Use capture with blinderKitten

You can download the student version of capture here : https://www.capture.se/Downloads/Download-Capture#student

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

Connect BlinderKitten to capture on the same windows computer

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
