# 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

You can download the student version of capture here :  [https://www.capture.se/Downloads/Download-Capture#student](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 :&#x20;

* right click on window start menu icon and select _**Device manage**_&#x72;. 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 :&#x20;

* Open Control Panel&#x20;
* Click “View Network status and tasks” under the “Network and Internet” heading&#x20;
* Right click on your adapter and press “Properties”
* Select “Internet Protocol Version 4” from the list and press “Properties” again&#x20;
* 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
