#dvswitch

  • live PAL/NTSC VideoMixer (network orientated) for DV file(s)/stream(s) originating from local FireWire/iLink devices like camera's, recorders or even remote ones on the network/internet.

  • fork of commit 1d73d4a which compiles and runs on ubuntu 16.04 i686/amd64(both tested)

  • reason 2015 mailinglist activity shows the dvswitch project is dead and removed from current ubuntu/debian repositories!

  • attempt to continue/add missing "half-assed" features to this beautifull robust software package that honours field interlacing!

##Compile and Run on ubuntu 16.04

Based on ubuntu 16.04 'mini.iso' install with tasksel options "standard system utilities + Ubuntu MATE minimal installation + OpenSSH-server" the following instructions should let you "compile" and "run" dvswitch:

#get the neccesary tools to compile and run dvswitch
sudo apt-get install dvgrab ffmpeg cmake build-essential libboost-thread-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libasound2-dev libxv-dev libjack-jackd2-dev liblo-dev git
#create folder to get sourcecode for dvswitch
mkdir ~/mygitprojects
cd ~/mygitprojects
#get dvswitch sourcecode
git clone https://github.com/walterav1984/dvswitch.git
#create folder to compile dvswitch
mkdir -p mybuilds/dvswitch/build1
#prepare compiling dvswitch in current folder
cd mybuilds/dvswitch/build1
cmake ../../../dvswitch
#compile dvswitch
make

#test dvswitch or its subcommands located in the src folder
cd src
./dvswitch -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1 #probably won't start see error missing icons!
sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/dvswitch
sudo cp ~/mygitprojects/dvswitch/data/*.png /usr/local/share/dvswitch/ #install missing icons!
./dvswitch -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1 #starts the actual GUI based dvmixer 

./dvsource-dvgrab --firewire -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1 #subcommand connects 'some/single' DV iLink/FireWire to dvswitch
./dvsource-dvgrab --firewire -g typeGUIDcodehere -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1 #subcommand connects specific DV device to dvswitch

#What is typeGUIDcodehere? DV devices have unique codes that help identify same type/models so you can choose a specific
#camera to be the first or the third device in your video mixer. To find GUID codes, use terminal and type:dmesg | grep "GUID"

./dvsource-file -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1 -l  ~/mygitprojects/dvswitch/tests/test1.dv #subcommand -l loops file for continues playback in dvswitch 

./dvsink-files -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1 ~/Desktop/recordmixeroutput.dv #subcommand records the output of dvswitch(when record is pressed)!

#when dvswitch and it subcommands behave fine you can install it
cd ~/mygitprojects/mybuilds/dvswitch/build1
sudo make install #dvswitch gets installed with icons and related subcommands tools and can be run global from shell!

###Fix ubuntu 16.04 firewire sudo permissions /dev/fw* for "ancient" DV devices

Grabbing DV video signals with "dvgrab" or using "dvswitch" normally works for modern DV devices which get added to the video/audio USER GROUP automatically by udev without sudo permissions, but some "ancient" DV camera's are not recognized by the udev rules since 16.04!

#quick&dirty autopatch
sudo sed -i 's/0x010001/0x01000/g' /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
sudo sed -i 's/0x010001/0x01000/g' /lib/udev/rules.d/70-uaccess.rules

#manual readon compare permisions of working "modern" dv devices with "ancient" dv devices
ls -la /dev/fw*
getfacl /dev/fw*
cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw1/* #shows more firewire info like ATTR

#wrong group root/video, no rw rights, missing +attribute, ATTR different!

#duplicate the lines in the following udev rules containing:
#*0x00a02d:0x010001* alter to the ATTR of the old sony camera *0x00a02d:0x010000*

sudo nano /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
#SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010001*", GROUP="video"
+SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010000*", GROUP="video"

sudo nano /lib/udev/rules.d/70-uaccess.rules
#SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010001*", TAG+="uaccess"
+SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010000*", TAG+="uaccess"

Ubuntu 16.04 tweaks hdd/cpu
sudo nano /etc/hdparm.conf #uncomment apm=255 which disables hdd powermanagement
sudo nano /etc/init.d/ondemand #replace GOVERNOR="ondemand/performance/interactive/etc" all with "performance"

##TODO

##TODO hard?

