Getting processing to display on a remote display device?

in Integration and Hardware • 2 years ago

Hi,

I poked around the wiki, did some searches, and didn't find an answer to this question. We have a display device that is on a remote piece of hardware, it's not on the local host processing would execute run on. The general idea would be to take the framebuffer and bitblit it on over to the remote site using hardware specific means.

Any ideas on how this might be done? Any pointers to the appropriate resources?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

You mention hardware, it should be a hint this belongs to Integration & Hardware, not Processing Implementations. Moved.

And even if I am not a specialist of hardware, your question seems too broad to be answered, since we have no idea of the capabilities of your hardware. You could use X11-like communication of screen update, TCP/IP network to send bytes of image, or whatnot.

I guess I'm asking how does one integrate in a new display into processing just in general? The display will need to be sent via UDP to a networked device, but where to even start with such a thing isn't clear.

Go to the Libraries page and search UDP, perhaps...

Looking at /processing/core/src/processing/core/PGraphics2D.java it seems the java.awt classes are used, so it's not a processing thing at all, it's java issue. Duh. Well that's a direction at least.

thanks
