What you get

The Resolume Video Desk template is a desk for Arena and Avenue: three layers of six clip keys, a row of column keys, and for each layer its opacity fader, SOLO, BYPASS and CLEAR. Under them the crossfader, the master fader, tempo tap, BPM and resync, and a disconnect-all. Every control already sends to port 7000, Resolume's default; you set the IP once.

OSCAR's Resolume template: three layers of clip buttons, a row of column buttons, layer controls, a crossfader, a master fader and tempo controls.
The Video Desk. Add rows and columns by copying a strip.

You will need

Set up Resolume

  1. Arena → Preferences → OSC. Turn OSC Input on; the port is 7000.
  2. For the faders to follow what happens in Resolume, turn OSC Output on as well, with OSCAR's IP as the address and 8880 as the port, OSCAR's listening port. A layer's opacity moved in Resolume then moves on every phone.
  3. Put clips in layers 1 to 3, columns 1 to 6.

Set up OSCAR

  1. File → Open project or template → Resolume Video Desk.
  2. If Resolume is on another computer, select every control and set its Ip to that computer's address. On the same computer, localhost is already set.
  3. Press Publish, then Publish in the window, and scan the QR code. Hold a clip key: the clip plays while the key is held.
New to OSC? The Getting started page builds a three-button Resolume remote from a blank canvas and explains what an address, a port and an IP are.

The addresses

ControlAddressNotes
Clip/composition/layers/L/clips/C/connect1 while held. L is the layer, C the column.
Column/composition/columns/C/connect1 while held: every clip in the column starts.
Opacity/composition/layers/L/video/opacity0 to 1. Follows Resolume with OSC Output on.
Solo, bypass, clear/composition/layers/L/solo /composition/layers/L/bypassed /composition/layers/L/clear
Crossfader, master/composition/crossfader/phase /composition/master0 to 1.
Tempo/composition/tempocontroller/tempotap /composition/tempocontroller/tempo /composition/tempocontroller/resync
Disconnect all/composition/disconnectall

Resolume's full list is in its own manual under OSC; any of them goes into a control's Message field.

From the phone, and from anywhere

Every phone that scans the code shows the same desk, and they stay in step. For a visitor on mobile data, OSCAR Pro gives the interface a public link that works from anywhere, with no access to your Wi-Fi.

When nothing moves

Click ACTIVITY in OSCAR's top bar for the network log: every message, with its address and port. If messages go out and Resolume stays still, check OSC Input is on and the port is 7000, and that a firewall on the Resolume computer lets UDP 7000 through.
