SoDA-node

This are the instructions for the installation and use of the SoDA-node application. The installation process will be different between Mac and Windows operating systems.

Installation in Mac operation systems

1. First you will need to download the appropriate version from the Downloads page to your Desktop.
2. Uncompress the .zip file by double clicking on it.
3. Move the uncompressed file (SoDA-node.app) to your Applications folder (optional)
4. Lauch it as you would with any other application and enjoy!

→ (error) If your computer protests that the application is broken / corrupted / or from an unknown developer, you may solve with a little line in your computer Terminal:

1. Open your Terminal application (⌘CMD + SPACEBAR to open Spotlight, then type terminal)
2. Write the following: xattr -cr /Applications/SoDA-node.app

Installation in Windows operation systems

1. First you will need to download the appropriate version from the Downloads page to your Desktop.
2. Uncompress the .zip file by double clicking on it.
3. Lauch it as you would with any other application and enjoy!

Using the SoDA-node application (both operating systems)

Using the program is pretty straightforward. Once the remote server is on (which Adrian will do from the SoDA-pov application),  hit the first button to connect:

Then, the application should show the status "connected" and the toggle "tcp on".

Now, select your participant ID:

If we are going to use audio for the session, make sure to drop the audiofile (.wav, .mp3 etc.) in the rectangle on the right.

You will know that a connection is established with the POV application when your internal SID number appears near your Participant ID. You will also see a red blink at the top corner right whenever 'pinged' by the POV Application.

Set your volume level as you like with the horizontal slider, but make sure to leave the audio ON (the speaker symbol on the left) if we are going to be working with audio.

Recording Audio

In order to record Audio, you need to route it into the Syphon recorder appropriately:

1. Set the systems audio output (Max's audio output seems to be irrelevant) to Soundflower.
2. Set the input audio in Syphon to Soundflower.
3. Set the videos at the sync position (clap) and play
4. Press recording Syphon recorder.
