9.6 Network Streamer

The network streamer sends the poses of the active window (playback or real-time), both UDP and TCP

are supported by the network streamer. The UDP Protocol is unidirectional, and contrary to TCP

(Transmission Control Protocol, RFC 793) it is stateless and does not require the receiver to answer

incoming packets. This allows greater speed.

You can use a network monitor on another or same PC to receive this stream, or write your own receiver

in another application.

Change network streaming settings in Options >Preferences >Miscellaneous >Network Streamer.

To enable streaming, activate the ‘Enable network streaming’ checkbox. The receiving network address

can be entered in ‘Destination addresses’. Use ‘localhost’ to send/receive on the same computer. UDP

is the default protocol. To stream using TCP, it is important to specify this in the destination address, for

example: tcp://127.0.0.1:9763 or tcp://localhost:9763.

It is possible to stream to multiple destination addresses.
