Codecs

Codecs decide how TSMP data is represented as pixels.

For normal users, this page is intentionally simple: start with Luma4, make the scene work, then tune texture transport if needed.

Luma4​

Luma4 is the default codec included with TSMP. Use it first unless you have a specific reason to change the texture transport path.

Luma4 is a good starting point because:

  • The sample prefab is set up around it.
  • It is the baseline path used for troubleshooting.
  • It avoids extra package decisions while you are validating the scene.
  • It is expected by the user-facing setup guides.

Selecting Luma4​

  1. Open TSMPSetup.
  2. Go to the Codec tab.
  3. Choose the Luma4 handler.
  4. Click Apply Setup.

Sender and receiver must use compatible Luma4 settings. If the sender writes with one codec and the receiver decodes with another, the header or payload may appear damaged.

If the decoded frame fails​

Before changing advanced settings, check:

  • The encoded region is not scaled or filtered.
  • OBS or camera output is not applying color correction.
  • The receiver is reading the correct input texture.
  • The full TSMP frame is visible, including the header area.
  • Header CRC errors are not being logged.

If Luma4 does not appear in the Codec tab, reinstall or refresh the Luma4 package before debugging scene bindings.
