    Hi,

    it would be great if localHost could be used as sACN input source.

    best regards,

    Nicolas

    Hi,

    It can, but it's in the nature of sACN to require a router since it's based on multicast.

    thank you for your answer.

    I meant multicasting using 127.0.0.1

    That's not a thing though, it's not technically possible. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address for a list of valid multicast group addresses.

    maybe I'm wrong... but nothing prevent to use localHost card to multicast data.

    madMapper is doing that, D::Light is doing that

    Hi,

    is it something you'll consider? We are starting to work with Capture and do not want to switch on Wifi card ... Also sometimes there's no RJ 45 adaptators plugged to the computer... using localhost (not as a multicast address but as an IP to bind to) is a nice solution.

    best regards,
