Txs. Had a look at that post but not sure how this could apply in my case - unless I didn’t understand it. The post talks about a particular sequence of connections and I have tried to first connect to the Apple TV via AirPlay (main output=Apple TV) and then connect the DDJ-SB3. As soon as I do that the main output changes from Apple TV to the DDJ out ch. 1-2 (ch. 3-4 for pre-cueing) and AirPlay goes off.
I have tried to capture my setup in the following diagram. The DDJ-SB3 is connected via an original Apple USB connector; the connector has a second port to charge the iPad. The DDJ-SB3 main out connects to a Behringer audio interface powered via a laptop. The audio out from the Behringer goes to the AVR. Apple TV is on the same Wifi network as the iPad and mirrors via AirPlay.
No matter what I do as soon as I stream to the Apple TV the main out in djay PRO AI reverts to the Apple TV and I can’t switch back to the DDJ. There’s an option Split Output for pre-cueing which is not relevant in my case as I don’t use a splitter cable.
I’m using the internal mixer mode given I connect to the DDJ-SB3. If I switch to external mixer mode while AirPlay is on I don’t get any options for routing of decks 1-4 or pre-cueing.
The iPad connector also has a HDMI out I could use to connect the TV but the distance between TV and iPad makes this impossible/impractical. What if I want to use a projector? The AirPlay route is very attractive and opens up a lot of possibilities but may not be feasible given the challenges on audio routing.
Yeah even if if works on a Mac that doesn’t help me unfortunately
I’m waiting to hear back from a user commenting on this video Djay Pro AI Music Video Tutorial - YouTube where he described he used AirPlay to an Apple TV connected to the HDMI sound booth which was away from the DJ booth. I wonder how he got this to work; or maybe he ran the set without the pre-cue channel which is hard to believe
Ok. I tried a HDMI connection as well but I get the same behaviour; i.e. once HDMI is plugged in the main output goes to HDMI and there are no options to select the DDJ. Is that the same in your case?
I’m afraid not. I suspect Airplay routes the complete signal (video + audio, using OS functionality) and in that case there’s nothing Algo can do about it.
Well if that’s the case then it’s not useful beyond adding to the app’s spec sheet as you can’t really use it without having access to the cue channel etc.
Also the lack of responses probably indicates this is not really used… Great piece of software otherwise
I would love it if Algoriddim could at least respond with possible use cases for this video mode.
I might also post this on an Apple forum to confirm this…
@Alyx It’s hard to believe in the only person that has ever tried the video out via Apple AirPlay. All info I get so far is it’s not possible what I’m trying to do.
If so would appreciate a formal confirmation from Algoriddim
