Using the LumaPad as a monitor for a 3D camera

Lume Pad
1

Can the LumaPad 2 accept a live video signal? Does it have any HDMI or DP inputs? If not, if I use a HDMI to USB-C adapter, could I come in via USB-C with a live video signal? I ask because I’m curious if I could use the LumaPad as a camera monitor. The camera that would be connected to the LumaPad shoots stereoscopically so I want a method of viewing what I’m shooting in 3D but it needs to be essentially real-time. Hopefully with no more than perhaps 100ms of latency?

I’m not sure that will work, at least not without special software. I’m looking into this for other reasons (for gaming) but I haven’t quite figured it out yet. In theory, it should be possible, with the right adapters and software, but it doesn’t work out of box as far as I know.

There should be a player App that coukd connect to wireless streams (by IP or something, like VLC), and be able to activate 3D mode

LeiaTube can do that, and if you can get your stream latency low enough AND it’s 3D, the added latency should be in the milliseconds.

Unfortunately most streaming tools people use and encoding systems take a lot longer. Streaming to Twitch has 8 seconds of latency minimum.

But yes, if anyone else made an app for this, it should work very easily.

This is a very interesting topic. I’d like to see more on the possibility of connecting a Fuji W3 or QooCam Ego, for example, and/or what applications people have gotten to work.

This is my top request for one of these devices as well, along with being able to monitor from a 3d output, my main thing being that As I create stereoscopic content , the easier it is for me to create and monitor (especially if it was monitored on the Lume Pad) I’d be able to create awesome content to further sales and viewership on the Lume Pad. I have an After Effects sbs workflow which I’m stuck with a small TV to monitor with and could never travel with me, and filming things is guess-and-check for me with 2 GoPros or my 3d lenses strapped to Blackmagic or Panasonic but my dream is a way to view it in production because half the battle is just hoping I got it right. Shooting on w3 or this little DXG guy I bought is my option but being a post production guy my stuff could pop off with a proper production monitor or portable viewer for After Effects as well that does just the more simple split screen interlacing
