Use capture with blinderKitten

This procedure is ONLY for capture 2023 or older. for capture 2024 or higher, you just need to set 127.0.0.1 in the artnet interface's remote host

This version allows you to edit and save projects but only few fixtures are available

Capture can't listen artnet on 127.0.0.1. To connect blinderkitten to capture, you'll have to install a virtual netword card :

right click on window start menu icon and select Device manager. Device manager window will immediately open (or you may use any other way how to open device manager window)
click on Action, and select Add legacy hardware
click Next on welcome screen
choose "Install the hardware that i manually select from a list" and click on Next
scroll down and select Network adapters from offered common hardware types and click on Next
select Microsoft as the manufacturer, and then select Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback adapter card model, click on Next
click on Next
click on Finish

now that your new network adapter is installed, you have to define manually an IP address :

Open Control Panel
Click “View Network status and tasks” under the “Network and Internet” heading
Right click on your adapter and press “Properties”
Select “Internet Protocol Version 4” from the list and press “Properties” again
Manually assign an IP address. We recommend using 192.168.123.45 as IP address and 255.255.255.0 as subnet mask

Now in capture, you can select your loopback adapter in the options -> connection menu for artnet

In blinderkitten, you have to create an interface with artnet and fill you loopback ip address in ouput's remote host