  • (re)start fileplayback of dvsource-file when source is selected in the dvswitch mixer (respond on taly activation)
  • Reorder GUI dvselector buttons (Label/A/B/Audio) horizontal in columns above thumb instead of rows beside thumb.
  • Compile OSX dvsource-file needs machtiming patch/rewrite timert (OSX Sierra timert still not sufficient)
  • automate/link "dvpause project" start/play button with source selection (keyboard press) in dvswitch?
  • composite transparant static or animating CGI/Logo #mlt can composite anything ontop of dvsink output incl. CasparCG
  • write native dvsink-producers for MLT-framework/CasparCG-server/obs-studio based on dvswitch-command to stream dvswitch out
  • changelog / version update official build?
  • example scripts of all great dv/firewire related tools / pipe-constructions
#mixer output of local dvswitch as a source to a remote dvswitch mixer input 
#depending on network topology Routing/NAT this command can be initiated local or remote
dvsink-command -p 1234 -h 192.168.2.222 dvsource-file -- - -p 1235 -h 192.168.1.111

#record individual sources instead of dvswitch single mix output!
dvgrab -noavc -g typeGUIDcamera1 - | tee >(dvsource-dvgrab --firewire - -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1) >(~/Desktop/camera1fileoutput.dv) > /dev/null
dvgrab -noavc -g typeGUIDcamera2 - | tee >(dvsource-dvgrab --firewire - -p 1234 -h 127.0.0.1) >(~/Desktop/camera2fileoutput.dv) > /dev/null
  • some firewire debug hints "lspci / kernel modules / dmesg / IRQ interrupts sharing / etc"
#lists pci(-e) FireWire adapter(s)
lspci | egrep "IEEE|Ieee|ieee|1394|Fire|FIRE|fire|OHCI|Ohci|ohci"

#lists kernelmodule(s) loaded
lsmod | egrep "IEEE|Ieee|ieee|1394|Fire|FIRE|fire|OHCI|Ohci|ohci|RAW|Raw|raw"

#list GUID of any FireWire device including the pci(-e) adapter(s) itself
dmesg | grep GUID #s400 are probably the pci(-e) chipsets itself, dv/hdv devices are probably s100

#list GUID of connected FireWire devices excluding the adapter(s) itself
dmesg | grep GUID | egrep -v "puts400GUIDhere|puts400GUIDhere|etc" #  

#show IRQ / interrupts of FireWire pci(-e) adapters or shared devices using the same interupt
cat /proc/interrupts | egrep "firewire|ohci"

##Other important DV related tools

  • dvgrab (easy cli capture util for dv/hdv firewire sources) see repository
#examples capture live dv in camera mode 
dvgrab -noavc -f raw ~/Desktop/testcapturecamerastream.dv #captures dv files usable by dvswitch/dvpause Final Cut X/Pro/Express
dvgrab -noavc -f raw -s 0 ~/Desktop/testcapturemaerastream.dv #captures dv 'unlimmited filesize' bigger than 1GB 
dvgrab -noavc -g typeGUIDcodehere -f raw -s 0 ~/Desktop/testcapturecamerestream.dv #captures unlimited dv from specific camera

#examples capture tape dv/hdv in recorder mode
dvgrab -rewind #rewinds tape in 1st/all recorders 
dvgrab -f raw -s 0 ~/Destkop/tape1-shot- #captures dv from tape from 1st recorder
dvgrab -f raw -s 0 -a ~/Destkop/tape1-shot- #captures dv from tape with 'shot/scene detection' from 1st recorder
dvgrab -f hdv -s 0 ~/Destkop/tape1-shot- #captures 'hdv' from tape from 1st recorder
dvgrab -g typecameraGUIDhere -f hdv -s 0 ~/Destkop/tape1-shot- #captures hdv from tape from specific recorder

#example convert movie file container type
cat rawdvexamplefile.dv | dvgrab --stdin -noavc -s 0 -f dv2 rawdvexamplefiletype2.avi #converts raw dv to type2 avi container
cat rawdvexamplefile.dv | dvgrab --stdin -noavc -f dv1 rawdvexamplefiletype1.avi #why??? limited compatibility/filesize

#play dv stream in mediaplayer
dvgrab -noavc - | vlc - #plays dv stream instantly in vlc
dvgrab -noavc - | mplayer -nocache - #less delay than vlc?
