Syphon for Open Frameworks, Public Beta 2 About Syphon is a system for sending video between applications. You can use it to send high resolution and high frame rate video, 3D textures and synthesized content between your openFrameworks application other applications and environments. Syphon for openFrameworks includes one add-on with two new objects, ofxSyphonClient & ofxSyphonServer. ofxSyphonClient - brings frames from other applications into openFrameworks wrapped in an ofTexture, which can be bound and drawn like any ofTexture. ofxSyphonServer - allows ofTextures and the whole GLUT scene to be named and published to the system, so that other applications which support Syphon can use them. Licensing Syphon for Open Frameworks is published under a Simplified BSD license. See the included License.txt file. Requirements Mac OS X 10.6.4 or greater Open Frameworks 007 or better Installation Install ofxSyphon in the addons folder of your openFrameworks installation. Install the sample project SyphonExample into the apps/addonExamples folder of your openFrameworks installation. Instructions To add ofxSyphon to your project, you need to drag the ofxSyphon addon folder into your project (like any other OF add-on). Consult SyphonExample to see how ofxSyphon works. Remember to add a copy build phase to a new project that contains the Syphon framework.
