ScreenCaptureSyphon - techlife.sg

ScreenCaptureSyphon shares a whole or a part of your screen, or a whole or a part of window as Syphon, and can send the video played area to another application as video. PowerPoint, Keynote as well as materials on browser such as Flash contents (YouTube etc.), and site contents etc. in WebGL can be shared as Syphon. Not to mention, our TCPSyphon allows users to transfer data with less delay to another machine.

After restart it will be built-in on your menu bar. Clicking the resident icon like snap shot above shows a menu.
There are 2 modes which give different behaviors depending on Follow Cursor Mode: on/off. In case of on at Follow Cursor Mode, mouse cursor selection including peripheral area is transferred. You can change a size of mouse cursor synthesized or into hidden on a menu of Mouse Cursor.
In case of off at Follow Cursor Mode, selected area with Capture Source is transferred. At default your current screen is set as selected area.

The menu list on Capture Source differs from displayed windows. Screen lists currently connected screens as a whole. If you need to share a part of screens, select it here. To capture image after a window locked, choose a relevant window from a menu except Screen.
Frame rate for capturing can be selected on Setting. Since there is limitation on frame rate due to CPU performance, you can utilize it as reference scale totally.

TIPS: Retina having high resolution could become very huge load on your machine. As far as possible you choose a window on your screen other than Retina because extremely high resolutions of screen burden the CPU processing. So we recommend you to use an adequate resolution onto targeted image or a machine with powerful CPU.

TIPS: Snipping out a part of screen is lower burden than capturing it with a locked window. You can avoid the latter when you require the higher frame rate. Merits in case of capturing a locked window have no influence relating to unnecessary windows movement or other windows’s crossover.
