I’m working on my portability requirements for my studio setup.
I wanted to setup an sACN address so I can record the DMX data to help with having to run too many resource hungry applications on the same host (TouchDesigner, MadMapper, Unreal 5).
One option is to use TWO to help with this use case and stage the recording from one application to another as an interim process within my workflow. It’s also useful for debugging so I can replay the same scene on a loop, if I can record this data in a timeline.
I’m doing this for OSC data and is proving really useful, especially if the source data is another host and you don’t have to carry additional hardware around when traveling. Or be able to record the output from my studio on a remote session and sync transfer the file to my laptop when on the move.
I created a namespace but I cannot see any incoming data from my source MadMapper.
Is there anything else I need to consider please?
They are both running on the same host, Universe 2
I’ve tested TWO’s sACN playback with sACNView on Windows, perhaps you can use that as an intermediate step to see why MadMapper and TWO don’t communicate?
sACNView can easily be configured to receive sACN, so you can use it instead of TWO to monitor what MadMapper is sending.
I also used a command-line application while developing, to generate sACN data that I could record, the SACNSourceExample that is included with the ETC sACN library SDK. With that said, I wouldn’t recommend using it if you’re not a dev, since to run it you have to be familiar with C++ building.
I should test with MadMapper myself to test the sACN integration with TWO!
If you have a project file you’d like to share do send it and I’ll use it as a starting point, I have a MadMapper license from a previous collaboration.
Thanks for the update and apologies for the delay, trying to fix an audio issue and took some time to find it. Also having to rebuild the laptop in the process.
Let me take a look at the tool and see if I can get it working or provide more details.
