Spout and Syphon

Spout and Syphon are technologies that allow applications to share frames - full frame rate video or stills - with one another in real-time. With Spout and Syphon, you can use Videosync in combination with other tools like Resolume, VDMX or MadMapper. Videosync can output its video via Spout and Syphon, as well as receive video through both.

Spout and Syphon outputs​

Videosync can output the Main track's video, as well as the Return tracks' videos, via Spout and Syphon. This can be enabled under the Spout/Syphon Video Output section on the Video tab of the Settings window, and allows for outputting up to 13 different textures simultaneously to any other Spout/Syphon enabled application.
