Verktøykassen: Video synchronization
Published
In this Verktøykassen we will be looking into video synchronization; when two or more videos are playing synchronously on separate screens or projectors. Course leader Stian Remvik will present various methods with different software and hardware, and look closer at the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods.
Here are a few examples of video synchronization, both of which are projects where Stian has been working together with the artists:

Registration by Tuesday April 2nd to bek@bek.no Please let us know of questions and/or issues that you wish to address in Verktøykassen (beyond today’s theme). Bring your own laptop.
Friday April 5th at 10.00 – 16.00: Open Verktøykasse. Work on your project, get feedback, look into other people’s projects, learn and discuss! The course leader will be available during parts of the day. No registration, and you don’t have to have attended the course on Thursday.
Verktøykassen is free and open to everyone, and will be held in Norwegian and/or English as needed.
The next Verktøykassen will be held on April 25th and 26th. There we will look closer at LED (light-emitting diode), and how to connect many diodes to Arduino and control the brightness of each one. Stay tuned!
Previous topic in Verktøykassen has been “control the behavior of light and image” (micro: bit) and “interactive projects for screens” (Unity).
About Verktøykassen
Verktøykassen (the toolbox) is BEK’s new meeting place to learn about and try out technical tools, be it both hardware and software. There is a low threshold for participation and a high hands-on factor. Each time, a new “theme of the day” is launched, and the participants can come with inputs or questions that are raised jointly. The toolbox will take place regularly throughout the spring, and is led by game developer and programmer Stian Remvik.
