You’ll need a composite to component convertor for that, as the cortex only has component input.
Ideally you could use one of the Cortex Output Expanders folks are offering to do it.

this works great with the output expander mentioned above otherwise I’m not sure that you will get it to happen

The weird thing is that I do get a B+W image when sending VC’s component output back into its component input. If only it was color, problem solved!
And I’m a little wary of operating on my Visual Cortex. I’m not even a licensed optometrist

I feel you on that! I had a couple issues with my visual cortex that I was sending it in for anyway and LZX HQ did the modification for me

does anyone get jittering with the memory palace?
I seem to be getting a lot of shaking and jittering when things like mirroring and tile are on
am I missing something?

i get this sort of artifact frequently! often time it goes away after power cycling!
I get this somewhat frequently as well and have to power cycle to get rid of it.
Are any of y’all getting jittering using the auxiliary barrel power?
Yes, I’m on barrel power and get this sometimes. Sometimes also just what looks like complete loss of sync, like the image drops out for a moment. I would agree that the jitter seems more common when mirror is engaged. My sync chain is VC -> Diver -> MP -> Prismatic Ray, in a Vessel case. Latest MP firmware (2.0.1). I’m taking output from MP’s first composite out straight into a consumer CRT.

I can try powering through the barrel if that is preferable but I’m currently just using the built in power from a vessel case
I went in to the studio to drop a couple things off and tried the power cycling out and sometimes it would seems stable at first and then start jittering about 30 seconds in or after I start messing with controls on the MP.
my sync is going from (internal sync) visual cortex > escher sketch > memory palace > side of vessel case > structure (terminated)
I’m also on the newest firmware and am taking a composite output from memory palace and a RGB feed through the visual cortex on composite and component
I have the jittering also mostly noticeable in patches there you are using video coming into VC and then going into MP for keying and feedback…It it more and more noticeable the closer the zoom function is centered for a slow feedback zoom out. I have tried both barrel and pro power and doesn’t seam to affect it.
yes power is coming from the auxiliary barrel in combination with the new lzx power source
I have two Memory Palaces and jitter is a persistent problem on both. I’ve tested isolated case power with supplement 12V adapter and results were the same. I have found that mirror and tile mode makes the jitter worse but it’s there on all modes when using images. I have to do some more tests with rgba input, but I think it’s there too. I’ve just been working with it. But seems like a firmware bug to be squashed to me. When I first got one I was convinced some of my sliders were faulty, in particular the rotation function seems to jitter the most. I can’t keep a straight line on the bottom on an image. X and Y or the mesh maybe also slightly jittering, but it doesn’t seem to be sliders since it happens on both of mine. I never used v18 but was it more stable for folks that have the jitter and experience with v18?

feeling much better about this now as I thought I was alone!
I don’t remember it on v18 but I was also so thrilled to be doing things like this that I wasn’t paying attention
looking back at that video in particular I see no shaking however it is paint mode rather than warp mode.
alright so a couple more issues
-
when using the freeze button each time you press it on the MP a new “freeze” is taken.
If you use the gate input selector to choose freeze and then send a signal to that input it only freezes once and then you have to clear before the next “freeze” can happen. I used the escher sketch to test this. -
I’m getting some kind of noise only coming from MP outputs (both the composite and svideo). It is in a vessel case with a visual cortex which doesn’t see the same noise on its outputs.
here is a short video showing the issue
I don’t have any feedback going on in my LZX patching (some in the video mixer) but even with that off it still shows up.
it is kind of difficult to see it here but if you look at the big areas of color you see lots of small horizontal lines running all along the screen.
I’ll have to get a picture with a camera I think to best illustrate the noise. I will also try un patching the memory palace (just using a built in still with some CV going to several inputs) to see if it persists.
I’m going to try powering it from the AUX power on the vessel maybe that will help.
Hi friends,
I am posting today to see if any other V19 users have had trouble using the orange button to enter the AUX settings in the slider submenu. When I enter this menu, it briefly displays the activity of the AUX input, but I cannot leave the menu without powercycling.
That’s an odd issue. I’m not having the issue using V2.0.1. You could try resetting defaults and then upgrading to the new BETA if resetting doesn’t work.
