I can highly recommend Coollab after testing it!
๐Ÿ’ซโœจ๐ŸŒŸโญโญ
It seems for me similar to Resolume Wire, but A) it's free and open source๐Ÿ™, and B) it's available for Windows, OSX, and Linux๐Ÿ‘.
It was easy to install on my Windows desktop and runs flawlessly๐Ÿฅณ.
It doesn't require much explanation ๐Ÿคas long as you have some litle experience with node systems and real-time video, ๐Ÿฃbut I think it's very easy to access even for beginners.

My recommendation is also due to the fact that the developer is open to suggestions for extensions, and so a SpoutOut (sender) implementation is expected soon. This would be the ideal way to integrate the results of Coollab into other VJ applications and process them further, such as in to Resolume-Arena/Avenue. Syphon and then NDI should follow. First, however, as far as I understand the developer, there will be some bug fixes and minor adjustments.

Yours, bennoH.๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™‹ & ๐Ÿฟ๏ธ๐Ÿฟ๏ธ๐Ÿฟ๏ธ๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

What you are suggesting is just an emergency solution for the worst case!!

& Your suggestet solution may be true for you personally, so it's fin for yourself, but the consumption of resources is so much higher in difrend positions and does not compare the advantages that a native spout-out (sender) offers in any form.

So please, you know this for yourself very well!

& In my opinion, a clean spout-out (sender) implementation is the very first task of a developer of a real-time video program for VJing. It's that simple!! OK?!

(no further comment on my part to that)

But thank you for your kind attention!
