PRG Mbox - Displaying Syphon Input on a Layer; A Note about Syphon Output

147
MBOX® USER MANUAL
Guidelines:
+ Mbox Designer has a limit of 12 Syphon inputs.
+ When the Mbox application launches, it will assign any non-congured Syphon inputs to the next available index
number. If no index number is reserved for an input and more then one Syphon source is available then the source
may not necessarily be attached to the same index number as the last time the Mbox application launched.
+ Syphon inputs are received at the same size they are rendering in the source application.
Displaying Syphon Input on a Layer
Syphon inputs are recalled on a playback layer just like other 2D media, using a Folder.File number to select them. The
table below relates the Syphon source index numbers to the media folder and le that are assigned to the input:
A Note About Syphon Output
Mbox can also use Syphon to output video to other Syphon-aware applications on the same computer (e.g.
MadMapper). In this way, Mbox’s output can be used as an input to the other application, perhaps for further
manipulation, 3D mapping, effects, etc.
The Syphon output from Mbox works automatically. The Mbox application creates and advertises its Syphon sources,
making them available to other application. Simply launch the other application, look for Syphon sources, then select
the desired source.
Mbox Designer creates one Syphon source for each layer, each mix, and each output.
