OSC CONNECTIVITY

OSC Connectivity

From the Connectivity / OSC window it is possible to adjust the OSC input and output parameters.

ABOUT OSC

Open Sound Control (OSC) is a protocol for communication between computers, music synthesizers and other multimedia devices, inspired by modern network technology.

The protocol has some advantages such as the independance of the transmission medium and the flexibility to transport any type of data.

OSC can be transported by various protocols, but UDP is commonly used.
LightShark can receive OSC commands from the wired network interface and from the wireless network interface.

OSC PROTOCOL

To configure the OSC connection between two programs it is necessary to set the input/output ports correctly. The input port of LightShark must have the same value as the output port of the software sending the OSC commands.
