reduce lag/latency of a jit.grab camera feed from webcam
Jan 24 2022 | 12:02 pm
Hello, I'm doing a live performance project which requires live camera feed being grabbed into the patch with as less lag as possible. Since we need the feed to be perfectly synced with the actually performance. When I tried to connect a Logitech c930 webcam with a jit.grab help file with all default settings, the lag is about 0.5 second. How can I improve the lag. I also tried hdmi connection to goPro, the leg is about the same. Acceptable but not ideal. Besides hardware, Is there a way to optimize the patch to make it less lag. Thanks.
