Today we are using openFrameworks to build a cross-platform Video playback solution that can be used by Spyder operators to sync playback from a Command Key. We use external network function keys to send specially formatted UDP commands to a custom video playback application. In this video we cycle through 3 separate looping video clips(P1-ShowBlender, P2-Walking Fingers, and P3-Vector Tree Animation) triggered from Vista Advanced 4.0.6.
Let me know if you have any playback integration needs.
