Network messaging
LightAct has integrated various network messaging protocols such as OSC, TCP, UDP and TUIO. In general, the workflow is very similar for all of them. First, we are going to set up everything in the Devices window and then proceed to the setup in a Layer layout.

Setup in Devices window

In order to create the device node, right-click on the Device window and choose a device under the Network category.

Setup in Layer Layouts

In order to create the layer node, right-click on the Layer window and choose a node under the Network category.
In the next chapters, we will go through the workflow for each device.
