Right now Syphon really only deals with 8 bit per channel textures and we want to support something with higher bit-depth to get higher fidelity. Apple don’t like one app talking to another app for security reasons.Īnton: Float texture support. One thing we don’t have is a presence in Apple’s App Store but that one is going to be a pain. Tom: Yes, our near term to-dos are OpenGL 3 & 4 support. Tom: The program you’re using is probably unable to render a canvas that size, but Syphon is ready for it. Tom: Yes, but the limit of Syphon is your graphic cards’s texture dimension limit.ĭavid: It’s more than you are actually going to be able to do. I always thought that there was a max size to the Syphon texture, but I heard that’s wrong: it’s decided by the graphics card?ĭavid: The application generating the texture may have a limit. With Thunderbolt 2 there is more bandwidth but still only 10 gig allocated for the network. We’ve thought long and hard about how we could possibly do this. I’ve tried my own solution and it isn’t as good as it needs to be.Īnton: Gigabit ethernet is not really fast enough to pass an uncompressed HD frame. None of them are ideal for large frames and latency is sometimes a problem. There are a few different Max patches and a couple of apps. Tom: There are a few solutions for Syphon over network. Is the traditional hardware video mixer now redundant? Are people already mixing from computer to computer over the network? They have tried Skype a couple of times but they say they don’t really feel the need for seeing and hearing each other. The trio communicates through instant messaging, email and GitHub comments.

David works at Vidvox with the VJ software VDMX, and Tom and Vidvox made the Hap video codec that now works on both OS X and Windows, as well as several other plugins, apps and frameworks that they’ve shared with the public as open source over the years. Many of us are familiar with the trio’s work, but for those who are not: Tom and Anton are the fathers of Syphon, a technology for sharing video in realtime between apps on Macs, as well as the v002 plugins for Quartz Composer. Through the reports they gained appreciation for each other’s coding skills and ended up collaborating. When I ask how they first met, the guys laugh when they realized it was through bug reports.
Tom lives in Scotland and this is actually the third time the three of them have met in person. These guys’ presence was actually my main reason for going to the festival.Īnton and David live in NYC and see each other fairly often. When I visited the Mapping Festival I had the opportunity to sit down with Tom Butterworth ( Bangnoise), Anton Marini ( Vade) and David Lublin ( Vidvox/VDMX).
