I'm l9king for a pair of glasses that have a video camera built-in to them which I could then run a video cable from and into my DVS 304 for some PIP (picture in picture).

Anybody seen or heard of these?? I must be able to plugin with a yellow video cable though. Any links would be great.

Thanks for the time and info

OK how about a camera that works in low light that could be mounted to a pair of glasses??
 
Plenty of sport cameras out there.

Are you plannining on streaming or just recording? You may need a hack to be able to stream with most, if not all, of these sport cameras.
What's your budget?


Here's an example of one:

The trouble is that any camera small enough to be mounted on glasses and not break your neck isn't going to be good in low light.

Lenses need to be big for good low light performance (let as much light in as poss) and tiny camera = tiny lens.

Does it have to be on/in glasses? The cameras from the GoPro range are often used by TV shows for action footage.

You can see some results from inside a club here. Even with this size camera, it struggles in that type of environment.
 
No streaming, I just thought I'd be cool to have my perspective up on the screen.

Hmm, Groovin I see your point. No it doesn't have to be on the glasses, lol! I'll check out go pro but if you have any other ideas Please share.
 
i have the Contour. awesome camera, you can mount it to some googles and record that way. if you want to save some money and save some from some vertigo mount a cheap digi to a mic stand above your set up.
 
Which Contour? I know mine (Roam 1600) isn't good in low light - I've tried it!
 
Hey there used to be a guy around here who had 2 xps10's all modded out and a faderfox mixer. I remember he had some camera's attached to his rig that I think will work perfect. Anybody know who this cat is or what his name is?? I also remember he had switched to using 2 ipads if that helps.

Dam I wish I could remember his name........
 
 
YES!! THAT'S HIM! Thanks Groovin, you just earned some points back, Lmao!! No I'm playing, but seriously, Thanks bro!!

OK so I looked at his profile and He's using 4 cctv low lux cameras. From the videos He's posted they seem lime they'll do the trick, no the hunt begins, lol!
 
Look at this. To do wireless you would need a wireless video transmitter/receiver that you can check out here.
 
OK well I know how to buy a projector but as I've been looking at different cctv cameras I've learned a few things about, here's the main thing you should look for, LUX

WHAT IS THE CAMERAS LUX RATING AND WHAT DOESIT MEAN?

THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT ISDEFINED BY LUX (LUMENS PER SQUARE METER) ONE LUX IS THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT CAST BY ONE CANDLE AT ONE METERSSPACE. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF NATURAL LIGHT SOURCESEXPRESSED IN LUX

NATURAL LUX EXAMPLES

DAYLIGHT 10,000 LUX

CLOUDY 100 LUX

TWILIGHT 10 LUX

DUSK 1 LUX

FULL MOON.1 LUX

QUARTERMOON.O1 LUX

COMPLETE DARK O LUX

SOME HIGH QUALITY SONY CCDS CAN HAVE A GOOD PICTURE DOWNTO .1 LUX ANYTHING BELOW THAT THEYWILL REQUIRE INFRA-RED LED’S TO SEE IN THE DARK THESE ARE CALLED NIGHT VISIONOR IR CAMERAS. INTHE CAMERA SPECS THEYWILL LIST THE AMOUNT OF LED’S WHICH PEOPLE TEND TO USE TO COMPARE LOW LIGHT PERFORMANCE. ACTUALLY THE TYPE OF LED IS MORE IMPORTANT THANTHE QUANTITY OF LED’SSOME LEDS PRODUCE 10 TIMES MORE LIGHT THAN OTHER LED’S.WHILE OTHERS ARE MADE SO THE NAKED EYE CAN’T SEE THE LIGHT BEING EMITTED FROM THEM MAKING THESEBETTER FOR COVERT USE.COMPARING THE AMOUNT OF FEET THE CAMERA ILLUMINATES AND HOW WIDE THE LIGHT SPREADS ISTHE ONLY TRUE WAY TO COMPARE IR CAMERAS.

