b3LAB
Small, robust bridges between the tools you already use. b3LAB connects the awkward gaps between realtime visuals, post-production hosts, audio-reactive control, virtual camera output, and final delivery — without capture-card detours, screen-share loops, cloud tools, or bloated all-in-one systems. Built from real live, video, post, and realtime production friction — one focused macOS utility per gap, with documented limits, tested workflows, and practical fallbacks for real production use.
// SIGNAL CHAIN
What b3LAB connects.
Four bridges across the awkward gaps between live, post, presence, and delivery. Use one tool where the workflow breaks — or stack the full chain.
Routing
Realtime apps → Post tools
Route Syphon and NDI sources directly into DaVinci Resolve and Resolve Studio, Assimilate Scratch, and LiveFX. No capture-card detour, no export loop.
Control
Audio → Visual control
Turn mic, file, or soundtrack input into 52 structured OSC values for TouchDesigner, Resolume, MadMapper, Synesthesia, VDMX, Max.
Presence
Syphon / NDI → Camera output
View, multiview, correct, record, and expose live visual sources as a system-wide virtual camera for Zoom, Teams, Safari, FaceTime, OBS.
Delivery
Rendered output → Show assets
Batch-create HAP, ProRes, HEVC, H.264, WebM, image sequences, and audio masters locally — no CLI, no cloud, no telemetry.

// PRODUCTS
Four tools. One signal chain.
Each tool sits at a clear point in the b3LAB signal chain — control, routing, presence, and delivery. Use one where the workflow breaks, or connect the full chain.
b3LAB – Presence Layer
b3WebCam+ early access
Virtual Camera & Live Signal Router · every signal in (Syphon · NDI · OMT · any camera · SDI/HDMI via Blackmagic) → virtual camera + NDI/OMT/Syphon/SDI-HDMI out · multiview · live timeline review (Resolve/Premiere/AE) · App + Extension + OFX & Adobe plugin · Free 2fps · Pro full · macOS · €49 EA
A virtual camera and a live signal router. Take in any signal — Syphon · NDI · OMT · any macOS camera or SDI/HDMI capture (Blackmagic) · file — switch & multiview, then send everywhere at once: a system-wide virtual camera for Zoom, Teams, Safari, FaceTime, OBS, plus NDI · OMT · Syphon and SDI/HDMI out (Blackmagic DeckLink). Or drop the OFX on a Resolve clip, or send the Premiere Pro / After Effects video output, and write straight into b3WebCam+, no app needed. The payoff: play your Resolve grade or Premiere / AE edit straight into a FaceTime, Zoom or Teams call and run client review & sign-off live from the timeline — no export, no upload. Built-in recorder (ProRes / H.264 / HEVC). Out paths are Pro.
