Moderator Morgan Wong Posted March 19, 2020 Moderator Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 you can send "value" to Watchout through tcp/ip command. to control such as position, scale, opacity, color value...etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeteng Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm afraid I need more interactive request,so the best way is link unity to Watchout. Still cannot find a good solution 😂 spout is not support by Watchout 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeteng Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 spout is a plugin for all kinds of mapping software such as ARENA,VENTUZ,Madmapper.Basically you can output camera view to "spout" in unity,and ask the mapping software to show "spout",so that the mapping content can interact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Morgan Wong Posted March 20, 2020 Moderator Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 how about output using NDI? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Josef Swanberg Posted March 20, 2020 Moderator Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 The drawback with spout is that it would have to run on the actual display computer that is running our display software, and that could have a negative effect on performance. Also, you would not be able to share the spout image, to render on more than one media server. However, when using NDI, the image can be rendered on a separate computer in the network, and shared to several media servers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member matkeane Posted March 20, 2020 Member Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I never got around to testing it, but I downloaded this spout-nidi utility a while back (Doesn't look like the site got their certificate sorted for https access, but the links still work if you edit to use http). http://spout.zeal.co/download-spout-to-ndi/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfbergmann Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Syphon is the Mac equivalent to Sprout, and I have had great success running various applications on a Mac outputting to Syphon, then using a software Syphon to NDI adapter and bringing that into Watchout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesemann Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I would go with NDI anytime. Check out OBS, which supports NDI as well. Use it as a Mixer for sources before going into Watchout. REALLY great. And free, on top of it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