THE OTHERMISTAKE PEOPLE MAKE IS COMPARING ANON IR CAMERASLUXRATING TO A IR CAMERAS LUX RATING. IN LOW LIGHT ANIR CAMERAS LED’S TURNON AND THE CAMERA CANSEE AS MUCHAS THE LED IR’SILLUMINATE. NORMALLYIN ACHEAPCMOS CAMERA A VAGUE IMAGE IS SEEN OUT TO ABOUT 10 FEET. THISGIVESTHE CAMERAA O LUX RATING BECAUSE IT CANSEE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS BUT ONLYOUT TO ABOUT 10 FEET. A NON IR CAMERAS RATING IS BASED ON WHAT IT CANSEE EVERYWHERE NOT JUST WHAT THE IR’SLIGHT UP AS ONA IR CAMERA. THE TWO RATING CAN NOT BE COMPARED. INACTUALITY THE A CHEAP CMOS CAMERAS LUX RATING ISAROUND 10 LUX WITHOUT THE IR’S ON. THIS MEANS THAT THE SONY CCD CAMERAWITHA .1 LUX RATING ONA NIGHT WITH A FULL MOONWILL SEE HUNDERDS OF FEET AWAY WHILE THE IR CAMERA WILL ONLY SEE WHAT ITSIR’SILLUMINATE WHICH ISONLY ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY. ONLY WHENIT BECOMESCOMPLETE PITCHBLACK DOESTHE IR CAMERA SEE MORE BECAUSETHE SONY CCD CAMERA CAN’T SEE IN COMPLETE DARKNESSBUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT NORCAN ACRIMINAL EITHER


Hopefully y'all find this useful and it saves you from having to buy a few different cameras before finding the right one.
 
Fixed it fo you Huey, that was impossible to read

some high quality sony ccds can have a good picture down to .1 lux anything below that they will require infra-red led’s to see in the dark these are called night vision or ir cameras. in the camera specs they will list the amount of led’s which people tend to use to compare low light performance. actually the type of led is more important than the quantity of led’s some leds produce 10 times more light than other led’s.while others are made so the naked eye can’t see the light being emitted from them making these better for covert use.comparing the amount of feet the camera illuminates and how wide the light spreads is the only true way to compare ir camera

the other mistake people make is comparing anon ir cameras lux rating to a ir cameras lux rating. in low light anir cameras led’s turn on and the camera can see as much as the led ir’s illuminate. normally in a cheap cmos camera a vague image is seen out to about 10 feet. this gives the camera a o lux rating because it cansee in complete darkness but only out to about 10 feet. a non ir cameras rating is based on what it can see everywhere not just what the ir’s light up as on a ir camera. the two rating can not be compared. in actuality the a cheap cmos cameras lux rating is around 10 lux without the ir’s on. this means that the sony ccd camerawith a .1 lux rating ona night with a full moon will see hunderds of feet away while the ir camera will only see what its ir’s illuminate which is only about 10 feet away. only whenit becomes complete pitch black does the ir camera see more because the sony ccd camera can’t see in complete darkness but if you think about it nor can a criminal either

My only concern with this is how many times a night do you take your headphones on and off?

Do you not think one will not get in the way of the other... Could it make mixing awkward? Could it make the video jumpy...

Just thinking practically.

Maybe wearing IEM instead of headphones is the way to go for this application.

 
That's why I first asked about glasses with the camera built-in, lol! I sometimes wear glasses anyways and it's never really been a problem with headphones.

As for making the video jumpy, it's not possible, the converter I use can output 2 signals simultaneously (camera plugged straight into the converter). The camera or it's picture would never touch the laptop.

I was just looking for different things to do at a show which could be fun.

Care to share any ideas GadgetMan?
 
 
 
GoPro will give me about a seven second delay when streamed........ I can deal with a second or two but seven is a lot when it comes to video.
