SyphonInject
SyphonInject is a video utility for macOS that works with the Syphon protocol, a framework for sharing video between applications in real-time. It is primarily used by video artists, live performers, VJ software creators, and creative technologists who need to route video output between multiple applications — for example, sending video from a media server or synthesizer into compositing software, or distributing a live feed to multiple processing chains. Syphon is particularly popular in the audiovisual and interactive art communities.

1 suggestionSyphonInject has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer actively maintained. According to the Roaring Apps database, the app has reached end-of-life status. There is no native Apple Silicon build being developed or shipped for this project, and an Intel-only build will cease to function once Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you rely on Syphon video routing, contact the developer of your primary application (media server, VJ software, synthesizer, etc.) to ask whether they can send video via Syphon to a different client that has been updated for Apple Silicon — applications like TouchDesigner, Resolume, Derivative Houdini, and others in the creative audiovisual space have shipped native builds. Alternatively, explore platform-agnostic video-routing solutions such as NDI (Network Device Interface), which works natively on Apple Silicon Macs and is widely supported in modern media software.
