Utility node

Syphon In

Pulls a live video feed straight out of another app publishing over the macOS Syphon protocol — OBS, Resolume, TouchDesigner — with no re-encoding. Great for bringing a camera feed or another VJ tool into Infinite's node graph.

What it does

Syphon In is a utility node: it routes signals in and out of Infinite or sets up the canvas. It has no input and gives picture out, so it starts a chain.

Try it

Pipe your webcam through OBS, then Syphon it in and cut yourself out with Remove Background.
