Standalone
Updated: 22 Jul 2024
Standalone
From Notch Builder you can export your project directly to Standalone Executable files, to run projects as a Windows Application. This is ideal for fixed installs, kiosks, and other simple installations where the features of a media server are not required.
Licensing #
To run Standalone without a watermark, you need to have exported from Notch Builder RFX and have an active Notch Playback license on the playback machine. RFX can be used as a Playback license up to a resolution of 3840x2160.
Should I use Standalone? #
Standalone is not a media server replacement. You should definitely consider using Notch Blocks in a media server when doing any of the following:
- Outputting to multiple heads
- Playing back videos (Standalone has very limited video playback capabilities)
- Capturing multiple streams of video
- Projection mapping
- Complex integrations with stage automation
- Feed mapping
- Chasing timecode or other sophisticated timeline control
Features #
- Receive Network Editing from Notch Builder
- Notch Remote
- ArtNet / OSC / MIDI Data protocols
- Transport control through ArtNet / OSC (limited) / Keyboard
- Video capture via DirectShow or Media Foundation (Support for 4 inputs)
- Depth Camera support through Kinect
