Installation
The utility programs do not require an installation program. Download SPOUT_2007-015.zip below and extract to any convenient folder. This will result in a "SPOUT-2007" folder with two sub-folders :
- Settings
- SpoutSettings - a program to select settings for Spout
- SpoutPanel - a sender selection dialog that can be used by Spout receivers
- Batch files for manual registration and setup
- Demonstration programs
- Sender and receiver demonstration programs
Setup
- Open "SpoutSettings" to establish registry settings for Spout applications.
The individual Help buttons at right provide details for each setting. - Refer to "spout-setup.pdf" for instructions and for more details.
Manual setup
"spout-settings.bat" can be used for Spout registration if required.
- Update - review and update settings
- Reset - reset to defaults
- Remove - remove all Spout settings
Demonstration programs
The demonstration programs are basic Sender and Receiver. Their purpose is to determine whether the system is compatible with Spout texture sharing. These programs should used first to establish compatibility.
Advanced demonstration program
An advanced version of the demonstration programs based on Openrameworks is hosted in a separate repository. Both sender and receiver can be built from the same source files. Pre-built programs can be downloaded from the latest Release. The receiver includes full screen display for multiple monitors, image adjustment using high speed shaders and video recording by way of FFmpeg.
Developers
- SpoutDX12 and SpoutDX9 libraries are included in the CMake build.
- Examples are updated with OpenGL Windows applications which can be built
without requiring a dependent framework. - A single Visual Studio solution file now contains all the DirectX examples.
- A new "Utilities" example shows the capabilities of "SpoutMessageBox" in SpoutUtils.
Source code changes are documented in updates.md. Binaries for libraries and examples can be downloaded as a separate file below. If you see errors about missing DLL’s for the examples, install the Visual Studio runtime. Spout programs are 64-bit, download the X64 version.
