst) and I'm using Capture Polar on a Win 7 PC, so need some streaming software that can take multiple outputs from a Mac and get them to a windows PC / Laptop. Or could I run Capture Polar on another Mac and use some funky Mac software to stream between the two machines?

Hi Alex,

This is technology that is slightly outside what I understand or have ever used, but maybe using some plugins you could stream it using QuickTime. Again - I'm very unversed here, just giving you a pointer!

Many thanks, will see what I can work out over the next few weeks and if anything is successful, will report back. Next question / request; is there a chance for a future release of Capture in the extended edition where the 'save as presentation' option could reference and include the videos that you assign to the video players / mapped material? This way you can simulate the media server content via the video players and then send the presentation including video to a client for proofing / acceptance. This would increase the size of the export file, so an option to select this ability, just in case you don't want to export with video; but I think a worthwhile feature.

Hi Alex,

Embedding video files is on our todo-list, although being able to record a video on-screen has higher priority at the moment. =)
