Im really pleased to announce the first public beta of Syphon, which lets various audio/video environments share video in realtime. We have implementations for Jitter, Quartz Composer, FreeFrameGL and Unity Pro, and know of some exciting announcements from commercial app developers who are integrating new products and designing products around Syphon.

Syphon for Jitter will allow you to push matrices and jit.gl.textures to any supported Syphon application, or receive textures from any Syphon server on your system. This means Jitter Unity, Quartz Composer hosts, FFGL hosts, and other apps and implementations as they become available.

Think of it as a send / receive pair across applications, for video, or 'soundflower' for video if you like.

Just to give an idea of performance, I am able to share 4K frames (jit.noise 1 4096 2048) to Quartz Composer and test applications (simultaneously) at over 40fps, on the GPU, on my laptop.

Thanks for making this available to everyone Anton.

I've been fortunate enough to test this with Jitter and Quartz Composer; it does exactly what it's supposed to (and very well!)

Thank you.. it will allow so much new possibilities

It makes my day.


Really great!! thanx a lot vade and Tom.


Very exciting! Looking forward to checking this out.

We just got a nice OpenFrameworks bridge working too, and Cinder is on the way. :) Should be fun.

thanx vade and syphon team for this great work !

is it possible to share an gl output between two

it would be realy great, if someone can write an virtual quicktime videoinput

component, which uses the syphon server content.

so, we could use every applications which allows us to use a quicktime videoinput with one extention.

(like modul8, Resolume Avenue, grandVj ... )

Modul8 works for receiving via Quartz Composer if you use KinemeCore 'safe' loading hack. Search the Garagecube forums. Resolume Avenue works now with the FFGL plugin. Grand VJ works now with the Quartz Composer plugin last I checked.

Multiple GPU should work, IOSurface (the api underneath Syphon) should handle it auto-magically, assuming both GPUs are active (have displays enabled, known as "online"). Otherwise both host applications need to have special pixel format specifications to use 'offline renders'. Have you tried it?

As far as a QT Component, I've looked into it, its messy, and I *suspect* things will be changed in 10.7 anyway. Im more than happy to let someone else tackle QT 7 video digitizers. Also, the digitizer would circumvent the GPU, thus rendering the speed advantages of Syphon mostly moot.

Hey folks, I noticed that this thread is a little old. I am exploring the possibility of using cinder and jitter together.

Does syphon support cinder? Is there a better was to use cinder in max (i.e. cinder external) ?

by the way: are there plans or any concepts for windows?

where do I download the jitter stuff for Syphon?

https://github.com/Syphon/Jitter/releases/

Hello, please could you tell me how I can change the Syphon Resolution ?

I explain : I want to use a jit.window to have my "feedback video" (to check everything's ok) at 800x600, but I want fullscreen resolution for my second screen/video-projector ; or just change his resolution to 1920x1080. How can it be ?

capture using jit.gl.node @capture 1 @adapt 0 @dim 1920 1080 (or the highest resolution you want to display). for the lower resolution simply send this through a jit.gl.texture @adapt 0 @dim 800 600 before sending to syphon .

Thank you for teaching me the jit.gl.node.

But what I wanted to do is getting everything calcuted on HD, but that the jit.window is displayed on my first screen computer in a smaller "box" (everytime i stretched the box, it resize the output of the syphon, of course).

My problem is : I use jit.window on my computer to see what I do, and I send it by Syphon to get in Madmapper for output (second screen/videoprojector).

BUT when I use 1920x1080 (or sometimes 2400x600), I got a huge jit.window, and I can't see all what I do (of course). So I wish have a smaller box on my first screen, but without changing the HD resolution.

My problem is : I use jit.window on my computer to see what I do, and I send it by Syphon to get in Madmapper for output (second screen/videoprojector). 

I'm not good at this Max Msp Jitter stuff. I've been trying to figure this out and I simply can't. I hope you wizards can help me.

I would like to record the final jit.gl.render output into a mov. file with sound through syphon record. How do I do this?! I need someone to kindly explain to me this task step by step, because I literally have half a brain.

I have syphon server/client/record ready to go. I've been successful at connecting the jit.gl.node 2nd outlet to a mesh in other examples and see it in the syphon record. But this time, I want to record the whole output out of jit.gl render. I am attaching a patch made by Sem Schreuder. I have attached the syphon object but is not connected because I've tried all the options my brain could think of.

2. Do I need a jit.gl.slab to flip the image? I do not know java and do not know how to code.

3. How do I record a mov. file from jit.gl.render. As far as I understand, jit.gl.node 2nd outlet only works with 3D objects. But what if the output I want to record from is not a 3D object. This patch is complex (for me) and if I connect the jit.gl.node 2nd outlet to the jit.gl.gridshape it skips the jit.gl.texture and I am sure it skips a few other objects.

This question is not for this patch but it happens with syphon

4. Sometimes, when I connect the jit.gl.node 2nd outlet to jit.gl.mesh I lose the output of jit.window, but I can see it in the syphon output. Why?

I'm sorry, I know these are a lot of questions but otherwise I won't learn.

i have some of these and other questions about syphon, as well: output disappears at times + in general, adding syphon to my patch has lowered the resolution/ creates a jittery image/ more jagged lines etc (also with high_res dim etc)

Just a note to anyone playing with this and not seeing the sender selection dialog box pop up - The spout receiver clip needs to be selected in order for the pop up to appear (notice in the video above I select the cell before clicking select sender). Tested and working on 4.1.8! Have fun! seeing :
