Is it possible?

Hello,

I'm working on an interactive, that involves projecting from a source from a web URL. Is it possible to use madmapper to project a source from online? What i'm hoping to do, is crop a section of the screen using mad mapper, so the projector only projects what I'd like to show. Is this something I can accomplish? I can provide more details if needed.

I'm sure there's a syphon tool that can capture web and send it to madmapper

On Windows, vMix is able to capture each tab of your browser and stream it to NDI (or something like that). On macOS I suppose NDI screen / browser capture is possible.
For Syphon (macOS) I suppose the good one is https://macdownload.informer.com/screencapturesyphon/
But I also see this project (I have not tested): https://github.com/glowbox/ChromeSyphon

Great, thank you so much. I hate to ask, but what is "NDI" ? So basically using a screen capture software, I could potentially import into MadMapper. Do you happen to know of any documentation on using a screen syphon or screen capture with madmapper? I've only briefly used the software and i'm still learning it. Thanks again for your responses, I really appreciate it.

It allows for video streaming between a sender and a receiver with minimal latency and maximum quality.
MadMapper can both send and receive NDI.
