The new Signal Culture Modular Apps are scalable to any resolution your rig can handle. Featuring modular design and Syphon/Spout integration allows for seamless video processing across applications simultaneously including external device support, easy MIDI controller assignment, and live feed processing.


Donation for the apps is tax deductible in the US.

Jason Bernagozzi with UI consultation by Eric Souther.

Signal Culture Modular Apps  Bundle

Get the new Signal Culture Modular Apps bundle for MacOS  and Windows for $15 less than the cost of individual donations!


Apps included in the bundle are:

SC Input Amplifier, Frame Buffer, Maelstrom, SSSScan, Re:Trace, V-Mass, SC Video Mixer, Interstream

and SC Syphon/Spout Recorder 


Apps NOT included are Weaver and PXLMSH.

Signal Culture Input Amplifier

The Input Amplifier is a free, scalable application designed to use the Syphon/Spout protocols to route multiple live or prerecorded video streams to any Syphon/Spout integrated application. Designed as the brain for the Signal Culture Modular Apps suite.

Signal Culture Frame Buffer

Frame Buffer stores and repeats frames on up to 3 keyed layers of video, allowing for feedback and keyclip compositing. You can set the repeated frames from 1 frame to as many as the memory of your computer will allow.

Maelstrom 

Features 2 levels of multi-directional feedback using stacked keying and frame difference processing. Send your video into multiple directions using downstream image compositing through our updated X, Y, Z and rotation controls.

SSSScan 

SSSScan uses generative or live video gradients to determine the shape and movement of a buffered slitscan. New features include variable speed and resolution controls and realtime gradient selection that allows users to alter the shape of the slitscan and to scrub backward or forward through the buffer.

Re: Trace

Re:Trace redraws live or recorded video onto an image plane made up of geometries such as points, lines, polygons, etc. The image plane can then be rotated, zoomed in or out, displaced on X, Y, and Z axes, and can be folded into new shapes and volumes.

V-Mass

V-Mass allows you to map video onto either a selection of geometric primitives or onto imported 3D models. New features include support for short animations such as walk cycles and generative fractal bump mapping.

Interstream

The Interstream Modular App allows users to datamosh movies or live cameras fluidly in realtime. Innovative new features include multi-directional, timed blooming and perpetual moshing without the need to reset your blooms.

Signal Culture Video Mixer

The Signal Culture Video Mixer Modular App uses the Syphon and Spout protocols to mix between up to 4 Signal Culture apps or between any software packages that use Syphon or Spout. Mixes include cross fades, luma key or chroma key wipes, and generative wipes using one of your videos as a mask.


Weaver

The Weaver Modular App allows you to interleave two video textures through swappable dynamic luminance displacement maps in real time. This allows for a “texture weaving” aesthetic that is reminiscent of GAN image processing gone awry.


PXLMSH

The PXLMSH Modular App has an unusual pixel sorting-esque engine that samples pixels along a key edge and can move those pixels across the video live and in real time. Additional features include texture displacement, texture swapping and pixel squish compositing.

Signal Culture Syphon/Spout Recorder

SC Syphon/Spout Recorder is free recording app for any Syphon/Spout integrated software. We saw that people were sad the old one stopped distributing, so we wanted to give the people what they want!
