Syphon Output

Problem

VJs and AV professionals need to route FlexGrid’s output into other applications (Resolume, MadMapper, OBS) via the industry-standard Syphon protocol.

Solution

FlexGrid captures its window content using ScreenCaptureKit, renders to a Metal texture, and publishes it as a Syphon server. Any Syphon client on the same Mac can receive the feed. Toggle with Cmd+Shift+Y.

UI Flow

  1. Press Cmd+Shift+Y or enable via Performance > Syphon Output.
  2. FlexGrid appears as a Syphon source in any compatible client application.
  3. The Syphon indicator appears in the toolbar while active.
  4. Press Cmd+Shift+Y again to stop publishing.

Tier Availability

Pro only. Disabled in Mac App Store builds due to sandboxing restrictions; available in direct-download builds only.

Known Limitations

  • Requires the direct-download (non-App Store) build.
  • ScreenCaptureKit requires screen recording permission on first use.
  • Output resolution matches the FlexGrid window size.
