If all goes well you should see your vdmx output right in BoinxTV. So go ahead and completely disable the output in VDMX. The reason I do this is that I found the output from BoinxTV for the second monitor works way faster then the one from VDMX - yeah no kidding - in the end everything works much smoother recording then when I am using VDMX alone - which is mightily weird but maybe - just maybe - the code for the second monitor output is more optimized in BoinxTV then it is in VDMX. So once you have all this installed and running:Īs you can see I made a group of my VDMX layers that I use for the Syphon source rather then using the normal 'Output'. (I am not affiliated with the nice people at Boinx - they just have been extremely helpful in helping me make it work) I am using the 'Big' edition of BoinxTV but I am told by the people behind BoinxTV that the 'home' edition is sufficient for this purpose.

While it can´t stream the stuff (yet - I am promised to have streaming capabilities by summer) it can record in about any format you would want to. You also need BoinxTV - its a program designed to make and record 'live' TV shows. Its important that your version VDMX has Syphon support build in. You need of course VDMX in its very newest incarnation (beta) I used 8.0.0.8 successfully - newer versions should not have any problem. Helpfull is also the simple server/client to check if you get stuff out of VDMX. Syphon Plugins for Quartz Composer installed This is the super secret sauce to Record a live video performance with VDMX including audio that is in sync - using only one computer to play and record - have better frame rate on your output then without recording (yeah no shit).
