VisualsCameras and person detection
Live camera looks for the dance floor and the stage.
Any video input works: a webcam, a capture card (for a camera on HDMI or SDI) or the OBS Virtual Camera. Library → Search cameras asks once for the camera permission and lists all inputs; a camera then becomes a clip like any other, also as a cue in SHOW.
Looks
| Look | What you see |
|---|---|
| Normal | the camera picture |
| Silhouette | people as a filled shape, black or in the layer color |
| Outline | a glowing line around the person |
| Dot matrix, ASCII, halftone | dots, characters or print dots by brightness, cell size adjustable |
| Thermal, duotone | false colors, or slot A for dark and slot B for bright |
| Mask positive | on the top layer: the visuals below are only visible inside the person |
| Mask negative | on the top layer: the person is cut out of the visuals |
Person detection
Silhouette, outline and the masks need to know where the person is. VJ-Link uses MediaPipe person segmentation for this: it runs on the computer itself, without internet and without a green screen. The fader Tightness sets how close the shape follows the person.
Beta
Tested with one person in front of a webcam. Several people, people far away on a big stage and stage lighting with haze and backlight are not tested yet.
Tip
The masks work on all layers below them, so put the camera layer at the very top.
