TOUCH OUT realtime compression?

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hello!

i try to stream multiple cameras over TOUCH OUT/IN TOPs to a central PC.
but the traffic amount is really huge!

my question: does the output of a MOVIE OUT TOP, that compresses a H264 mov, route the compressed movie-stream to a TOUCH OUT TOP? or does the real time processing of the MOVIE OUT TOP not inflict the movie stream? this info would be important, before i buy a commercial license…

are there any other methods to reduce the bitrate of the TOUCH OUT/IN chops?
(overall there will be 7 streams going into touch (SD))

thnx&

The TouchIn/Out nodes are entirely uncompressed right now. I’ve been thinking about adding HAP Q as a compression method, but that isn’t implemented yet. They are unrelated to the Movie Out TOP.

thnx for the answer, so i get it right:
there is no possibility to get an compressed video stream in TD jet?

Correct, there is no built in way right now.
