Smode Net Server

Smode Net Server settings of the Engine preferences

The Network section allows you to setup Smode Server:

Run server allows Smode clients to connect on this Smode instance for remote access or Session sharing.

Address allows you to change the default Smode Server listening port 5186 (useful to comply local network firewall settings).

Address Also allows to change the default listening IP of incoming connections from any IP (0.0.0.0) to a specific one. (useful when multiple network adapters on different subnets are in use, but not recommended when using DHCP).

Disable Per Server Loading active default, this allows Smode Project on an network session to unload all parts of Scene or Pipeline that are not connected to a Video Output in the Pipeline .

This is useful to maintain performances on big project shared on several Smode computers in a network: only the concerned part of the Pipeline are rendered by each computer.

This can be disabled to allow the visualization of all the project on the same computer during design phase.

Enable NDIRemote Viewport this allows your Smode Server to compute the Viewport of remotely connected software and send this video signal inside an NDI pipe.

This default behavior can be disabled to maintain maximum performances during encoding phase.

“Detach From Session” experimental feature allows to avoid the current server to mirror its local change to the other server in the network. This can help during show encoding to work like if the network was offline temporarily.

Note that when On Air all local and network Viewports are mute for best performances.
