Network node
Video Link Receive
Shows live video another Grafit sends with Video Link Send on the local network, transparency included. Pick the stream from the live list (Machine › Stream); the Image works like any other — Canvas, filters, masks, recorders. Decoded on the Mac’s media engine. A lost frame never smears the picture: missing pieces are asked for again at once. Latency Lowest shows the newest frame, Smooth paces frames evenly, Synced shows each frame at the sender’s time + Delay so several screens change together.
Inputs
| Port | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
| StreamMachine › Stream from the live list. Empty takes the first stream on offer; a name without a machine finds that stream anywhere. The choice survives restarts on either side. | string | |
| EnableOff unsubscribes: the sender stops sending to this computer. | bool | true |
| Opacity0–1, multiplies the received image including its transparency. | float | 1 |
| On LossWhen the stream stops: Hold last frame keeps the picture, Transparent clears it. | int | 0 |
| LatencyLowest — always the newest frame. Smooth — frames paced by the sender’s timing (a little later, no judder on Wi-Fi). Synced — each frame at the sender’s time + Delay: several screens on several Macs change together. | int | — |
| DelaySynced only: ms after the sender’s time a frame is shown, 0–5000. Same Delay on every receiver; it must cover network + decode (40–80 ms on a cable, 100+ on Wi-Fi). | float | 100 |
