Cue Types — Network Video

These cues receive video streams from other software on the same Mac or network.

#Syphon In

Receives a Syphon video stream from another application on the same Mac and displays it on a video output.

• App name: the Syphon server's application name.
• Source name: the specific Syphon output (leave blank to accept any from that app).
• Output: choose which video output slot to display on. The cue holds output until stopped with a Stop cue or PANIC.

#NDI In

Receives an NDI video stream over the network.

• Source name: the NDI source identifier (full or partial name match).
• Output slot: the video output to display on. Same hold-until-stopped semantics as Syphon In.

#Choosing between NDI and Syphon

• Use Syphon when the source is another app on the same Mac (zero network overhead).
• Use NDI when the source is on a different machine or when network distribution is needed.
