How do I send touch information from one VPR show file so it can be read as touch input to another VPR on a separate Ventuz box?

I've enabled TUIO in the Ventuz Configuration on both machines, left them both on the same port (3333) and added a multicast address 230.230.230.231 to both but that doesn't solve the problem. I can happily send X/Y touch co-ordinates via OSC (using Touch Ripple nodes), but that doesn't help me as I'd like to draw on the sending machine and have this replicated with the Touch Paint node on the receiving machine...

I realise I am probably missing something painfully simple and hope someone can help point me in the right direction!

Hi !

Make sure that you configured your machines correctly:

And both machines must have the same GroupID > 0!
The 'Touch-Server' should also be the Clusterclock-Server having the lower ID configured.

Thanks Karol, but I still can't get this to work...

On both machines the Ventuz Configuration has TUIO enabled, port set to 3333 and multicast address as 230.230.230.231. Both machines have GroupID of 1 and the sender machine has a lower ID than the receiver machine... given the links you provided above, I'm wondering if perhaps I need cluster licensing for this to work, or perhaps I have to explicitly tell the sender to output TUIO somehow within the scene? At the moment I'm just trying to get this to work with a simple Touch Paint node in both VPRs...

Yes, you need a Cluster license for this application scenario!

Thanks - I thought that might be the case.
