pyOscVideo

pyOscVideo is a multi-video recorder and player controllable via Open Sound Control (OSC).

The main purpose is to record video from multiple cameras synchronized with another source, for instance, another software recording audio. Since recording multiple videos in high resolution is a demanding task for the hardware, other tasks (audio recording, sensor data recording, measurements, dsp, etc.) can be performed on a separate computer and synchronized via OSC over the network.

pyOscVideo currently does not support Windows, recording of multiple high definition videos on GNU/Linux might depend on your build of OpenCV.

pyOscVideo is developed within the research project "Social interaction through sound feedback – Sentire"
